More Than a Nanny Agency.
We’re a Childcare Community.
Personalized childcare and family support built around real families, real relationships, and the right fit.
BABY GOT BACKUP!
Because Every Family Needs a Backup Plan.

Members receive:
• Reduced booking fees

Families can request care as members or non-members.

ABOUT JESS’ WAY
Childcare Support That Fits Real Life
Jess’ Way Nanny Agency & Babysitting Services provides personalized childcare and household support for families throughout the Triangle and surrounding North Carolina communities.
With more than 16 years of childcare experience, Jess Vanhook created Jess’ Way to build something more personal than a traditional placement agency.
Jess’ Way is built around listening to families, understanding what they truly need, and making thoughtful connections between families and caregivers.
We believe successful childcare starts with more than qualifications.
It starts with the right relationship.
WE DON’T JUST MATCH RÉSUMÉS.
WE MATCH PEOPLE.
At Jess’ Way, we believe finding the right nanny is a lot like finding the right relationship.
We look beyond résumés and consider:
• Personalities & family dynamics
• Schedules & lifestyles
• Expectations & communication styles
• Responsibilities & long-term compatibility
It’s not only about whether a nanny is a good match for the children. It’s about making sure the nanny and the entire family are a good fit for one another.
Our goal isn’t simply to fill an open position. It’s to create thoughtful, intentional matches with the potential to grow into strong working relationships.

MEET JESS
Hi, I’m Jess.
I’m the owner and founder of Jess’ Way Nanny Agency & Babysitting Services. With more than 16 years of childcare experience—from summer camps and daycare to working as a nanny—I created Jess’ Way to provide something more personal for families and caregivers.
My approach is simple: finding great childcare isn’t just about experience and qualifications. It’s about finding the right fit.
We don’t just match résumés. We match people.
