Finding Your People: DC Nannies Exceed Expectations for Adventure Nannies Community Event

WASHINGTON – On January 9th, 2026, Adventure Nannies hosted a community gathering in Georgetown that drew over 100 local childcare professionals, far exceeding expectations and creating a standing-room-only demonstration of demand at Georgetown Inn’s Kitchen 1310.

The overwhelming turnout underscores a vital shift in the local market: professional nannies in the nation’s capital are actively seeking a community that honors their career path and an agency that champions their professional standing.  This movement mirrors a national trend where in-home childcare professionals are increasingly seeking structured networks, trusted partners, and advocacy to solidify their professional careers.

The event attracted a diverse group of high-caliber attendees, including Career Nannies with extensive professional experience, Newborn Care Specialists dedicated to specialized care, and a highly connected network of in-home professionals eager to network and build community after often-isolated in-home roles.

The attendees represented the high caliber of talent available in the DC metro area—professionals who are deeply invested in their work and the development of the children in their care. While the private nature of in-home care often leads to professional isolation, the energy in the room reveals a highly connected network of caregivers eager to engage with peers.

While the gathering offered a much-needed space for networking, the record-breaking turnout signaled something deeper: a powerful alignment between DC’s local workforce and Adventure Nannies’ mission to connect exceptional caregivers with extraordinary families. Caregivers joined us not just to swap stories over appetizers, but to connect with an agency that truly understands the emotional intelligence and professional discretion their roles require. By showing up in such force, these professionals recognized the agency as a dedicated partner—one that champions the nuances of the nanny profession and advocates for the equitable, respectful employment standards every career deserves.

"We organized this gathering to open a door to the local community, and the DC nannies kicked it wide open," said Shenandoah Davis, CEO of Adventure Nannies. "The turnout was a powerful reminder that nannies are looking for partners who see them as the professionals they are. It is an honor to be the agency this incredible community trusts.”

This mutual respect is fundamental to the agency’s operation as a Certified B Corporation™. By prioritizing the workers and community pillars of the B Corp framework, Adventure Nannies aims to elevate industry standards. The enthusiasm shown by the D.C. community highlights that when an agency operates as a force for good, it attracts the exact type of dedicated professionals that families are hoping to welcome into their homes.

The event, captured by local DC photographer, Katelyn Alexandria, served as a bridge, connecting the Adventure Nannies team in person with a vast network of local talent and providing a much needed place for connection for nannies in the area.

The record turnout validates the caliber of professional talent Adventure Nannies represents. Families ready to welcome a professional caregiver into their home are invited to learn about our placement process and connect with our team.
