About

Meet Macy Zidek

Macy Zidek founded HoustoNanny in January 2025 after years of hands-on childcare work. Her background in psychology shapes how she approaches every match: a placement works when the caregiver fits the family — temperament, experience, schedule, and values — not just the open hours on a calendar.

Macy personally runs every search. She gets to know each family on a consultation call, screens every candidate through criminal background checks, reference verification, and certification review, and coordinates interviews and the trial period. Families also get practical guidance most agencies skip: she walks both sides through structuring a clear, fair work agreement and shares a contract template families can use, so expectations are written down before day one.

The relationship doesn’t end at placement. Macy stays involved through the trial period and backs every placement with a 90-day free replacement guarantee.

How we match families and nannies

HoustoNanny exists to make finding trusted childcare in Houston simpler and safer. Every family is different, so we match on the things that matter — temperament, experience, schedule, and values — not just availability. The work follows a seven-step process from consultation call to placement, with transparent flat fees and a trial period before anything is final.

That same standard applies whether you need a full-time nanny, overnight newborn care, an occasional babysitter, or a mother's helper.
