Yes. Military families are an important part of our Columbia practice. We understand the unique challenges of military schedules — deployments, TDY assignments, and irregular hours — and find nannies who provide stability and flexibility.

Absolutely. Our nannies are familiar with Heathwood Hall, Hammond School, Cardinal Newman, Richland One and Two districts, and Lexington schools. They handle carpool, homework help, and after-school activities seamlessly.

Columbia’s diverse community — state government, university, military, and medical — creates demand for versatile professionals. The affordable cost of living means families can often afford more comprehensive household support than in larger metros.

Yes. University families often have unique scheduling needs around academic calendars, sabbaticals, and research travel. We find nannies who adapt to these rhythms and provide consistent care for children.
