Cherry Creek Nanny Agency
Founded by Chicago Native · Ruth Regan-Peterson

Cherry Creek Nanny Agency was founded by Ruth Regan-Peterson, who grew up in Chicago and spent 4 years working for a high-end Chicago nanny agency before launching her own in Denver in 2018. Chicago is where Ruth's career in childcare began — and we're proud to bring our nearly 8 years of agency experience back to the city that shaped it. Chicago families receive the same rigorous vetting, personal matching, and ongoing support that has made Cherry Creek one of Colorado's most trusted placement agencies.

How is Cherry Creek different from Care.com or other listing sites?+
With Cherry Creek, every nanny is personally interviewed, background-checked, reference-verified, and CPR certified before you ever meet them. We hand-select candidates for your specific family — no sorting through unvetted profiles. Most Chicago families meet candidates within 1–3 weeks of their consultation.
What does the placement process look like for Chicago families?+
It starts with a free consultation call with your local coordinator. After that, you complete our parent application, sign the agency agreement, and pay the $350 search initiation fee. We then source, vet, and present matched candidates — most families make a hire within 3–4 weeks.
How much does a nanny cost in Chicago?+
Nanny rates in Chicago vary based on experience, number of children, and duties. See our rates section above for current Chicago market ranges. Our placement fee is separate — 15–18% of the nanny's annual compensation (with a minimum flat rate). Use our fee calculator for a personalized estimate.
