When you hire a household professional—a nanny, housekeeper, estate manager, or family assistant—you’re not just hiring help; you’re welcoming a trusted member of your household team. At Town + Country Resources, we know that when your staff feels supported, they show up with focus, reliability, and long-term commitment.
That’s why supporting your household staff’s health and financial wellness isn’t just a generous gesture—it’s a strategic investment in the stability and harmony of your home.
Why Healthcare Support Matters
Even if you’re not in a position to provide employer-sponsored health insurance, there are meaningful ways to help your household staff access quality healthcare.
Providing a monthly healthcare stipend allows employees to afford their own individual plans—reducing stress, absenteeism, and turnover. Healthy employees are more present, less likely to experience burnout, and better able to support your family with energy and care.
When you make healthcare part of your household employment plan, you send a clear message: you value the people who make your household run smoothly.
