What Types of Household Staff Can I Hire Through Town + Country Resources?

Town + Country Resources (tandcr.com) is a domestic household staffing agency that places four main categories of professionals: childcare staff (nannies and family assistants), newborn care specialists, housekeeping staff, and estate and executive staff. The agency also offers a separate background check service for candidates you find on your own. It serves families across the continental United States and describes both long-term placements and temporary assistance, with more than 180,000 placements over 40-plus years.

The four staffing categories

Childcare staffing

Experienced nannies and family assistants who provide day-to-day care and support for children. This is the category to start with if your main need is reliable coverage for mornings, evenings, or full days while you work or handle other commitments.

Newborn care specialist staffing

Trained specialists who focus specifically on the needs of a newborn. This differs from general childcare: the specialist's scope is the newborn period rather than ongoing child supervision, so it fits families who need concentrated support right after a birth.

Housekeeping staffing

Professional housekeepers who handle cleaning and upkeep of the home. Choose this category when the priority is maintaining the household itself rather than supervising children or managing property operations.

Estate and executive staffing

Professionals who manage estate operations and executive-level responsibilities. This is the broadest category and the right fit when your household needs someone to run logistics, staff, or property matters rather than perform direct care or cleaning.

How the categories compare

Background check services

If you find a candidate independently rather than through the agency's placement pool, Town + Country Resources offers background check services to verify that candidate's qualifications. This is a standalone service, not a placement category — useful when you already have someone in mind but want verification before hiring.

How to decide which category you need

• Children need daily care or supervision → childcare staffing.
• You have a newborn and need focused, short-term expertise → newborn care specialist staffing.
• The home itself needs consistent cleaning and upkeep → housekeeping staffing.
• You need someone to run the household, property, or executive logistics → estate and executive staffing.
• You already have a candidate but want them vetted → background check services.

The agency states it vets each candidate to align skills and experience with your specific needs, and it offers both permanent placement and temporary assistance. If your needs span more than one category — for example, childcare plus housekeeping — you can explore the relevant categories separately and combine placements.
