Wonderful experience as a nanny!

Britt GW

I have been a nanny for Southern Standard and they are OUTSTANDING. The owner is attentive, detailed, friendly, kind, considers all the big and little things... I have been a nanny for over 22 years and I am unsure why I had not used this method before. It was completely seamless for me from communicating with the family, the contract... everything!

If you are a professional nanny looking for a professional company.. this is the one for you. If you are a family looking for a trusted service thats vets their placements well and handles all the heavy lifting... this is the place for you. ♡

 Laura is hands down the best placement service in the Nashville area. I felt continuously supported by her and her team in the placement process. And the support she offers after placement is invaluable. I highly recommend her!

I've been with this nanny agency for two wonderful years, and I can confidently say they are a true gem in the childcare industry. Laura is the owner and is also a mom. She and her staff's professionalism shines through every interaction, from matching families with the perfect caregiver to their ongoing support and guidance.

Their dedication to excellence and genuine care for both nannies and families make them invaluable in creating harmonious and fulfilling childcare experiences. I wholeheartedly recommend this agency to anyone seeking top-notch childcare services.

Perks

Nashville's Ultimate White Glove Household Staffing Experience

Access to a responsive team who cares about you.
You don't get to the size we are without caring about the nannies you represent. Nannies are so important to us. With two of our internal team sitting on the Nanny Relief Fund Board of Directors, you can trust that our hearts are in advocacy and activism and that is woven into our day to day operations at Southern Standard Nannies.
Access to families who will value you and your contributions to their household and the childhoods of their children.
We're protective. We're picky. We can see through all the noise. To put it simply, there are families in Nashville who we aren't keen to support in their searches for a nanny. We make our values known so that the families we're looking to represent are drawn to us. Your experience matters deeply to us.
A backup care service built to truly support you.
You deserve to take a sick day without your employers tossing a bunch of stress your way, and we get it- it's hard for them not to without the support of a back-up care plan. We've created that for both you and the family you work for and we're here to support for planned time off and sudden needs.
We’re big advocates for the caregivers we work with- and you can trust that.

We pride ourselves on being selective with the clients we partner with, ensuring we understand their unique needs before they officially sign with our agency. Unlike some agencies that may begin their search with just a small retainer and minimal client knowledge, we prioritize getting to know our clients first. This approach sets us apart and allows us the ability to ensure our clients will be a good match for YOU!

Here are a few things you can look forward to:

Competitive pay.

2 weeks of PTO.

Health stipends and/or reimbursements are usually offered.

Access to additional income through our back-up care opportunities!

Unlimited support from our team after hire.

5 paid sick days.

Guaranteed hours.
