A Nanny Solution LLC. - Dedicated To Finding You The Right Nanny

Guiding parents and their children to be fulfilled and to achieve their highest potential is a great passion in her life. As a parenting expert and a businesswoman, she's helped thousands to develop solid family foundations, to overcome old family patterns and to access the joy in life.

Chandra earned a bachelor's degree in psychology with a focus on counseling, research and child development from Santa Clara University. She also completed much of the coursework for a counseling psychology and education master's degree. While still in her 20s, she became a successful businesswoman, founding Traveling Nannies, the first online nanny agency in the San Francisco Bay Area. At Traveling Nannies, she placed nannies around Silicon Valley and set standards for professional nanny salaries.

A key ingredient to her business success has been conducting in-home interviews to carefully match nannies to the home environment. She was the first to do this and many agencies have since adopted this approach. She also dramatically expanded the menu of offerings beyond what most nanny agencies offer.

Throughout her many years of specialty nanny care, she personally provided a wide variety of services to families, from being a travel nanny to a household manager, from caring for preemie triplets to helping parents with special-needs children. As a household manager, she oversaw the daily household operations of a family of five, maintaining their family calendar, supervising teams of nannies, cleaners, landscapers, maintenance people and contractors. She prepared all-organic menus, cooked macrobiotic and raw food, organized closets, attics, garages, sheds, cabinets, and children's clothes for size and season. She has worked with high-needs children, helping their parents with discipline, behavior modification, brain nutrition, exercise and diet, and learning disabilities. Her specialty is newborn development with an emphasis on the interval between birth and three years of age.

Dawn Ferguson comes by her knack for childcare naturally. Growing up in Maine, she was one of seven children, raised by an amazing mom. With infinite patience and calm, Dawn's mother taught her how to handle everything from potty training to sibling rivalry.

Realizing that she loved to be around kids, Dawn found early work experience caring for children, first becoming the neighborhood babysitter, then as a dance instructor, a camp counselor, and a soccer coach.

Dawn reinforced her work experience with formal education at the University of Southern Maine, where she studied Sociology and Elementary Education. Her professional experience as a nanny has been rewarding and varied, where her service has been as a live-in nanny, a weekend nanny, and primarily as a full-time nanny for a high-profile family in New York. With more than a decade of experience, Dawn is now considered one of the most sought after nannies in New York City.

Dawn joins A Nanny Solution with professional knowledge that comes from a depth of experience and natural talent. Recently a new mom, Dawn now has one more experience to add to her storehouse, that of being a parent to her daughter Saylour.

Dawn knows that finding the perfect nanny for your family is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and she truly desires to help families — and nannies — find the perfect match with A Nanny Solution.

“Thank you so much for your detailed assistance when I was in need of a nanny. I found your agency to be prompt, honest and far superior to those I previously worked with. Your prices are practical and your candidates were all stellar. Given your evident professionalism I can predict you to be in the nanny business for years to come.”
