About Heartwood Lifestyle

About the process

Initially, we interview every candidate ourselves. During our interview, we spend a lot of time just getting to know each candidate. We are looking for those special individuals that have the passion, drive, and professionalism, where working with children and domestic care and management comes naturally. 

We then check all of their references and talk in-depth with the families that they have previously worked for. Detailed notes are taken during conversations with these families and estates, and this information is available to you as well when you find the candidate you are interested in. Everyone is required to have at least 5 years of related experience (most have more). 

We have the most sophisticated background check in the industry, including multi county/state, criminal, felony, misdemeanor checks, sexual predator checks, and driving record checks.

Our background checks go back to the age of 18 and check every county in the country. We run background checks through many sources and platforms to ensure all due diligence is made to ensure the safety of our clients. Our background screening process has be customized for individuals working with children and in family homes. All candidates working with children must be CPR certified as well.

We like to keep ourselves wide open to our families for communication. We know that regular business hours are sometimes not the most convenient times to talk “nanny.” Our families always have our direct line so they can reach us on evenings and weekends at their convenience. 

We are a local family with strong family values as the top priority. We are extremely dedicated and run our business from the heart. We are honest, ethical, and hard working. We want nothing but the best for your family.
