Your work is a profession. Your placement experience should reflect that.

Oak & Ivy represents experienced household professionals seeking legitimate, clearly structured opportunities with families who value their work. We take the time to understand your experience, strengths, preferences, compensation expectations, and long-term goals.

Representation begins by listening.

A role may sound attractive on paper and still be wrong for your working style, schedule, career direction, or preferred household environment. Oak & Ivy asks the questions needed to understand where you are most likely to succeed.

Understand

Learn about your experience, specialties, preferred ages, schedule, environment, responsibilities, travel, and career goals.

Present Accurately

Share your qualifications and preferences with appropriate families through a private agency process.

Coordinate

Manage interviews, communication, feedback, paid trials, and offer discussions through the agency.

Support

Remain available during placement and transition rather than disappearing after an introduction

Experience matters. So do judgment, communication, and trust.

Oak & Ivy seeks professionals who combine practical ability with reliability, discretion, emotional intelligence, and sincere respect for the families they support.

Matching from the professional side

The family’s needs are only half of the match.

Oak & Ivy coordinates introductions through the agency and presents information appropriate to the stage of the search. Complete candidate identities are not published publicly, and communication remains guided until the placement process calls for direct contact.

Privacy and communication

Your information is handled privately and professionally.

Complete candidate profiles are not published publicly. Oak & Ivy controls introductions through the agency, shares information appropriate to the placement stage, and expects confidentiality and respectful communication from everyone involved.

Employment standards

Legitimate opportunities with clear employment expectations.

Oak & Ivy supports lawful W-2 household employment, guaranteed hours when appropriate, legal overtime, paid time off, paid holidays, sick leave, mileage reimbursement, travel compensation, and written agreements that define the role.

Application process

What to expect after you apply.

The professional process may include application review, agency interviews, reference and employment verification, certification review, role-appropriate screening, candidate profile development, family introductions, paid trials, and offer support. Applying does not guarantee an interview, introduction, or placement.
