Welcome
WELCOME to the BOSTON AREA NANNY SUPPORT GROUP (BANSG) (This site updated March 9, 2010)
*****And introducing a BRAND NEW GROUP for the area north of Boston:
Merrimack Valley and Surrounding Nanny Group
We are an independent social and educational group for local nannies, by local nannies, since 2000. We are also a loose association of nannies connected via an email list and (optionally) the BANSG yahoogroup.
All nannies and au pairs are welcome anytime: experienced, new to nannying, full-time, part-time, live-in, live-out, young and ‘vintage’ and all ages in between, currently working or seeking work, etc. Nannies don’t have a water cooler we can gather around to discuss the job. Come brainstorm and chat with the only people who understand what we do for a living: other nannies!
No dues or fees! We keep our costs down to almost nothing (free meeting space, free speakers, pot luck, etc.) so I can pay them out of pocket, and no one has to stay away from not being able to afford to come.

Our regular meeting space is unavailable until fall…and we are branching out! Sign up for the Nanny News emails for notice of get-togethers in coffee shops, restaurants, playspaces, and other meeting sites!
*NANNY NETWORKING- Find nanny friends in your neighborhood for playdates and after-work get-togethers. Click on Nanny Networking at the top of this welcome page for details.
*RESOURCES -We will be adding pages and files to this site over time. Currently there are hardcopy resources brought to in-person events, such as sample work agreements, nanny newsletters, etc.
* WEEKLY NANNY DINNERS- We meet at a different restaurant every week, all around the various communities in and around Boston so that distance will not be a barrier to any nanny attending at least some dinners. (See “EVENTS” for more information.)
