Why we built YouTube Nanny
Children can move through online video content faster than any parent or caregiver can manually review it. YouTube Nanny was created to help families and trusted professionals identify potential concerns more efficiently and understand why content may have been flagged.
Our goal is not to replace parents, teachers or therapists. It is to provide clearer information, better organization and more time for the conversations that matter.
Growing beyond YouTube
YouTube Nanny is available today. TikTok Nanny and Roblox Nanny are currently in development as part of a broader family-safety ecosystem.
Independent by design
YouTube Nanny is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by YouTube, Google LLC, TikTok, ByteDance, Roblox Corporation or their affiliates.
