The people you trust with your family — matched with the care that decision deserves.
A locally-owned placement firm serving families in Magnolia, The Woodlands, Tomball, and Spring. We place nannies, mother's helpers, postpartum home support, meal prep specialists, and family assistants — each one deeply vetted, personally interviewed, and thoughtfully matched to your family.
Hiring for your home shouldn't feel like a gamble.
Most families we meet have tried the sitter apps, the Facebook groups, the friend-of-a-friend recommendations. They've spent hours writing job posts, screening strangers over text, and wondering whether the person driving up to their door is who they said they were on their profile.
We built The Home Place to end that. We do the vetting, the interviews, the reference calls, and the background checks — then we match you thoughtfully with candidates we'd trust in our own home. You get a shortlist of two or three real, screened, qualified people. You interview them, choose the fit, and know that whoever you pick has already cleared the highest bar we know how to set.
Underneath the boutique feel, we're building The Home Place as a real technology platform — so the same rigor that goes into your match today keeps getting better with every placement, for families and candidates alike.

Fewer than one in twelve applicants makes it to a family we serve.
Every candidate we place clears an eight-stage vetting process — including a national background check, driving record check, in-person interview, three verified references, skills assessment, and a personal reference call with a prior family.
We turn away most of the people who apply to us. It's the reason our matches stick.

“There's a reason families keep resorting to friend-of-a-friend referrals for the people they trust with their children. The apps don't feel safe, the big agencies don't feel personal, and the stakes are too high to guess. We built The Home Place to be the thing families actually needed.” — The Home PlaceRead our story
