Planning a nanny search from The Woodlands

  • One interview visit: The Woodlands sits north of Houston off I-45 and the Hardy Toll Road, and our office is in Stafford on the southwest side, so we line up several candidates for a single visit. You can take as long as you need.
  • Be specific about location and hours: it helps us present candidates who can reliably commute to your village or who are open to live-in roles.
  • School runs: most Woodlands families are in Conroe ISD, and parts of Creekside Park are in Tomball ISD. Tell us your schools and activity schedule so we can match for after-school pickup and driving.
  • Driving, travel, and pools: our intake covers driving, whether you provide a car, travel with the family, and whether the provider must swim.
