Simple
Think one word, SIMPLE! At The Tailored Nanny we make the process of finding a nanny or home manager so easy. We do all the pre-screening, background checks, reference checks, and interviews for you. We visit with you to get to know your family personally and better understand the culture and dynamic of your home. This allows us to choose a nanny that will thrive with your children and the entire family. We will handpick candidates that we feel meet your needs. Each nanny will have a trial day to work in your home. This will allow both the family and the nanny to connect and get a feel of the environment to ensure the best match. Once the match is made, your custom, tailored nanny is on the way and you’ve got the help you need!
For more information about the process, fees and questions please submit a request for info and we will contact you as soon as possible.
The Tailored Difference
We know parents have choices when it comes to choosing the right nanny agency to help their family. The Tailored Nanny wants families to know that we separate ourselves from other agencies in two distinct ways.
First, The Tailored Nanny charges a flat-rate fee, not a percentage rate. We feel a percentage rate pushes families into paying a higher Nanny rate, just so the agency can get a bigger fee-and that’s not fair! Keeping a flat-rate placement fee keeps things simple and fair for all parties. The Tailored Nanny provides market rate consultations to better assist families in choosing a competitive hourly wage.
Second, and probably the biggest difference between The Tailored Nanny and other agencies is the detailed matching process that happens between nannies and families. All families answer about 65 questions in order for The Tailored Nanny to match them with the right Nanny. Finding a nanny is a personal process and the name says it all! The Tailored Nanny truly tailors each placement to each families needs. We understand what works for one family might not work for another. We pride ourselves in having a 95% success rate with matching nannies and families! Call us today for a free phone consultation to find out why we are different.
At The Tailored Nanny, our goal is simple: to make finding a nanny easy and rewarding. Each placement is fully customized to fit your unique family, with hours of interviews and screenings to ensure the perfect match.
The fee for custom nanny placement is $4,300. This includes unlimited text messages, phone calls and emails, along with interviews and a full background check. Families pay a registration fee to get started.
We’ll present 3-5 candidates for you to interview and try on a trial basis. If none are the right fit, we’ll find another at no extra cost. After a 4-month grace period, additional placements will incur a fee. For more details, please submit a request below.
Meghan Meyer2025-03-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Laramie has been so wonderful to work with as we’ve searched for the perfect nanny for our baby. The quality of candidates that she sends to you really attests to the amount of work she puts in ahead of time. We would have happily hired any of the potential nannies we interviewed - it simply came down to minor differences in how we and our baby clicked with our new nanny. We had a few hiccups with a last minute injury preventing a start date as we planned and Laramie has been with us every step of the way to ensure we were covered. We’re just so thankful! Greg Van Sickler2025-02-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our only regret is not using Laramie sooner! She was fantastic start to finish. After some struggles with other agencies, we ran across Laramie's services. The thing I appreciated most was her transparency on cost. No guessing, no hidden fees, she was very upfront from the start, making the process so much more comfortable. She lined us up with some great interviews and we LOVE the nanny we chose. We loved Laramie's background as a nanny turned businesswoman, so she truly understands both sides of the fence -- helping us bridge the gaps of perspective as a parent vs. perspective as a nanny. We could not recommend her more! Jake-Erin Umbriaco2024-11-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a wonderful experience with Laramie! She is very helpful and thorough, and really took the time to help us explore and define our needs so we could find exactly what we need. She provided us with multiple excellent candidates to choose from, and we are very happy with our nanny. I highly recommend her! Brittany Montgomery2024-11-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t express how grateful we are to have The Tailored Nanny in our corner. We recently moved to Houston and was a little apprehensive about trusting someone else with our babies! We were quickly provided each nanny’s background checks. The care that’s been provided for our three children has been OUTSTANDING! Every nanny has shown up BEFORE their scheduled arrival time, which I truly appreciated! The kiddos LOVES all of them! Elizabeth Nemec2024-10-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We came to Laramie after weeks of searching for a nanny on our own and with another agency, which was extremely time consuming and exhausting. We appreciated that Laramie actually took the time to ask questions and listen to exactly what we were looking for in a nanny vs. just sending us whomever was available and leaving it up to us to sort through candidates on our own, check references, negotiate terms, etc.. It truly was the 'Tailored' nanny experience, where we ended up with multiple candidates