Why Velvet Village Nannies

Reliable placements—built on trust, fit, and support

Our process is designed to protect your family’s time and peace of mind—while creating a great experience for caregivers, too.

Vetted, reference-checked candidates

We screen for experience, professionalism, and alignment—so you meet candidates you can feel confident inviting into your home.


Matches aligned on values and lifestyle

We look beyond resumes to find the right fit for your parenting style, household rhythms, and expectations.


Ongoing consulting after placement

Monthly check-ins for the first 3 months, a 6-month check-in, and ongoing availability for guidance as needs evolve.


Placement guarantee & backup support

If a nanny leaves, a new placement search begins immediately. Temporary/emergency nannies may be available when needed, and in rare cases a pro-rated refund may apply within the first 6 months.
