For Families How It Works
How Hiring a Nanny or Household Professional Works
Georgia’s Dream Nannies (operating across the Southeast as Dream Nannies) places elite, thoroughly vetted caregivers and household professionals with families across Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, and Texas.
Hiring through our agency is not browsing an unverified online job board. You share your household’s unique vision—and our expert team handles the recruiting, rigorous screening, and in-depth vetting. We deliver a hand-picked shortlist of top-tier talent tailored specifically to your home, letting you make the final choice with total confidence.
Since 2003, we have served high-profile, professional, and busy families, specializing in placements for:
Our Process
Our 5-Step Executive Placement Process
1
In-Depth Family Insight Call
Every placement begins with a comprehensive Insight Call regarding your household dynamics, daily routines, parenting values, and exact schedule requirements. We dive into the critical details that ensure a long-term match—guaranteed hours, travel expectations, school pickup logistics, safe-sleep protocols for infants, and daily communication preferences.
By taking the time to define these needs upfront during our Insight Call, we eliminate wasted time and spare you from interviewing candidates who are not aligned with your home.

Targeted Recruitment (No Resume Dumps)
Instead of overwhelming you with hundreds of unverified applicants, we execute a targeted search. We tap into our elite candidate networks, actively source qualified talent, and filter out anyone who fails to meet your exact experience levels, schedule, and lifestyle requirements.

Multi-Layer Vetting & In-House Candidate Screening
Before you ever see a profile, every candidate undergoes a stringent multi-tier vetting process:
- Structured Executive Interviews: Direct conversations with our team evaluating authentic expertise, emotional intelligence, and reliability.
- Confidential Professional Reference Checks: Direct, confidential inquiries sent to former employers with a detailed set of questions to ensure honest feedback, paired with personal phone follow-ups when needed.
- Employment & History Verification: Complete audit confirming past domestic roles, responsibilities, and timeline accuracy.
- Digital Footprint & Privacy Screening: Comprehensive review assessing candidate discretion, professional decorum, and online presence.
- Housekeeping Standards Testing: Evaluated directly using systems developed by founder Serra Deville (former owner of the award-winning cleaning service Pro Maid Squad), ensuring deep knowledge of high-end home maintenance, products, and consistency.
Why this test is different: Serra Deville created it using what she learned building Pro Maid Squad, an eco-friendly cleaning company that relied on unscented, non-toxic products safe for kids and pets. Your housekeeper is measured against real professional cleaning standards, not a generic checklist. Read our story

Curated Candidate Interviews
You meet only the top 1 in 50 applicants who have passed every layer of screening. We coordinate interviews around your family’s busy schedule and provide clear guidance on what questions to ask.
Chemistry is key—if a shortlist candidate does not feel like the right personal fit, we continue searching. You will never be pressured into a placement that doesn’t feel right.
5
Final Background Check & Onboarding Support
When you choose your candidate, we execute a comprehensive criminal and background investigation before their official start date.
- Payroll & Tax Resources: We provide guidance and resources on household payroll setup and employer tax responsibilities to ensure a compliant start from day one.
- Ongoing Post-Placement Support: Our commitment does not end on day one—our agency remains accessible to support your family throughout the transition.

Frequently Asked Questions
We recruit and pre-screen. Everyone you meet has already cleared a team interview, structured reference checks through SkillSurvey, experience verification and an online screening. On a board, all of that work is yours.
Once your family decides to move forward with a candidate, and always before they start working with you. Like most employers, we run the comprehensive check at the point of hire rather than on every person who applies — but nobody begins a placement without one.
No. We place Career Nannies, newborn care specialists, housekeepers, household managers, private chefs and personal assistants.
No. A short, aligned list is the whole point. Volume is what you came to us to avoid.
We do not process payroll ourselves. We will explain what being a household employer involves and refer you to GTM Payroll Services, who handle this properly.
We have a 6-month replacement guarantee. If your nanny does not work out in that window, we will find you a replacement.
A sense of the schedule, the experience you need, a pay range you can sustain, and roughly when you want someone to start. If you are still weighing live-in against live-out, or part-time against full-time, we will help you think it through on the first call.
