LYDIA THIBODEAU

It’s my pleasure to welcome you to Sommet Nannies. I worked as a full-time nanny for two different families over the course of seven years. That experience led me to envision a one-of-a-kind nanny agency: one that specializes in matching highly educated nannies with busy professional families. My team and I look forward to helping you find your next amazing placement.

The Benefits of Being a Sommet Nanny

A career that enriches your life as well as others’ comes with a certain glow of satisfaction. As a Sommet Nanny, you’ll enjoy these benefits too:

  • Work the hours you want and need to enjoy a life well-lived. Whether you’re looking for a full- or part-time position with a family, we’ve got you covered. 

  • Our families often travel with their nannies. You can explore new destinations with the children you care for—expanding your horizons along with theirs.

  • We educate families on common benefits and compensation standards for experienced, professional nannies, so you’ll earn what you’re truly worth. (Think healthcare and, in some instances, retirement benefits!) Plus, you’ll be employed by your family, not Sommet Nannies, so we’ll never take a cut of your pay.

  • Of course, you’ll spend plenty of quality time with the children in your care. You’ll also have the chance to meet your fellow Sommet Nannies (and potentially a new bestie or two!).

  • Whether you’d like to work in your current city, the metropolis of your dreams, or somewhere that’s not your hometown, chances are, we work with a loving family who’s exactly where you want to be.

  • We firmly believe that the best nannies never stop learning. That’s why we’re happy to pay for our nannies’ background checks, CPR certification, and professional development classes. We also proudly participate in International Nanny Training Day, held every April. 

Words from our nannies

“I was placed with a family a couple months ago through Sommet Nannies. Working with Lydia was great! She is very prompt and thorough and sets you up for success. The family I work for is amazing! For the first time in years, I feel truly valued for my services as a nanny. Lydia negotiated a great benefits and pay package reflective of my experience. I highly suggest working with Sommet Nannies!” - Shanel C.

“I can’t speak highly enough of my experience with Sommet Nannies. I knew I was in good hands from my very first phone call with Lydia. I could instantly feel Lydia’s enthusiasm in finding me a great match. I tried using other agencies but I didn’t feel they were as invested in my job search. I have never met a Nanny Recruiter who is as kind, hardworking, caring, passionate, respectful and professional as Lydia. She is someone who pays great attention to detail, someone who will provide fast communication + updates and someone who will continue to support + guide you even after your placement. I can’t thank Lydia enough for finding me my dream job!” - Angela V.

“Working for Sommet Nannies has been such a fantastic experience! I applied through their agency about a month ago and they responded to me within a couple days. I landed an interview with a wonderful family and start next week! I worked with both Lydia and Mary, and both were so caring and diligent in getting me the best offer with the family. They both truly set me up for success. They have been wonderful and so easy to communicate with -- very prompt. I couldn't believe how quickly I got a position in less than a month! And it's truly a dream job. I received great benefits and a salary that is reflective of my experience. 10/10 would recommend working with Sommet Nannies! I'm so grateful!” - Candice S.

Working as a nanny with Sommet Nannies was a wonderful experience! Every interaction was positive and I felt heard and supported at every step of the way, from my initial interviews all the way through signing a contract with the perfect family. It is so apparent how invested Lydia is in making great matches, for her families but also for the nannies whom she represents. She took great care in matching me with positions that fit with my job preferences, and was always so communicative and supportive. I especially love how easy they make the nanny application process, and how everyone at the agency goes out of their way to make sure you have a quick, smooth process at every step.” - Melissa H.

Working with Sommet Nannies was such a great experience! Their communication through the interview process all the way to signing with a family was seamless and fast paced. I am so grateful for their hard work to help me find an amazing family to work for.” - Erica S.

Sommet Nannies is truly a top notch service. From the nanny perspective the process was easy compared to other local agencies. The available jobs were of a higher caliber than others, and they truly took into consideration what your specific needs were as a nanny. If you’re looking for a truly professional gold standard nanny service, this agency is the way to go!” - Jenn H.

I recently started working with Sommet Nannies earlier this month and I am very pleased with everything so far. 

My sister, who just started a position through Sommet, referred me to them. I have been pleasantly surprised by my whole experience. Lydia and her team have been very helpful, professional and punctual. They respond to emails in a timely manner and are working very hard to keep the process as quick as possible.” - Michele R.

I am a nanny recently placed through Sommet Nannies! Their staff is amazingly supportive, interactive, knowledgeable and reliable. They offer guidance to both me and my nanny family, and continue check ups throughout our time together. They match families and nannies based on similar styles of parenting, backgrounds, and interests ensuring that a perfect match is done each time! I have loved working with Sommet Nannies, and adore my nanny family, which I would not have found without their help! 

I highly recommend nannies using this agency for their own safety and security as well. Sommet is run by a group of women who are all either current or former nannies so they know the hardships that nannies sometimes can encounter. They are always available for guidance and support on any issue that comes across, and advocate for their nannies for proper treatment, pay and benefits! I have loved working with them, and am so thankful I was able to find such a great family to work with from their help.” - Ellie T.
