CELEBRATING PRIDE MONTH: OLIVER’S NANNIES EXPANDS ACCESS TO CHILDCARE FOR LGBTQ+ FAMILIES
Leading nanny agency Oliver’s Nannies provides inclusive childcare solutions to diverse families and their unique needs.
TARRYTOWN, NY, June 2026 – Oliver’s Nannies, a premier nanny agency with locations nationwide, is celebrating Pride Month by highlighting its commitment to making childcare more accessible, inclusive, and welcoming for LGBTQ+ families.
- 41% of LGBT adults living with children under 5 could not access childcare, compared to 30% of non-LGBTQ+ adults.*
- LGBT adults were more likely to take unpaid leave, lose their job, leave their job, and not look for a job due to challenges in finding childcare.*
As childcare shortages continue to impact families across the United States, LGBTQ+ parents often face additional barriers when seeking childcare. Stigma and safety concerns are two major causes of inequities for LGBTQ+ families – businesses may not allow LGBTQ+ parents to enroll their children, or the parents or children can face discrimination. Due to these barriers, many parents struggle to find care providers who understand and respect their family’s structure, values, and needs. For LGBTQ+ families, finding inclusive childcare can be an important factor in ensuring children feel supported and safe and in ensuring parents feel confident in their care arrangements.
Oliver’s Nannies was founded on the belief that every family deserves access to dependable childcare. The agency works with families of all backgrounds and structures, providing personalized childcare solutions that help parents balance work, family, and daily responsibilities.
"Every family is different and learning about each home is a beautiful part of what we get to do every day. Creating a childcare space where all are not only welcome but also celebrated and seen is part of our mission."
"Finding the right nanny match is just as much about the family culture as it is about the necessary childcare components. Access to acceptance and care is something that should be afforded to all." -Kathy Livingston, President & Founder of Oliver’s Nannies
Oliver’s Nannies creates custom, individualized care solutions for their families. The agency works closely with parents to understand their family’s needs, routines, schedules, children’s personalities, and parents’ caregiving preferences to develop an individualized care plan for each child. The agency also utilizes their proprietary childcare matching model, Olico®, to connect families with compatible caregivers. By combining customized care plans with carefully vetted nannies, Oliver’s Nannies provides tailored childcare that help children thrive while giving parents the confidence that their family’s unique needs, values, and dynamics are understood and respected. Through this personalized approach, the agency helps make quality childcare more accessible and supportive for a diverse range of families seeking care to fit their lives.
