The Nguyens
Relocating from Houston, TX
Minh and Linh were 6 weeks from their corporate relocation to Boston when they realized their nanny agency shortlist was built for a city they were leaving. Their youngest, Mateo, is nonverbal at 3 — they needed someone who understood AAC devices, not just "experience with toddlers."
Their Search Criteria
Bilingual (Spanish/English), AAC familiarity, full-time
The Comparison Table They Used
| Candidate | Experience | Languages | AAC Skill | References | Rate/hr | Background | Rating |

"Three months in and Rosa has Mateo using his device to ask her for 'more banana' every morning. She showed up on day one with a laminated visual schedule she'd made herself. Nobody told her to. That's the thing about this platform — the reviews told us who she actually was before she ever walked through our door."

Sarah
Solo mum, London → NYC
Sarah returned to night-shift nursing after her maternity leave ended at 14 weeks. She needed someone who wouldn't flinch at 10 p.m. handoffs, could handle solo overnight care, and — this was non-negotiable — would answer her check-in texts by midnight.

"Aisha texted me at 11:47 p.m. on her first overnight to say 'all quiet, she's been down since 8:30, here's a photo.' I cried in the break room. Not because I was sad — because I finally felt like I could do both things. Vetted reviews told me three other night-shift nurses had hired her. That was all I needed."

The Patels
First-time parents, Chicago, IL
Rohan and Divya had never hired anyone for childcare before. They didn't know what questions to ask. They almost hired the first person who seemed "nice." The comparison table they found on Vetted taught them what experienced parents already knew: nice isn't a qualification.

"We almost didn't use a comparison table. We thought, we'll just know. We didn't. Megan's Vetted reviews mentioned she brings a written daily log without being asked. Six weeks in, she handed us a binder. A binder. First-time parents — this platform will teach you what to look for before you're in the room."

How Vetted Works
Why these reviews feel different from everything else you've read.
The platform is built around one premise: parents who've already hired know things agencies won't tell you.
Families submit unedited reviews
No star-rating system that flattens nuance. Full written accounts — what worked, what surprised them, what they wish they'd asked upfront. Submitted after a minimum 6-week engagement.
1,847 reviews · avg. 340 words · 0 editorial filters
Every caregiver is independently verified
Background checks, reference calls (not just emails), and identity confirmation before a single review goes live. Caregivers don't see reviews before publication.
100% background cleared · 3-ref minimum · 48hr verification
Search by what actually matters
Filter by language spoken, experience tier, family structure, care type, and location. The comparison tables you saw above are built from real criteria real families used.
