Nanny Agency Serving River Oaks

Direct answer

Southwest Domestics places background-checked, bonded, and insured nannies, nanny–housekeepers, and executive housekeepers with River Oaks families. You meet 4–5 pre-screened candidates face to face at our Stafford office before anyone enters your home, and if the match is not right we find a replacement at no additional cost. We have served Houston households since 1990.

River Oaks and the neighborhoods around it

  • River Oaks and Royden Oaks
  • Avalon Place and Afton Oaks
  • Upper Kirby, Highland Village, and the River Oaks District area
  • Montrose and the Museum District
  • Nearby: Tanglewood, the Galleria/Uptown area, Bellaire and West U, and Memorial

For larger homes and households that already have staff

Many River Oaks homes need more than childcare. Families often add a nanny to a household that already has a housekeeper, or they hire one person to cover both roles. We place:

  • Nannies who focus on the children: routines, school runs, activities, and children’s laundry and meals
  • Nanny–housekeepers who also handle household upkeep
  • Executive housekeepers for larger residences, from daily upkeep to deep cleaning
  • Live-in or live-out arrangements, with duties, hours, and time off agreed up front

Tell us at the consultation who else works in the home and how duties are split, so we present candidates who fit the team you already have.

Schools, activities, and driving

River Oaks families’ days often stretch across Inner Loop schools, from River Oaks Elementary and Lamar High School in Houston ISD to private schools such as St. John’s School, plus after-school activities around town. Our intake asks whether driving is required and whether you provide a car, and whether the nanny must be a confident swimmer if your home has a pool.

The interview visit

Our office is about 13 miles southwest of River Oaks via I-69/US-59. You interview every candidate in our conference room in a single visit of about an hour to an hour and a half. Take notes and ask about each candidate’s past experience and previous jobs. You can take as long as you need.

  2. Selection: we present 4–5 hand-picked, vetted candidates.
