Why ApniNanny

Everything agencies hide. We show you.

Traditional agencies charge ₹15,000–₹70,000 to introduce you to a nanny — and earn more when you re-hire. We earn nothing on placement, so we have no reason to hide anything.

Important: ApniNanny provides contact information and employment monitoring tools only. All salary negotiations, employment terms, and agreements are conducted directly between families and nannies. ApniNanny is an information platform — not a staffing agency — and earns no placement commission. Nannies have explicitly consented to their contact details being shared with verified platform subscribers. Nanny Watch is a monitoring alert service; ApniNanny does not guarantee nanny conduct or employment outcomes.

What Families Are Saying
"We paid ₹18,000 to an agency last year and the nanny left in 3 weeks. This time I found Sunita on ApniNanny, read 47 reviews, unlocked her number for ₹999, called her directly, and she's been with us 6 months now. I can't believe how simple it was."
👩
Deepa S.
Mumbai · mother of 2
"The personality tags are what sold me. I could see she was rated 'calm' and 'safety-conscious' by 12 different families. Previous agencies just said 'very experienced' — which means nothing. ApniNanny actually tells you who the person is."
👨
Rahul M.
Bengaluru · father of 1
"I'm a nanny and ApniNanny has changed my life. My previous employers left reviews and now 3 families have contacted me directly. I negotiate my own salary. No agency taking half my first month's pay. I get to pick families I feel comfortable with."

Transparency first

What ApniNanny is not

We believe you deserve clarity about what we do — and equally, what we don't. Read this before you hire.

🚫
Not a placement agency
We do not recruit, shortlist, or place nannies on your behalf. We do not charge placement fees or commissions. You find the nanny yourself and hire directly — we are the information layer between you.
🚫
Not responsible for a nanny's conduct
Once you hire a nanny, the employment relationship is entirely between you and them. ApniNanny is not liable for anything that happens during or after the employment — including theft, negligence, or breach of agreement.
🚫
Not a criminal background check service
Our KYC badge confirms Aadhaar identity — it is not a police verification or criminal record check. Reviews on our platform reflect employer experiences, not legal judgements. Always do your own due diligence before hiring.
🚫
Not an official endorsement of any nanny
A listing on ApniNanny — including a 5-star rating — is not an endorsement or guarantee by us. Reviews are written by real employers and reflect their personal experiences. We verify identity, not character.
🚫
Not a mediator for employment disputes
We do not intervene in salary disputes, notice-period conflicts, or employment disagreements between families and nannies. Our dispute process covers only the accuracy of published reviews — nothing beyond that.
🚫
Not a guarantee of availability
Unlocking a contact gives you a direct line to a nanny — it does not confirm she is currently looking for work. Availability status is self-reported. We recommend checking "last active" dates and confirming directly before deciding.
A note from us: We built ApniNanny to bring transparency to an industry that has operated on word-of-mouth and blind trust for decades. We are a platform — a tool to help you make a more informed decision. The final judgement, and the responsibility that comes with it, always rests with you as the employer.
Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Everything families ask before hiring through ApniNanny.

How do I know the reviews are genuine and not fake?↓
Every review goes through three layers of trust before it's published. First, the reviewer must verify their phone number via OTP — anonymous reviews are not allowed. Second, our admin team manually reads every submission and rejects vague, abusive, or suspicious entries. Third, we track reviewer history — a first-time reviewer is flagged differently from someone with 10 approved reviews. We also give nannies the right to dispute any review they believe is false.
Can a nanny delete or hide a bad review about them?↓
No — nannies cannot delete, hide, or approve reviews. All moderation decisions are made exclusively by our admin team. A nanny may flag a review as factually false or defamatory, and our team will investigate within 72 hours. The final decision — whether the review stays or is removed — rests entirely with our admins, not with the nanny. This is what makes our reviews trustworthy: they cannot be managed away by the people they are about.
What happens if I pay ₹999 for a contact and the nanny is unavailable?↓
Your ₹999 credit is non-expiring — it never disappears from your account. If the nanny you contacted is no longer available, your credit stays and you can use it to unlock any other nanny's contact at any time. We also recommend checking a nanny's "last active" date before unlocking — profiles updated within the last 30 days are far more likely to be available.
Do you do police verification or background checks?↓
Our Gold tier includes government-grade identity verification through a licensed KYC partner (Digio / IDfy) — this confirms the nanny's Aadhaar identity and liveness with a face match. This is stronger than most agency "background checks," which are often just reference calls. Dedicated police verification is on our roadmap and will be available as an add-on. For now, the Gold badge is the strongest available signal on our platform.
What if I'm not happy with the nanny I hired?↓
Unlike agencies, ApniNanny does not charge a replacement fee — because we don't place nannies, we connect you directly. If a hire doesn't work out, you simply unlock another contact. The ₹999 credit model means your second search costs no more than the first. More importantly, write a review — your honest experience helps the next family make a better decision, and it's the engine that makes the whole platform work.

Once 3 families write and approve reviews about you, your badge upgrades to Silver with no action required.

Step 3 — Gold via licensed ID verification
Once you reach Silver, complete a 2-minute identity check via our licensed verification partner.
🔒 Why a partner? Direct Aadhaar storage requires UIDAI authorization. ApniNanny uses UIDAI-licensed partners (Digio / IDfy) who conduct the check on your behalf — your Aadhaar number is verified but never stored on ApniNanny servers. This is the legally compliant approach under DPDPA 2023.
