How does the placement process work?

We begin with a personal consultation to understand your home, schedule, school calendars, and family rhythm. From there, we run a tailored search and introduce thoughtfully vetted candidates who fit both your needs and your household dynamic.

How long does it take to find someone?

Most placements take 3–7 weeks, depending on the role, hours, and level of specialization. Urgent or temporary searches may move faster.

How are candidates screened?

Every candidate completes a multi-step screening process including in-depth interviews, professional reference checks, background screening, and CPR/First Aid verification.

Do you check references personally?

Yes. We personally speak with former employers—often local families—to understand reliability, professionalism, and caregiving style.

Our Process

Connect & Consult

We connect to learn your needs, walk you through how we work, and ensure we are the right fit for your family. This initial consultation allows us to understand your goals and and outline how our process supports you from start to placement.

Family Intake

We take time to understand your household — children, routines, lifestyle, personalities, and long-term goals — so we are matching the right person, not just filling a role. This step allows us to define expectations clearly and build a customized search strategy.

Role Definition

Together, we define the role, schedule, responsibilities, compensation structure, and expectations to create clarity and alignment from the start. Clear role definition protects both family and candidate and sets the tone for long-term success.

Search & Vetting

We source from our trusted network and carefully vet candidates through interviews, reference checks, certification verification, and background screening — prioritizing experience, professionalism, discretion, and compatibility.

Placement & Ongoing Support

We support offer presentation, contracts, compensation guidance, and start dates — and remain involved with structured check-ins and ongoing support to ensure long-term success for your family.
