Faith-centered childcare for families and communities, built on the trust of the people we serve.
Our story
Muslim Nannies began with something Khadijah Abdullah kept hearing while she worked as a nanny. Parents wanted a caregiver they could trust in their home, someone who understood their faith and the way they were raising their children, and they did not know where to find one.
She started Muslim Nannies to fill that gap, matching families with caregivers through relationships instead of listings. As masajid, conferences, and families planning weddings began asking for help with their children, she expanded her work into event childcare. Through this work, she and her team have cared for hundreds of children and families, including a single event with as many as 600 children.
Today Muslim Nannies provides event childcare, sitter services, and nanny placement, guided by one belief: caring for a child is an amanah, a sacred trust.

Chief Amanah Officer
Khadijah Abdullah, MPH
Master of Public Health with a concentration in Maternal and Child Health
Khadijah holds a Master of Public Health with a concentration in Maternal and Child Health from George Washington University and has spent her career working on the health and well-being of children, youth, and families.
Before she founded Muslim Nannies she worked as a nanny herself, so she knows this work from both sides of the front door.
A mother first.
Khadijah is a mother herself. She knows the feeling of handing your child to someone else and hoping they will be cared for the way you would care for them.
That feeling is the standard every Muslim Nannies caregiver is held to.
Let’s care for your family together.
