Thoughtfully Reviewed Profiles
Every biography, photo, and tag is carefully reviewed before a profile goes live.
Parent checklist
While NannyOra reviews certifications and references, we strongly encourage families to:
- Conduct a comprehensive video call or in-person coffee meet before hiring
- Book a short paid trial session (e.g. 2–3 hours) to observe nanny-children interaction
- Review original training certificates, first aid, or registrations together on your first meet
- Contact references independently if your family requires specialized security assurances
- Listen to your children's feedback and trust your parenting instincts
Privacy & secure communication
Personal Details Stay Private
Your home address, exact child names, and contact channels are never visible to the public.
Controlled Vetting Records
Personal documents and police reports are only accessed by manual admin checkers and never exposed.
Secure Chat Channels
Initial contact stays on NannyOra. Feel free to exchange phone details once mutual fit is established.
Encrypted Storage
Sensitive document files are stored in access-restricted buckets using security best-practices.
Platform notice
NannyOra is a platform connecting independent families and childcare professionals. While we carefully review uploaded credentials, we do not employ nannies, act as an agency, or guarantee safety outcomes. Families retain final hiring authority and are responsible for matching, tax, and employment declarations.
