Northern Virginia · Washington DC · Maryland
The right person for your home is found, never mass‑produced.
A boutique placement practice, led personally by its founder, built for families who want to be known, not processed.
Founder‑Led
Every family works directly with the person who built this agency, not a call center.
Fully Insured
General liability, professional liability, and a business owner’s policy, bound through a specialty carrier.
Boutique by Design
We take on fewer families so we can know each one well, not to compete on volume.
Local, Not National
Rooted in Northern Virginia and the outer Maryland suburbs, where we live and work too.
Why Cornerstone Exists
“You’re not simply hiring someone to watch your children. You’re entrusting another person with your greatest treasures.”
Founder, Cornerstone Talent PartnersMore than thirty years ago, our founder’s mother came to America and became a nanny, not because it was easy, but because she believed every sacrifice she made would one day open doors for the people she loved most. The family she worked for never saw her as “just the nanny.” They welcomed her with dignity, and that relationship shaped everything this agency believes about trust.
What We Place
One search. Every kind of household support.
From a first nanny to a full household team, we take the time to understand exactly what your family needs before we introduce a single candidate.
Nannies & Newborn Care
Full-time, part-time, and specialized newborn care specialists matched to your children’s ages, routines, and personalities.
Family Assistants & Household Managers
The steady hand that keeps a household running: schedules, errands, vendors, and the details only a trusted second-in-command can hold.
Executive & Personal Assistants
Discreet, capable support for busy principals who need someone they can hand things to and trust completely.
Senior Companions
Non-medical companionship and household support for aging parents and loved ones, with warmth and patience at the center.
Babysitters
The same care and vetting we bring to a full-time nanny search, for families who want a trusted name for evenings and weekends.
House Managers & Household Staff
From a single household manager to a coordinated team, built around how your home actually runs.
How It Works
A search that feels like a conversation, not a transaction.
A private conversation
We start by listening: to your household, your children, your standards, and what “the right fit” genuinely means for your family.
A thoughtful search
We personally screen candidates against your specific needs, not a generic database of applicants.
Curated introductions
You meet only candidates we believe are genuinely worth your time, with the context to make a confident decision.
Support after placement
The relationship doesn’t end at hire. We check in, we stay reachable, and we’re here if circumstances change.
A Note On Reviews
We’d rather have no testimonials than fake ones.
Cornerstone is still early, and every family story that appears here will be a real one, shared with permission, rather than a stock quote written to sound convincing. If you work with us and it goes well, we’d be honored to ask you to be one of the first.
Your household deserves more than a job board.
Tell us what you need. We’ll respond personally, usually within one business day.
