Understanding TeacherCare

How does your nanny placement agency source private teachers and teacher nannies?

 We operate an elite, nationwide executive recruitment engine dedicated exclusively to long-term household matches. Unlike standard childcare platforms or temporary staffing registries, our private teacher and nanny placement agency actively sources career-minded educators who hold accredited degrees in Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education, or Special Education.

 

Our recruitment team filters through hundreds of candidates to identify the top 5% of professionals nationwide who want to transition their skills into a private home environment. Every private teacher and teacher nanny we represent goes through our rigorous internal screening protocol, including comprehensive credential verification, deep professional reference mapping, and nationwide criminal background checks, before their portfolio is ever presented to a family.

TeacherCare tends to work best with families who:

  • value education and emotional development
  • want personalized support rather than one-size-fits-all childcare
  • appreciate thoughtful communication
  • view learning as part of everyday life
  • want educators who model curiosity, kindness, professionalism, and emotional intelligence

 

Some families are seeking support for a new baby. Others need homeschool support, travel education, gifted education, or neurodiverse learning guidance.

 

Many simply want a more intentional home learning environment for their children.

Families often contact TeacherCare when searching for:

  • a nanny with a teaching background
  • an educated nanny for a baby or toddler
  • a homeschool teacher
  • a private teacher for travel
  • ADHD or executive functioning support
  • gifted education support
  • infant developmental support
  • a Montessori nanny
  • live-in educator support
  • a more personalized alternative to daycare or traditional childcare

 

Many families tell us they struggled to find an agency that truly understood both education and family life at home.

TeacherCare works with families who prioritize education, development, emotional intelligence, and thoughtful support at home.

Some clients are high-net-worth families with multiple residences or travel schedules. Others are families intentionally investing in personalized learning because they believe it will profoundly shape their child’s future.

 

Teacher Nannies & Private Educators

What is a teacher nanny and how does your agency define the role?

A teacher nanny is an educator who combines high-quality childcare with intentional learning and developmental support.

  • language development
  • emotional intelligence
  • curiosity
  • creativity
  • routines and structure
  • preschool readiness
  • early academics
  • confidence and independence


TeacherCare places private teachers and teacher nannies ranging from infant specialists to experienced homeschool educators, educated nannies with child-related degrees and both live-in and live-out nanny teachers.

Traditional nannies often focus primarily on childcare and daily routines.


Teacher nannies and educator nannies combine caregiving with intentional developmental and educational support.
