✔ Pros

• You can ask for screened and vetted candidates

• Agencies often handle background checks and replacements

🔎 Tips

• Ask if the agency does health checks and identity verification

• Confirm whether they offer live-in or live-out nanny placement

4. Local Mom & Parent Groups (Online + Offline)

Many Ikorodu parents also find reliable help through local community networks like WhatsApp groups, estate associations, Parent Facebook groups, and school parent support groups.

• These are often private and only invite-by-reference — but they tend to yield trusted referrals because current parents vouch for caregivers.

• Try asking in groups related to Ikorodu estates, churches, or schools.

Tip: Always do your own verification and short interview, even if a nanny is referred through word of mouth.
