"In 2025 alone, we put $27,950 directly back into the hands of nannies in crisis, providing aid to 44% of our total applicants," said Rachael Lubin of the Nanny Relief Fund. "Additionally, 50% of the caregivers who apply for our grants have 10 or more years of experience in the industry."

For Household Staffing, supporting the organization is a natural extension of its mission to promote ethical employment practices and advocate for the domestic workforce.

"Supporting the Nanny Relief Fund was an easy decision to make," said Starla Smith, President of Household Staffing. "I couldn't think of a more deserving group of individuals that work endlessly, making other lives so seamless. I personally vow to continue our yearly tradition of giving, so that we can support others in need of financial help."

The partnership is especially meaningful to Household Staffing's Director of Operations, Olivia Fountain, who spent 14 years working as a professional nanny.

"I remember when Covid hit and I watched on social media as nannies all over were being let go with no notice or protection – it truly broke my heart," said Fountain. "It was amazing to see everyone rallying together to help the helpers."
