    We help people take care of the things that are closest to their hearts: their homes, parents, and kids.

    Nanny Lane is CareGuide's newest product, dedicated to making quality child care accessible to families across North America. We know that life can be stressful and busy, and the right child care makes all the difference. Our tight-knit team of seven is focused on building a best-in-class product (rated 4.7 stars on Google) while growing quickly (~300% year over year growth).
