Welcome to A Brilliant Nanny
We are Portland's boutique nanny agency. Our passion is helping families find their dream nannies and helping nannies find their dream jobs!
Our clients are working professionals and busy homemakers who value personalized attention for themselves and their children. We provide this level of service because we feel it is the only way to ensure quality and safety in every childcare provider we refer.
We take on only the most professional, experienced, and compassionate nannies. We acquire a deep understanding of their strengths, their work styles and their personalities.
Whether on-call or on a permanent basis, we carefully match our families with our nannies. You will meet nannies who can meet and exceed the needs of you and your family. That is the secret of our success.
