The Lowcountry Difference
Finding someone available is easy. Finding someone you trust with your children is different.
Our boutique placement experience is designed for families who want more than a list of applicants. We provide personalized guidance throughout the search, carefully evaluate potential candidates, and help you make a confident hiring decision for your home.
A Search Built Around Your Family
We take the time to understand your children, household, schedule, parenting philosophy, and expectations before beginning the search.
Carefully Evaluated Candidates
Candidates are evaluated through our screening process, including interviews, references, background screening, and qualification review as applicable to the position.
Curated Introductions
We focus on compatibility and quality rather than overwhelming families with applicants.
Support Beyond Placement
Our relationship continues after hiring, providing families with guidance and support as their nanny relationship develops.
Your Private Placement Experience
Step 1: Family Consultation
We begin by learning about your children, schedule, household, parenting preferences, and what matters most to you in a caregiver.
Step 2: Personalized Search Strategy
Once your family officially begins placement services, we develop your position and begin a targeted search based on your family's specific requirements.
Step 3: Recruiting and Screening
Our team recruits, interviews, evaluates, and screens potential candidates so you do not have to navigate the search alone.
Step 4: Curated Introductions
We introduce qualified candidates selected for your family and guide you through interviews, trials, and final selection.
Step 5: Confident Placement
Once you've chosen your nanny, we assist with expectations and employment agreement guidance to help establish a strong professional relationship from the beginning.
Step 6: Continued Agency Support
Our team remains available after placement, giving your family continued support as your nanny relationship develops.
