For Families
The Anchor House Process
Initial Inquiry
Reach out to tell us about your household and hiring needs.
How to Reach Out
- A short form on our Start My Search page
- A direct message on Facebook
- A phone call or email, if you'd rather talk it through first
What Happens Next
We personally review every inquiry, not an automated system. You'll hear back within a day or two to schedule your Complimentary Consultation.
Complimentary Consultation
We'll learn about your family, lifestyle, and the role you're looking to fill.
What We'll Cover
- Your household's day-to-day rhythm
- Your children's ages and needs, if applicable
- The specific role: Nanny, Family Assistant, or Household Manager
- Schedule, compensation, and timeline
How It Works
A real conversation, not a sales pitch. By the end, we'll both have a clear picture of what a great fit looks like. Happy to do consultations by phone, email, or in person! Just let me know when you reach out.
