Finding the right childcare option is one of the biggest decisions parents face.

Whether you’re juggling a career, running a business, or navigating a life transition, ensuring your child receives quality care is a top priority.

But how do you know what’s best for your family—hiring a nanny, enrolling in daycare, or exploring other alternatives?

In this episode of the Money Boss Parent Podcast, I sit down with Brynn Ungerleider, a seasoned childcare expert with over 20 years of experience in childcare, household management, and nanny placement. Brynn shares her insider knowledge on how to choose the right childcare, the costs involved, and how her agency helps parents find trusted, high-quality nannies.

About Brynn Ungerleider

I began babysitting to afford CDs, but it quickly grew into a 20+ year career in nannying and household management. I discovered that nannying goes beyond care; it’s about enriching lives, coaching children, and supporting families through life’s ups and downs. My purpose has always been helping others, from my first babysitting gig to working with families nationwide. With over two decades of experience, I started this agency to support career-driven mothers or those navigating divorce. Someday, I hope the love and support I’ve given will come full circle when I juggle my own motherhood and career.
