FOR FAMILIES

Finding the right
person starts here.

Finding the right support is about more than filling a role. It's about finding someone whose experience, personality, and approach fit naturally into your family’s life.

WHAT WE PLACE

Support that fits your life.

01

Nanny

Personalized childcare that fits your family's routines, parenting style, and day-to-day needs.

02

Family Assistant

Flexible support combining childcare with the household tasks that keep everyday life moving.

03

Household Manager

Support overseeing the moving pieces of your home, from errands and vendors to everyday logistics.

THE PROCESS

You don't have to figure it all out yourself.

01

Tell me what you need.

Start with an complimentary consult or jump right into the family profile and tell me about your household, what you're looking for, and when you need support.

02

Let's talk it through.

We’ll talk through your family, schedule, household dynamics, and the role you’re looking to fill. We’ll also discuss your priorities, expectations, and the qualities that matter most to you so I can understand what a truly good fit looks like.

03

I search for you.

I personally source candidates based on everything we discussed, looking beyond a resume to find professionals whose experience, personality, and approach align with your family. Every candidate is carefully screened and vetted before I introduce them to you.

04

We find your fit.

From candidate introductions and interviews to trial days, offer support, and the transition into your home, I’m there to guide you through each step. I’ll help you navigate questions, provide perspective when you need it, and stay involved through placement so you never feel like you’re figuring it out alone.

GOOD TO KNOW

A few things
families ask.

How long does the placement process take? +

Every search is different, but most placements take two to six weeks. Timing depends on your role, schedule, location, and the availability of the right candidates. With that said, I only take on a small number of clients at once so I can spend the dedicated time finding you the right fit as quickly as possible!

The fee covers the full search, including role planning, personalized sourcing, candidate screening, Insight Interviews, reference verification, background checks, introductions, interview coordination, and offer support.

What should we expect to pay our household professional? +

Compensation depends on the role, experience, schedule, and responsibilities. Anchor House placements start at $30/hour, with compensation discussed and established before candidates are introduced.

How do you screen and vet candidates? +

Candidates complete an application and Anchor House Insight Interview, followed by reference verification and background screening before being presented to a family.

What happens if the placement isn't the right fit? +

Your placement includes a 90-day replacement guarantee. If the placement ends within that period, Anchor House will conduct a replacement search at no additional placement fee.
