How We Vet

The Vetting You'd Do — If You Had a Team and 15 Years

The whole point of an agency is the screening you can't do yourself. Here's what every Hearth & Hollow caregiver clears before they ever meet you.

Deep Background Checks

National criminal, sex-offender registry, driving record, and identity verification — the full seven-point screen, refreshed regularly.

Real Reference Calls

We personally call and verify multiple past-family references — not a form, an actual conversation about how they care.

In-Depth Interviews

Every caregiver is interviewed in person for skill, temperament, and judgment. Only about 3% make it through.

Credentials Verified

CPR and first-aid certification, early-childhood or newborn-care training, and work eligibility — all confirmed, never assumed.

Matched to Your Family

We don't hand you a list. We learn your household, your values, and your chaos, and introduce a genuine fit.

Backed by a Guarantee

If a placement isn't right within 90 days, we re-match at no additional placement fee. Your peace of mind is the product.

The Match Matters Most

We Don't Send a Résumé. We Introduce a Person.

Anyone can hand you a stack of profiles. The hard part — the part that makes a nanny become family instead of a revolving door — is the match. So we start with you: a real conversation about your household, your parenting, your values, your quirks, and the kind of person your children light up around.

Then we draw from caregivers we already know deeply, and introduce only the ones we genuinely believe will fit. You interview finalists we're confident in, we help you navigate offers and trial days, and we stay close through the transition. It's slower than a swipe-right sitter app, and that's exactly the point.

  • We learn your family before we suggest anyone
  • Only genuine fits are introduced
  • We stay close through the whole transition

Safety Is Non-Negotiable

Trust, Verified — Not Just Promised

The scariest thing about hiring a caregiver privately is everything you can't see: the reference that was really a friend, the gap in a résumé, the background that was never actually checked. Our entire reason to exist is to close those gaps before a caregiver ever reaches your door.

Every Hearth & Hollow caregiver clears a seven-point screen — national criminal and sex-offender checks, identity and work-eligibility verification, driving records, verified certifications, and personally-called references — refreshed on a schedule. We're a licensed Georgia employment agency, and we document all of it. You get the person; we keep the receipts.

Common Questions

About Working With Our Agency

How is an agency different from a sitter app or a local Facebook group?

The difference is the vetting and the match. On an app, screening is on you — and 'background checked' often means a single automated database ping. We personally run a seven-point screen, call references, interview every caregiver, and place only about 3% of applicants. Then we match to your specific family, and back it with a guarantee. You trade a fee for genuinely removing the risk and the work.

What does the seven-point vetting actually include?

National criminal history, sex-offender registry, identity verification, work-eligibility, driving record, verified CPR/first-aid and relevant caregiving credentials, and personally-called past-family references — refreshed on a schedule, not just once at intake. We're a licensed Georgia employment agency and we document all of it.

How long does it take to find a match?

It depends on your needs, but many full-time placements are matched within one to three weeks, and backup or occasional sitters often the same week. Newborn night nurses can frequently be placed within days. We move as quickly as a careful, quality match allows — and never faster than that.

What if the nanny isn't the right fit after they start?

That's what the 90-day guarantee is for. If a placement isn't working within the first 90 days, we'll re-match your family with no additional placement fee. Our incentive is a fit that lasts for years, not a quick placement — so we're genuinely invested in getting it right.

Do you place newborn night nurses and backup sitters, not just full-time nannies?

Yes. Alongside full- and part-time nanny placement, we specialize in newborn-care specialists and night nurses for the first months, and we maintain a pool of vetted backup and occasional sitters for date nights, sick days, and emergencies. Same standard of vetting across all of it.

How do your fees work?

Fees vary by the type and length of placement — full-time placements, occasional sitting, and newborn care are structured differently. We're transparent about all of it up front in your free consultation, before you commit to anything. You'll always know the cost before you decide.

How do we get started?

Just request a nanny — tell us what you need and a little about your family, and we'll set up a free consultation to walk through your options and exactly how we work. No obligation, no pressure.
