Modern families juggle more than ever. Between demanding careers, endless to-do lists, and the desire to be fully present for the people who matter most, the idea of “balance” can feel out of reach. That’s exactly why The Washburn Agency was created: to give families reliable support, exceptional care, and the peace of mind that comes from having the right team in your home.
With over 18 years of experience serving families, The Washburn Agency connects households with professionals who make daily life smoother, calmer, and more joyful. Our locally based Nashville team brings deep knowledge of the area’s nanny and household staffing market, ensuring every placement is a perfect fit. Whether you’re hiring a nanny, a family assistant, or other household professionals such as housekeepers, chefs, estate managers, or personal assistants, our mission is simple: connect you with people who truly make a difference. And for families who need occasional help, we also offer a convenient and easy-to-use babysitting service, providing flexible support whenever you need it.
A Personalized, White-Glove Approach
What sets The Washburn Agency apart is our white-glove, high-touch service. Household staffing isn’t just about matching resumes. It’s about understanding personalities, lifestyles, routines, expectations, household culture, and long-term goals. You’re not hiring just anyone; you’re welcoming someone into your home and trusting them with what matters most.
Our Nashville team’s local expertise ensures that every candidate we recommend is not only highly qualified but also a great fit for your family. This thoughtful approach leads to stronger working relationships, longer-lasting placements, and peace of mind for parents.
Nannies Who Do More Than Care for Children
In today’s busy world, a good nanny is more than childcare—they’re a partner in your child’s growth and your family’s well-being. Our candidates are experienced, nurturing, and proactive, and many bring additional skills in education, child development, newborn care, or household support.
Parents often tell us how meaningful it is to have a nanny who reads with their child, plans sensory activities, takes them on walks, encourages developmental milestones, and creates a safe and calm environment. Our nannies are committed to helping little ones learn, explore, and thrive, not just keeping them busy. And for families who don’t need a consistent nanny, our babysitting service provides flexible, easy-to-book support for nights out, special events, or a needed break.
Family Assistants: Helping Families Keep Life on Track
For busy families, a family assistant can be a game-changer. These professionals help manage schedules, coordinate household operations, and support both parents and children in daily life. From overseeing school logistics and extracurricular activities to running errands, managing laundry, and assisting with meal prep, family assistants ensure that families can focus on what matters most: spending time together and enjoying life at home.
Many families find that having a family assistant not only saves time but also reduces stress and creates a smoother household rhythm. For Nashville parents balancing work, school, and family life, this support can make a world of difference.
Trusted Household Professionals Across the Spectrum
While nannies and family assistants are central to family life, The Washburn Agency also connects households with a variety of skilled professionals. Housekeepers, private chefs, estate managers, and personal assistants are all part of our network, allowing families to build a team tailored to their unique needs. Each professional is carefully vetted, ensuring the highest standards of service, discretion, and reliability.
