Why Philia Child Care?

We Match the Nanny
for You!

If you need child care services in Washington, DC, rest assured that Philia isn’t just another nanny staffing agency. Before matching you with a caregiver, we work with you to fully understand your needs so that when we send someone to you, you can be confident that the person is a trusted caregiver who matches your nanny needs.

Thoroughly Vetted
Reference Checks

We personally verify three references, and they must be excellent! We don’t just ask if the person worked there, but we ask many questions to get an idea of the person as a nanny to make certain that she is reliable, responsible and a highly qualified nanny.

Background
Checks

Philia’s background checks are the most rigorous in the industry. They go back 7 years and check the national registries plus the criminal registries of every state and county the person has lived in during that time frame. The caregivers driving records are checked. All Nannies are legal to work in the US.
