Nanny Placements
You found your rhythm. Your doula knows your baby, your home, your preferences. And now the postpartum support is winding down — and you’re not sure daycare is the right fit for your family.
We get it. That's exactly why we built this.
Sun & Stars Nanny Placement connects families with carefully vetted nannies across Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois — whether you're transitioning out of postpartum doula care or building your childcare team from day one.
The support doesn't have to stop when the fourth trimester ends.
Who This Is For
-
Your doula support is wrapping up, but your baby isn't magically self-sufficient yet. A nanny keeps the continuity going — someone who understands infant care, who fits your family's rhythm, and who doesn't require a from-scratch explanation of how you do things.
-
Returning to work, managing multiple kids, or simply building a household that functions — whatever brought you here, you need someone reliable, experienced, and genuinely good with children.
-
Background checks, reference calls, experience verification, values conversations — the part nobody wants to do themselves, especially with a newborn in the house. That's what we're here for.
What We Place
We match families with nannies across a range of arrangements — whatever your family actually needs, not just what's easiest to fill.
Newborn & infant nannies — specialists in the early months, often with postpartum doula backgrounds and newborn care training.
Full-time, long-term nannies — for families building a consistent, ongoing childcare relationship.
Part-time & flexible nannies — for schedules that don't fit a traditional full-time mold.
Temporary placements — short-term coverage for transitions, parental leave gaps, or trial periods before committing to a long-term arrangement.
How It Works
Tell us about your family
We start with a conversation. Schedule, location, baby's age, your parenting approach, any specific needs or preferences. The more we know, the better the match.
We do the work
We source, screen, and vet candidates from our network. Background check, reference verification, experience review, and a personal interview — every time, no exceptions.
Meet your candidates
We present you with matched candidates and facilitate introductions. You interview, ask your questions, and make the call. We don't rush it.
Placement and support
Once you've found your person, we handle the placement paperwork and are available to support the transition. You don't figure out the handoff alone.
Why Sun & Stars
Most nanny placement agencies don't come from the postpartum world. They don't understand what a family looks like at six weeks postpartum, what a recovering mom actually needs from a caregiver, or what it means to find someone who fits a home that's still figuring itself out.
We do. That context changes everything about how we recruit, screen, and match.
Our nannies aren't just childcare providers — they're people who understand early parenthood, who communicate well, who show up, and who treat your home with the discretion and professionalism your family deserves.
Placement Fees
Nanny placement is a separate service from our postpartum doula care, with a one-time placement fee based on the scope of the search and the type of placement. Fees are discussed during your initial consultation.
Current Sun & Stars postpartum clients receive a placement fee discount as a thank-you for growing with us.
