Nanny in Miami, FL | MIA Nanny Agency

Miami is one of the most demanding childcare markets in the country. Families in Coral Gables, Pinecrest, Miami Beach, Cocoplum and Coconut Grove often need more than a sitter: they need a dependable, discreet professional who can follow a newborn routine, support school-age children, travel with the family and respect household privacy. MIA Nanny Agency has worked inside this referral-based network since 2005, and more than 1,038 South Florida families have trusted us with their search.

Every candidate we present is interviewed by our placement team, has verified childcare references, current CPR and First Aid certification, and a nationwide criminal background check that includes local county records. We match on schedule, language, temperament and experience — many of our nannies are bilingual in English and Spanish, and some speak Portuguese, French or Russian. Hablamos Español.

Local pay depends on experience and duties. In Miami-Dade, professional nannies typically earn between $25 and $40 per hour; specialized newborn care, overnight coverage, live-in roles, travel and nanny-housekeeper positions sit at the top of that range or above it. We help you set a fair, competitive offer so the strongest candidates say yes, and we support you through contract negotiation.

Many of our clients are relocating to Miami from New York, Latin America and Europe. We can run the full search before you land: we review your family profile, present featured candidate profiles, and coordinate Zoom interviews so your nanny is ready on arrival. Expecting parents usually reserve a baby nurse during the second or third trimester to secure the best specialists around their due date.

Families choose one of three placement packages: Basic / Advise at $1,500 plus taxes with a 90-day replacement warranty, the Standard Package at $2,500 plus taxes with a 6-month replacement warranty (our most popular), or the Premium Package at $3,500 plus taxes with a 12-month replacement warranty. A $500 non-refundable retainer plus applicable taxes activates the search and is credited toward the selected package total. The remaining balance is due before contact details are shared, before any in-person meeting or trial, and before the first working day. We accept Zelle, Venmo and bank transfer. All agency fees are final and non-refundable; replacement support is provided instead of refunds.

Whether you live in a Brickell high-rise, a waterfront home on the Venetian Islands, a gated estate in Pinecrest or a family home in South Miami, we treat every search with the same confidentiality. Our team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, at (305) 942-9642 — a real person answers, never a machine.

Most families reach us after a few frustrating weeks on job boards. The difference with an agency is that the screening happens before you meet anyone. When you call (305) 942-9642 or register online, a placement specialist asks about your schedule, the ages of your children, the languages spoken at home, whether you need live-in or live-out help, and the neighborhood you live in. A family in Brickell with a newborn and a family in Pinecrest with three school-age children need very different candidates, so the brief matters.

Once the $500 retainer plus applicable taxes activates the search, we shortlist candidates who already passed our nationwide and county-level background check, reference verification and CPR and First Aid confirmation. You review profiles, choose who to meet, and we coordinate the Zoom interviews. Contact details, in-person meetings and paid trials happen only after the remaining package balance is paid, which keeps every introduction professional and discreet.

Because most Miami-Dade households commute across the county, we also match on practical details that job boards ignore: whether the nanny drives and has a clean record, whether she can handle the US-1 and I-95 commute at school pickup time, and whether she is comfortable with pools, pets and hurricane-season preparation.
