Frequently asked questions
What is a nanny–housekeeper?
A nanny–housekeeper combines childcare with household duties such as laundry, meals, and upkeep, so one placed professional covers both. Southwest Domestics places nanny–housekeeper combinations as well as dedicated nannies, housekeepers, and executive housekeepers.
Should I hire a nanny–housekeeper or a separate nanny and housekeeper?
It depends on your schedule and how much of the day is childcare versus household work. Tell us every duty at the consultation; we place nanny–housekeeper combinations for families who want one hire, and dedicated nannies, housekeepers, or executive housekeepers when the roles are better kept separate.
What should I tell you at the consultation?
The number of bedrooms, pets, and any pool (and whether the nanny must be able to swim); whether cooking, ironing, errands, or driving are required and whether you provide a car; your preferred days and hours; and the specific childcare and housekeeping duties, including whether you provide a written schedule.
Are your nanny–housekeepers background-checked?
Yes. All personnel undergo background checks, rerun for every placement, and all have verifiable references. All personnel are bonded and insured, and we only present providers with previous experience.
Where do I interview candidates?
In person at our office, 13847 Stafford Rd, Stafford, TX 77477. You meet 4–5 hand-picked, vetted candidates; interviews are free, each usually lasts 10–20 minutes, and the whole visit typically takes about an hour to an hour and a half.
How much does a nanny–housekeeper cost in Houston?
The same experience classes apply to nanny–housekeepers, nannies, and housekeepers. Full-time (35–40 hours a week): Class A (up to 5 years experience) $25–$30/hr, Class B (up to 3 years) $23+/hr, and Class C (up to 2 years) $20+/hr. Part-time rates are set case by case with a 4-hour minimum per visit. A one-time $175 registration fee applies, and there is no finder’s fee.
Can I hire a live-in nanny–housekeeper?
Yes. We place live-in and live-out arrangements. For live-in roles, duties, hours, and time off are agreed up front and pricing is set at your consultation. Live-out hours over 40 a week are billed at an overtime rate in accordance with Texas law.
Do you provide cleaning supplies?
No. Southwest Domestics does not provide cleaning supplies. Most clients prefer to use their own products, chosen for their home and preferences.
What if the match is not right?
Southwest Domestics offers unlimited free replacements: if you are not satisfied, we keep finding a new match at no additional cost until you are happy, and we provide ongoing support after placement.
How do I get started?
