Questions from Raleigh-Durham Families
Do you place nannies familiar with Research Triangle Park commute schedules?
Absolutely. Many of our Triangle placements involve families where one or both parents commute to RTP, which means early morning starts and variable evening schedules. We specifically match families with nannies experienced in managing flexible routines and after-school activities independently.
Can you find a nanny with a background in STEM or education?
Yes — the Triangle’s concentration of universities and tech companies means we have access to candidates with degrees in education, child development, and even STEM fields. Many RTP families specifically request nannies who can support homework in math and science.
How quickly can you place a nanny in Raleigh?
Most Triangle placements are completed within 2-4 weeks. For urgent needs — such as families relocating to the area for new RTP positions — we offer expedited searches that can yield qualified candidates within 7-10 days.
Do you serve families in both Raleigh and Durham?
Yes, we serve the entire Research Triangle including Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Cary, Apex, Wake Forest, Holly Springs, and all surrounding communities. Our knowledge spans the full metro area.
What about nannies who can drive to multiple activities?
Essential in the Triangle where neighborhoods are spread out. All our driving candidates have clean records, reliable vehicles, and experience navigating Triangle traffic — from Ravenscroft carpool to swim lessons at the YMCA.
Do you help with nanny taxes and legal employment?
We guide every family through proper W-2 employment, including North Carolina’s flat 4.5% income tax withholding, federal requirements, and connecting you with household payroll services that handle everything seamlessly.
Can you find a nanny comfortable with pets?
Many Triangle families have dogs, cats, or other pets. We always discuss pet comfort during our screening process and can specifically seek candidates who love animals and are comfortable with pet care responsibilities.
What makes Dream Nannies different from other Triangle agencies?
Our 23+ years of experience, 1-in-50 acceptance rate, and deep understanding of Triangle family culture sets us apart. We’re not a matching app — we’re a white-glove placement service that personally vets every candidate and understands the nuances of RTP professional family life.