who met our qualifications and in the end, made it difficult to choose one candidate, as we loved them all. We are very grateful to Laramie for her help and would highly recommend! Kelley Edwards2024-09-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’re so thankful to have found Laramie and The Tailored Nanny to help with our last two nanny searches. After my own arrogance led me to believe I could find a new nanny on my own, our family found ourselves in a scary situation when we almost hired someone who had fabricated her references. I contacted Laramie, and her help was such a blessing! I call her the “nanny matchmaker” because she takes the time to really understand your family’s personality and needs and then works tirelessly to find the perfect nanny candidates for you to consider. We couldn’t believe how quickly she led us to our perfect match. When that nanny moved on to focus on school, Laramie came through for us again. It’s such a help to be able to rely on her to source, thoroughly vet, and background check the potential candidates. I won’t hesitate to work with Laramie again should we have the need in the future. Cheryl Preston2024-07-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Laramie is dedicated in providing professional services and support for both nannies and families. She is there to assist nannies after job placements. Mayrid Martinez2024-07-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Laramie is the best! Very helpful and understanding person. Love her for all the help and support. She definitely stands for the needs of the caregivers and families and she’s very sweet ! She always listens and offers good advice ! Definitely recommend her to find the right fit for you! Kolin Pound2024-05-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an amazing experience with Laramie - she works quickly, is always available and takes the time to understand exactly what you need and works tirelessly to find candidates to fill that. We used Facebook for our first Nanny search, but after utilizing Laramie would highly recommend going directly to the expert and not attempting to navigate by yourself.
Hello & Welcome
My name is Laramie George, and I am the proud owner of The Tailored Nanny.
Being a mother and career nanny myself for over a decade, I can relate to both nannies and families. Through years of experience, I have come to understand just what it takes to be a nanny- love, compassion, patience and so much more. Also, being a mother, I know just what families need.
I know how important it is when connecting a family with a nanny, a perfect fit is everything. My mission is to create a customized experience that will provide you with a nanny that is tailored to fit your unique family. Personally, I can think of nothing more rewarding than finding the perfect fit between nannies and families.
Parents….you’ve got this and I’ve got your back! Together we will create a custom childcare experience for your children and whole family.
Nannies….A good nanny is worth her weight in gold. Together we will find you a family to grow with and become a part of.
Sincerely, Laramie George
Owner & Founder
The Tailored Nanny
Here at The Tailored Nanny, we are always looking for new and loving nannies, home managers, mothers' helpers, and personal assistants. We know your worth, and we are dedicated to finding you the right family that feels the same way. Our nannies work directly for the family and are never forced to sign agency contracts- you deserve all your hard-earned money! We do, however, provide an offer of employment between nannies and families. This protects both parties and is smart to have.
TTN also prefers phone consultations over a typical application. Please submit a request, send a text or call us for more information on how to apply.
Call us at 832-890-0100 or 918-200-4420. Feel free to send a text or give us a call or submit an inquiry or request. We will be back with you shortly.
A: Typically, nanny placements take an average of two weeks. Some take less and some take more time. To get a better understanding on the amount of time your placement may take, please give us a call to discuss the details- We are happy to talk to you anytime!
A: Yes. All the nannies work directly with the family. The family is responsible for paying the nanny directly.
A: TTN will help families navigate this area. We do not handle the taxes for you. We give advice and guidance on what works best for your family.
A: TTN uses a multifaceted approach. We have many outlets to recruit nannies. We have nannies who call and email us every day looking for the right family. We also use a nanny referral system, which works great. We have a lot of the same outlets parents do, however, we have the dedicated time to sift through hundreds of people. Leave the legwork to us!
A: We use a local Houston company to perform all of our background checks. This particular company has been established since the mid-80s, so they have a great track record. (Parents receive a copy of all background checks). They check arrest records, sexual offender registry, criminal and driving records. Families can add a civil search for an additional fee. This includes checking for things such as lawsuits, judgements, liens, and bankruptcies. Keep in mind that most agencies only do a simple criminal background check-not a civil one. We believe having both is smart!
A: Pretty much anything! If you are not satisfied, we aren’t either. Whether it’s not a good fit, your nanny moves or gets sick-you’re covered! Keep in mind, TTN has a 95% success rate matching nannies and families.
