— Nanny · Frankfurt am Main
Vetted, warm, professionally trained childcare — privately introduced to families in Frankfurt, the Taunus and the wider Rhein-Main region.
Families in Frankfurt live at a considered pace: international schools, senior professional roles, travel between financial centres, and a private life that requires calm at home. The right nanny is not simply a childcare provider — she is a steady, discreet presence a child can trust from morning to bedtime.
ZEN Family introduces nannies in Frankfurt am Main, Oberursel, Kronberg, Königstein, Bad Homburg, Bad Soden and across the Taunus. Every candidate is personally interviewed, reference-checked with previous employers and assessed against the ZEN Family Certified™ standard before she meets a family.
— What we place
We place full-time, part-time and live-in nannies for children from newborn to early-teen years. Bilingual (English/German), francophone and multilingual profiles are available on request — a common need for internationally mobile families in Frankfurt's banking, consulting and diplomatic communities.
Every placement is shaped around the family's actual rhythm: school drop-offs, after-school routines, weekend cover, evening events, sibling dynamics and travel schedules. We do not present generic profiles. We present two or three candidates who fit — and we only do so once we understand your home in detail.
— Why families choose ZEN
Our work is confidential by default. Family names, addresses and personal details are never shared with candidates before mutual interest is confirmed. Interviews happen in a controlled setting — often at your home, with only the professionals you have approved.
Because we work by referral and by appointment, our roster is small and known to us personally. This is why families in Frankfurt return to ZEN Family for their second and third placement, and why we are able to introduce a nanny within days when a situation requires it.
— The region we serve
Our nanny placements in the Rhein-Main region regularly include Frankfurt-Westend, Sachsenhausen, Nordend and the Diplomatenviertel, as well as Oberursel, Kronberg, Königstein, Bad Homburg, Bad Soden, Falkenstein and Wiesbaden.
For families splitting time between Frankfurt and a second residence — the Côte d'Azur, Zürich, London, Belgium — we regularly place nannies who are comfortable travelling and working across two households.
