HISTORY

The agency was established by Tracy Lockenour in 1995. While working as a nanny, she discovered there was no agency in our area to help connect families and nannies. In fact, there is no other licensed agency between St. Louis and Chicago. Tracy sold The Nanny Agency, Inc. to Julie Payne in 2000. Julie owned and operated The Nanny Agency, Inc. until 2006 when she sold the business to Mike and Sarah Masters. There are currently over 500 families using the agency's services and approximately 160 child care professionals associated with the agency.
