Why Southern Standard Nannies
A Note From Our Founder

Great care does more than fill a schedule- it changes how a home feels. It brings ease back into your day, softens the weight of managing everything alone, and reminds you that support doesn't have to be hard to find.When families finally have the right person in place, something shifts. The mornings run smoother. The stress lightens. There's space to breathe again- not just for you, but for your marriage, your kids, the quiet moments that matter most.

Building your village shouldn't feel complicated. With over a decade of relationships in Nashville's childcare community, we're here to connect you with the kind of support that brings calm, confidence, and a little more joy back into your everyday.

It would be our honor to help.

Get Started
One Year Replacement Policy

We stand behind every placement we make because we're invested in your family's long-term success, not just a quick match. If your nanny leaves within the first year of employment for any reason, or you're just not feeling like we nailed the fit, we'll find you a replacement at no additional placement fee.

This policy reflects our commitment to getting it right the first time, while also recognizing that sometimes circumstances change despite everyone's best intentions. We stay in close contact with both families and caregivers throughout the first year to provide support, troubleshoot challenges, and help preserve great working relationships whenever possible. Our placement team remains available to guide you through any adjustments or concerns that arise.

We don't just make placements- we create partnerships built to last. This guarantee gives you confidence that we're standing beside your family every step of the way, ensuring your household runs smoothly and your children receive the exceptional care they deserve. When you work with Southern Standard Nannies, you're not just hiring a nanny; you're gaining a trusted partner committed to your family's success for the long haul.

Complimentary Back-Up Care

Life happens, and when it does, we've got you covered. Every family who hires a nanny through Southern Standard Nannies receives complimentary access to our network of vetted back-up care providers for those inevitable moments when your regular nanny is unavailable due to illness, vacation, or personal emergency. We'll even cover date nights and ad hoc weekend coverage.

Our back-up caregivers are hand-selected professionals who meet the same rigorous standards as our permanent placements. They're experienced, reliable, and ready to step in seamlessly so your household doesn't skip a beat. Whether you need coverage for a day, a week, or longer, we make sure your children are in capable, caring hands while your nanny is away.

This isn't just an add-on service- it's our commitment to supporting your family holistically. We understand that consistency matters, which is why we work to match you with back-up providers who align with your household's rhythm and values. You'll never be left scrambling to find last-minute care or compromising on quality when the unexpected happens. With Southern Standard Nannies, you have a full support system, not just a single placement.
