What Is Town + Country Resources and What Does It Do?

Updated

Town + Country Resources (tandcr.com) is a household staffing agency that matches families across the continental United States with domestic professionals. It serves two audiences at once: families looking to hire, and candidates looking for household work. According to the site, the agency has operated for over 40 years and reports more than 180,000 successful placements.

What services does it provide?

The agency organizes its placements into several categories of domestic staffing:

Service What it covers
Childcare staffing Nannies and family assistants who care for and support children
Newborn care specialist staffing Trained specialists focused on the needs of newborns
Housekeeping staffing Professional housekeepers handling cleaning needs
Estate & executive staffing Professionals to manage an estate and handle executive responsibilities
Background check services Verification of qualifications for candidates a family finds independently

The site also states that it offers both long-term solutions and temporary assistance, so placements are not limited to permanent roles.

Who is it for?

There are two distinct paths on the site, and the right one depends on which side of the hiring process you are on.

If you are a family or employer: You start by exploring the agency's pool of qualified professionals. The stated process is that the agency vets each candidate to align their skills and experience with your specific needs. Typical searches named on the site include a full-time nanny, a professional housekeeper, or estate management staff.

If you are a candidate: The site provides a separate route to "build your career" and find jobs, positioning the agency as a connector for people seeking household staffing roles rather than only for families.

What should you check before deciding?

A few practical points are worth confirming directly with the agency, because the site does not spell them out:

  • Fees and pricing. The site does not publish rates or fee structures, so ask how the agency charges families and whether candidates pay anything.
  • Placement terms. The site mentions permanent placement and temporary assistance, but the specific terms, guarantees, and replacement policies are not detailed on the page.
  • Geographic coverage. The stated service area is the continental United States, so confirm availability for your specific location.
  • Background check scope. The site lists background check services as an add-on, including for candidates you find on your own — clarify what a check includes if that matters to you.

If you want a staffing agency with a long operating history and a broad set of domestic categories — childcare, newborn care, housekeeping, and estate staffing — Town + Country Resources fits that description. If you need published pricing or a specific local guarantee before contacting anyone, plan to request those details first.
