Since opening Georgia’s Dream Nannies (operating across the Southeast as Dream Nannies) in 2003, founder Serra Deville experienced booming success right from the start. Serra’s foundation was built on years of direct, multi-faceted experience—including a comprehensive role for one family where she served simultaneously as their professional nanny, governess, homeschool educator, and household manager. Combined with her background as a private school teacher and 8 years of homeschooling her own children on and off, Serra developed deep, firsthand insight into family dynamics, child development, personalized education, and household operations before ever launching the agency.

Driven to innovate and expand support for busy parents, Serra launched Sitter Today in 2005—an online babysitter and nanny matching platform. By 2009, after four successful years, she made the conscious choice to close the platform—not because it wasn’t growing, but because she simply did not like the hands-off model. Serra realized that leaving parents to guess who to hire from an unvetted online list went against her personal calling. She wanted to fully use her gifts and expertise to truly guide, support, and protect families. Closing the site allowed her to pour 100% of her energy, resources, and heart into scaling Georgia’s Dream Nannies as a premier, full-service agency dedicated to total parent support.

What sets Georgia’s Dream Nannies (operating across the Southeast as Dream Nannies) apart from every other household placement agency is Serra’s real-world, 360-degree experience across every level of domestic care, education, and management. Having served in a multi-faceted position combining the roles of nanny, governess, homeschool educator, and household manager for one family, teaching in a private school, and homeschooling her own children for 8 years, Serra brings unparalleled practical authority to the agency. Combined with founding Sitter Today and the award-winning eco-friendly cleaning company Pro Maid Squad (voted Best of Kudzu), Serra possesses a competitive edge that no competitor can match.

Serra’s leadership, industry insight, and agency success have been highlighted across major news publications—explore our full media coverage on our Media & Press page. She understands private education, individualized homeschooling, direct caregiver roles, digital recruitment systems, and elite household staffing from the inside out. While DIY online sitter sites leave parents sorting through unverified profiles without expert oversight, Georgia’s Dream Nannies applies deep industry expertise, rigorous background vetting, and white-glove agency support at every step—delivering the genuine safety, accountability, and peace of mind that no other platform or agency can replicate.
