About Us

A bespoke service built on trust

"We don't just place nannies. We take the time to find the right person for your home, your children, and your life."

Cornerstone was built on a simple belief — that families deserve more than a name from a list. We take time to understand your household, your values, and your needs, and match you with a nanny you can genuinely place your trust in.

Every nanny in our network has been interviewed in person, rigorously vetted, and completed our in-house training programme. We serve both private families and the hospitality sector — including hotels and luxury properties across Cape Town and the Winelands.

Our Difference

The Cornerstone
Nanny Pack

We don't just find nannies — we prepare them. Every Cornerstone nanny completes our in-house training programme and arrives with a complete, professionally prepared portfolio. No surprises. No gaps. Just a nanny you can trust from day one.

Your family receives a personal Cornerstone Nanny Pack — a full record of everything we've verified, so you have complete confidence in the person caring for your children.

How It Works

Straightforward, personal, and swift

Most families are matched within two weeks. We stay with you through every step — from first conversation to settled-in nanny.

01

Tell us about your family

A relaxed conversation — by WhatsApp or phone — to understand your needs, your schedule, and what trust looks like for your household.

02

We search & screen

We identify the right candidates from our trained network — each one vetted, referenced, first-aid certified, and Cornerstone prepared.

03

Meet your shortlist

We present two or three well-matched candidates and support you through the interview process so you feel confident in your choice.

04

Your nanny starts — we stay close

We remain available through the settling-in period and back every placement with a 14-day replacement guarantee.

Why Cornerstone

Held to a higher standard

Trust is non-negotiable

Every nanny is DBS checked, personally interviewed, reference verified, and first-aid certified before joining our network. We hold ourselves to a standard we'd apply in our own homes.

Trained, not just placed

Our in-house training programme means every Cornerstone nanny understands what professional childcare truly looks like — before they step through your door.

Matched, not just assigned

We get to know your family before we recommend anyone. Personality, values, and household fit matter as much to us as qualifications and experience.

14-day peace of mind

If something isn't right within the first two weeks, we'll find a replacement at no additional charge. We stand behind every placement we make.

Handled with care

Every enquiry and placement is managed with complete professionalism. Your family's privacy is always respected — without exception.

We don't disappear

One consultant, from first conversation to a settled, happy placement — and available long after. We're here for the long term, just like the nannies we place.
