Matron of Familyhood is a boutique placement agency focused on continuity of care and long-term professional matches. Many families connect with us during pregnancy or early postpartum and transition into long-term nanny support as their children grow.
We specialize in thoughtful introductions, professional standards, and stable placements within private homes.
Families seeking Spanish-speaking nannies through our network are often intentionally building bilingual households and value language immersion as part of their child's developmental environment.

Nannies are employed directly by the hiring family as W-2 household employees.
The family is responsible for payroll, tax withholding, workers' compensation (if applicable), employment agreements, supervision, and benefits.
Compensation and guaranteed hours are negotiated directly between the nanny and the family.
Matron of Familyhood coordinates introductions but does not employ or supervise nannies after placement.
Many families begin with a mutually agreed trial period to ensure alignment.
All trial terms are negotiated directly between nanny and family.
Although we are not the employer, we remain available to help facilitate communication if requested. Our goal is long-term, professional placements rooted in clarity and mutual respect.
Submitting an application does not guarantee placement. We reach out directly when a candidate's background aligns with a current or upcoming bilingual family need.
