About the Owner

Meet Cera Parrino
Your Trusted Early Childhood Education Expert

After 22 years in early childhood education, I've learned what truly helps children thrive and what doesn't. My career spans nearly every level of early learning. I've worked as a nanny and a classroom teacher, led schools, and served as a District Instructional Coach supporting more than 100 educators. I've held Executive Director roles with Goddard and KinderCare, and as a Franchise Consultant, I supported 38 Goddard franchise owners in strengthening their programs, their teams, and the experience they offered families. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education from Ashland University, where I graduated Cum Laude, along with an Ohio Teaching License for PreK through 3rd grade and a K12 Reading Endorsement. Together, those experiences have given me a unique perspective on what exceptional childcare really looks like.

​

Throughout my career, I've hired, mentored, and evaluated hundreds of childcare professionals. I know that finding the right nanny isn't just about experience or passing a background check. It's about identifying someone with the knowledge, instincts, and heart to nurture a child's growth while becoming a trusted extension of your family.

​

When it came time to find care for my own twins, I expected the process to reflect everything I knew about child development. Instead, I discovered that most nanny agencies focused almost exclusively on resumes and background checks, with very little attention to the developmental expertise that shapes a child's earliest years. That experience inspired me to create Everly Nannies.

 

Everly Nannies was built on the belief that families deserve a more thoughtful approach. We don't just match families with qualified caregivers. We carefully select professionals who understand child development, embrace play based learning, and are equipped to support each child's unique growth. I evaluate every candidate the way an experienced educator evaluates teachers, looking at how a caregiver supports a child's development, communicates with parents, and handles the everyday moments that matter most. Every search is personal and tailored to your family, from our first discovery call through placement and beyond.

​

Because choosing someone to care for your child shouldn't feel like a gamble. It should feel like one of the best decisions your family ever makes.

Our Promise to You

Every family deserves a nanny who doesn't just keep your children safe – but helps them thrive. We use our professional expertise to identify caregivers who truly understand how children learn, grow, and develop at each stage, from infancy and beyond.

When I’m not matching families with amazing nannies, you'll find me enjoying the arts in the area, reading, or spending time with my family.
