Our Story

Oliver’s Nannies started as an idea to help two busy parents find work-life balance between professional commitments and the joy of starting a family. When Kathy Livingston and her husband Sergio started to expand their family, they quickly realized that finding the right childcare that fit their needs and schedule was a challenge. Kathy, who always had a love for starting small businesses, saw an undeniable opportunity to make life easier for parents through high-quality, reliable childcare services.

Thus, Oliver’s Nannies was born. Kathy and Sergio are determined to provide families with accessible childcare and exceptional service. Oliver’s Nannies strongly believes in always having a team to call to manage your care, as well as employing a team of nannies with access to benefits. Every family is offered the safety and security of oversight, fully vetted nannies, and insurance to keep their home safe.

Oliver’s Nannies has been a proud care partner to families throughout Essex, Union, and Morris Counties, NJ since 2018, including Kathy and Sergio, who continue to enjoy the benefits of Oliver’s Nannies childcare.

It wasn’t long before they realized this is a solution needed by families all over. Calls started coming in from different parts of the country, and it was quite clear that Oliver’s Nannies can be a one-of-a-kind opportunity not just for families seeking care, but for entrepreneurs. In 2022, Kathy developed an opportunity for entrepreneurs to bring this concept to life through purchasing an Oliver’s Nannies franchise. 

This unique model for nanny services is proud to provide a variety of care solutions for families and a successful model for franchisees throughout the community. Oliver’s Nannies is there to give parents a helping hand and franchisees the work-life balance and fulfillment they’ve been searching for.
