METHODOLOGY

At MummyNanny, our mission is to empower Mummies with the knowledge to make informed decisions while also celebrating the hardworking Nannies who consistently deliver exceptional care. To achieve this, we've developed a transparent and balanced ranking system based on two main criteria:

1.

Truncated Total Evaluation Score

After each job, Mummies are invited to evaluate their Nanny's service across three areas:

Bullet

Cooking (5 points max)

Bullet

Baby Care (5 points max)

Bullet

Mummy Care (5 points max)

This gives a maximum of 15 points per job.

To ensure fairness and reflect consistent quality, we calculate a Truncated Total Evaluation Score by summing the Nanny's 6 highest evaluation scores within the past calendar year.

YEAR 2024

84 Score

Average Evaluation Score:

13.4 Score

If a Nanny receives scores of 15, 13, 15, 13, 11, 13, 15, and 12 across 8 jobs in one year, her Truncated Total Evaluation Score is 84 (sum of the top 6).

This approach:

Bullet

Rewards Nannies who stay active throughout the year

Bullet

Encourages consistent, high-quality service

Bullet

Reflects input from multiple Mummies (not just one or two)

Bullet

Gives room for improvement, without punishing early learning or one-off mistakes

We intentionally moved away from using Average Scores only, as Mummies expressed difficulty trusting rankings based on a small number of high-rated jobs. This method helps build confidence through demonstrated, ongoing excellence.

2.

Profile Strength

We also evaluate the completeness and credibility of a Nanny's profile. A strong profile helps Mummies better understand who the Nanny is and what they can expect. We assess the following elements:

Bullet

Personal introduction and languages spoken

Bullet

Personal photos for connection and trust

Bullet

Annual job statistics

Bullet

Preferred and past job locations

Bullet

Sleeping preferences

Bullet

Types of food prepared

Bullet

Job packages offered

Bullet

Payment structure

Bullet

Best qualities

Bullet

Unique username for easy recognition

Each completed item earns 1 point. These are normalized to a maximum of 15 points for Profile Strength.

A high Profile Strength score indicates an informative, trustworthy, and up-to-date profile, making it easier for Mummies to compare options and choose with confidence.

Icon TESTING AND FEEDBACK

We tested several ranking approaches, including one based solely on Average Evaluation Score. This would highlight Nannies who only took on a few jobs but earned perfect ratings. For example, a Nanny who completed just one job lasting several months and received a perfect 15-point evaluation would appear at the top of the rankings under this method.

While it sounds fair, this method had drawbacks:

Bullet

Mummies found it misleading and did not reflect a Nanny's overall performance—how can you trust a profile with only one or a few high-scoring evaluations?

Bullet

Nannies felt it unfairly favored those who completed fewer jobs per year, rather than those who served many families consistently and reliably.

Based on this feedback, we refined our system to recognize both performance and professionalism over time. We also considered job duration. While some Nannies may take longer jobs, the average confinement job on our platform lasts about 28 days. Since most Nannies can take up to 6–8 jobs per year (with a 14-day break between each), our truncation method (top 6 scores) provides a fair reflection of their work.

Icon FINAL METRICS

Our rankings are based on:

1

Truncated Total Evaluation Score. Reflects performance across multiple jobs and feedback from different Mummies.

2

Profile Strength. Reflects transparency, credibility, and effort put into presenting a trustworthy profile.

The global rankings consider the Nanny's 6 highest evaluation scores within the past calendar year. For the country rankings, we consider the Nanny's 24 highest evaluation scores within the last 4 years for jobs within the specified country.

This dual-metric approach strikes a fair balance—giving Mummies the information they need, and giving Nannies credit for consistent, reliable, and quality care. We are always evolving, and this system will continue to improve with feedback from our community.

RELATED FAQS

Nannies are ranked based on two main factors: their Truncated Total Evaluation Score and their Profile Strength.
After each completed job, Mummies evaluate the Nanny’s service in three areas: Cooking, Baby Care, and Mummy Care, with a maximum of 15 points per job. A Nanny’s Truncated Total Evaluation Score is the sum of her six highest-rated jobs within the year, rewarding consistent, high-quality service across multiple families.
Profile Strength reflects how complete, detailed, and credible a Nanny’s profile is. This includes elements like personal introduction, photos, work history, food types prepared, sleep preferences, and verified job portfolios. The more complete and professional a profile is, the higher the score.
Together, these two metrics form a fair and transparent system that helps Mummies compare Nannies and make informed hiring decisions.
Nannies know their reputations are on the line when you pay their deposit through the platform. We created the MummyNanny World Confinement Nanny Rankings to encourage Nannies to always provide their best performance. Every Mummy who pays their Nanny's deposit through the system will be able to submit a public evaluation of the Nanny's performance, which seriously impacts her reputation and position on the world rankings. This directly impacts Nannies' chances of getting future jobs, so they’ll work hard to impress you.
Because your peace of mind matters. When you pay through MummyNanny, your deposit is protected by a money-back guarantee. Nannies know you can leave a public evaluation on their profiles, which determines their world ranking and directly affects their chances of getting future jobs. This motivates them to give you the best possible service.
In most cases, it is because they know it won't affect their chances of getting the next job. On MummyNanny, every Nanny's performance is evaluated, and reviews affect their future bookings. That's why Nannies are more committed to doing their best when you pay their deposit through the platform.
