Thank you for helping us out twice in finding a nanny for our kids. Our both nannies have been very wonderful and very nurturing to our kids. The experience in the process with you was very smooth and dealing with you was so professional. You were very thorough, readily available and very attentive to our needs. Thanks once again for all your help.

We had a wonderful experience working with Rachel at Southern Nannies Plus. She was very prompt at answering emails and always pleasant and professional to work with. Rachel was able to match us with a wonderful nanny that was able to accommodate a very special schedule. She is meticulous in her selection of candidates and only provides families with options that she fully endorses.

We highly recommend Rachel Harville from Southern Nannies. We were new to Birmingham and she coordinated the entire process in a professional manner - all while we lived states away. She took the busy work out the process and screened and interviewed candidates. She carried a huge burden for us. We performed phone interviews long distance, interviewed our nanny the first week we arrived in town, and our nanny started when we began working. Rachel was incredibly thorough and we don't know how we would make it without our nanny. Another aspect of this process that we didn't know until after the hire was how respectful Rachel was to our nanny. Our nanny refers her friends to Rachel because Rachel was such a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended.

Birmingham's Nanny Agency Since 2001
Southern Nannies Plus is a professional nanny placement agency serving Birmingham, Alabama and surrounding communities. Since 2001, we have helped families find trusted, experienced nannies through a personal referral process — carefully vetting each candidate before presenting them to the family.
We are not a database-type system where anyone can sign up to be a nanny. Every caregiver goes through a rigorous multi-step screening and interview process before being referred to your family. We connect you with nannies who are not only the most qualified — but who genuinely love caring for children. It's a passion and a talent.
From daily childcare to household support — children's laundry, preparing simple meals and snacks, childcare-related tidying — our nannies keep your Birmingham home running smoothly while you're at work, giving you the peace of mind you deserve.
What we offer
Care that goes beyond the basics
One-on-One Care
Our nannies nurture, care, educate, and engage your child's development during your absence, as they help children become confident and caring individuals beyond the boundaries of childhood.
Serving Birmingham & All of Alabama
We place nannies throughout the Birmingham metro — Mountain Brook, Hoover, Vestavia Hills, Homewood, Trussville, Helena — and across Alabama including Huntsville, Madison, and the Florida Gulf Coast.
When & Where You Need Us
We cater to our clients by being available beyond just normal hours. We offer flexibility for your nanny to assist and be available for date nights, weekends, or even travel with your family.
Learn about our process
A placement process built on trust
Application & fee
Southern Nannies Plus requires a non-refundable application fee of one half of the total placement fee. This fee allows us to begin the search for your new nanny.
The search begins
Once your application and fee are received, we begin matching you with the perfect nanny based on your stated needs. This search could take a few days or a few months — however long it takes to find the right fit for your family.
Candidates & interviews
We contact you with candidates we feel match your needs, discuss their qualifications and background, and set up interviews. We can assist with the interview process — asking questions you may not think to ask — or you can interview candidates on your own. If a candidate doesn't feel right, we keep searching until we find the one for you.
Placement & agreement
Once we've found your match, the remainder of the placement fee is paid in full and we set up a meeting to sign the work agreement and contract. We accept credit cards, check, money order, or cash.
