We created The Joyful Nanny Consulting so nannies and families can manage their relationships with confidence and clarity.
About the Company
When you’re managing the demands of a high-powered business, living the life of a professional sports family, or are the nanny helping manage those families' children and schedules every decision matters - and finding the right fit in that working relationship is no exception. You can’t afford to get it wrong, but sifting through candidates or figuring out if you can handle the client’s unique lifestyle feels like yet another full-time job.
That’s where we come in.
At The Joyful Nanny, we understand that this is about more than just someone to watch the kids. You need a professional working relationship that can flow and adapt to constant change, last minute travel, and the unspoken expectations that come with it all. When your family operates at a different level, not just any nanny will do. And when you are a nanny with experience and expertise, not all family environments are conducive to your growth in the industry.
For nannies, we are here to help you rise to the challenge. We can show you what it takes to meet and exceed the expectations of these fast-paced households - from mastering the art of discretion to understanding the nuances of these fast paced environments - we can prepare you for everything that’s expected and everything that isn’t. You will not only be ready for the role, but be the best employee they’ve ever had.
We can help you cut through the fluff saving everyone time, energy, and frustration. Excellence is essential. We will handle the hard part so you can focus on the life you’re building.
About the Founder
Hi! I’m Joy!
A Fort Worth native and proud TCU graduate with a bachelor's degree in communications and a double minor in sociology and psychology of leadership. My career began where many do—hands-on in the field—working as a nanny, family assistant, and household manager in private households for over a decade. I was even asked to move 1,000 miles away with one family from Dallas to Chicago for one year, which I happily did before returning back to Texas.
In my mid-20s, I channeled my passion for childcare and problem-solving into launching QuickSit, a mobile app that connected busy families to reliable college babysitters. The business took off, and I successfully exited the company—an achievement I’m proud of, though the app is no longer active today. This experience taught me firsthand what it means to identify needs and deliver value, no matter how high the stakes.
I’ve worked alongside professional athletes and ultra-high-net-worth families, navigating the demanding schedules, complex expectations, and fast-paced lifestyle that come with the territory. I know what it takes to thrive in these environments, and I bring that same level of dedication and professionalism to every consultation. I’m here to take the guesswork out of your hiring process—whether it’s finding the perfect nanny or preparing you for success in your next high-profile role.
