Today, she’s a trusted name in the industry, known for helping families find the right nannies, house managers, and estate managers to make home life easier.
Our name says it all: “heart” for the warmth and care we bring into every placement, and “wood” for the strength, trust, and integrity we build with every family.

At Heartwood Lifestyle, we’re more than just a staffing agency—we’re your partner in creating a balanced home, whether that means finding the perfect nanny, a reliable house manager, or a skilled estate professional.
