Types of Positions We Place

The Skyline Process

  • “I had a really great experience working with Maryann to find a position. She was super communicative, honest, and genuinely cared about finding the right fit for me instead. The whole process felt supportive from start to finish.“

    -Taylor C., Nanny

  • Working with Maryann was one of the best decisions I made in my nanny career. What set her apart was her commitment to educating families on industry standards: guaranteed hours, legal pay, holidays, PTO, and sick time, before even presenting them as a potential match. That level of proactive advocacy made a real difference and allowed me to enter the placement process with confidence. Maryann genuinely cares about the professionals she works with, champions nanny respect and education, and holds the entire process to a high standard.
