Why Families Choose Southern Standard

Our size isn't coincidental— it's the result of being exceptionally good at what we do. We attract Nashville's top-tier nannies and household professionals because they know we represent the best families and opportunities. This gives you an exclusive advantage: access to candidates other agencies simply cannot reach.

We don't waste your time with dozens of interviews. Our expert team knows your world, understands what excellence looks like in your home, and presents only candidates worthy of your consideration. Each one vetted to the highest standard. Each one truly exceptional.

Effortless. Refined. Uncompromising.

When the Days Feel Too Full

Modern family life is full, fast, and often overwhelming. Many parents are carrying more than anyone can see— and doing it with less help than ever. We exist to restore calm, structure, and the kind of dependable support every home deserves.

Juggling too much at once

Between work, school schedules, naps, meals, and unexpected needs, the day rarely goes as planned—and burnout begins to creep in.

Struggling to find reliable, trustworthy help

You’ve tried sitters, apps, or referrals, but nothing has felt consistent, truly matched with your family in mind, or truly aligned with your family’s values.

Wishing for more time, presence, and peace

Evenings feel rushed and overly task focused, weekends feel full of catch‑up with no quality time with your children, and you’re craving a rhythm that lets your family breathe again.

We had a flawless experience with Laura. A couple of conversations and a meeting with her and she found us the perfect fit in less than a week. We had been looking for a long time. The company is so professional and has a lot of included services like back up nannies and a 90 day guarantee. Laura is so prompt and responsive. She was always available when I needed her. They do all of the hard work so you can relax!

Laura was wonderful to work with and helped us navigate a nanny share with three families. She was incredibly responsive and supportive throughout the process of matching us with a nanny. She found us multiple, excellent options and we eventually found a wonderful nanny for our boys.

A Note From Our Founder
Laura Frank

Great care does more than fill a schedule- it changes how a home feels. It brings ease back into your day, softens the weight of managing everything alone, and reminds you that support doesn't have to be hard to find.

When families finally have the right person in place, something shifts. The mornings run smoother. The stress lightens. There's space to breathe again- not just for you, but for your marriage, your kids, the quiet moments that matter most.

Building your village shouldn't feel complicated. With over a decade of relationships in Nashville's childcare community, we're here to connect you with the kind of support that brings calm, confidence, and a little more joy back into your everyday.

It would be our honor to help.
