The Truth About Hiring
Finding someone to work inside your home is a big deal.
You’re not just filling a role — you’re inviting someone into your personal space.
​
And because it matters so much,
getting it wrong is costly.
​Whether you’re hiring a part-time household manager, full-time family assistant, nanny, or something in between, The INJOY Method walks you through the
exact process I’ve used for years to help families land professional hires
who deliver on their expectations.
The Hiring Gap
Let’s be honest — if you’re investing in hiring,
your expectations are high. Mine would be too.
​
You want someone reliable, proactive, and long-term.
Someone who takes ownership without constant direction.
​
And yet… that’s not always what shows up.
​
Sometimes the hire looks great on paper
but needs constant direction.
Sometimes they don’t last.
​
That gap isn’t random.
It starts with how the role is built.
Where Most
Searches Go Wrong
Most searches start with action.
​
You post the role, scroll through candidates, schedule interviews.
It feels like you're getting somewhere.
​
But access to candidates isn’t the same as attracting the right one.
​
When a role isn’t structured to meet professional standards,
strong candidates scroll past it —
and the ones who apply require more management than relief.
​
The shift toward landing your dream hire
happens before you ever post.
​
When roles are structured professionally,
the kind of candidate who responds naturally elevates.
Inside You’ll Learn How to:
-
Define the right role by clarifying your household needs, how you want to feel with the right person in place, and the non-negotiables your ideal candidate must have
-
Identify and meet professional-level qualifiers that attract long-term, career-minded support
-
Write a job description that filters in the right people — and filters out the rest
-
Search strategically so you stop wasting time on unqualified leads
-
Interview with clarity and spot true reliability
-
Structure pay, expectations, and communication so outcomes match what you’re hoping for
-
Align responsibilities with compensation to create a win-win partnership
-
Set your new hire up for success from day one & beyond
When the role is structured correctly,
professional candidates are drawn to it —
and apply.
Built With Both The Home
and The Hire in Mind
The INJOY Method was shaped by years working inside homes and
nearly a decade recruiting household staff.
It balances two things:
The high standards families want —
and the structure professional hires need in order to thrive.
When both sides are set up well,
the partnership lasts.
What Changes When You Hire the INJOY Way
You stop wasting time and money on hires that don’t last.
You stop lowering your expectations just to “make it work.”
You stop wondering why it feels like more work than it should.
Instead, you gain clarity.
You understand how professional household roles should be built and better yet — how it will feel with a professional in place.
​
When expectations are clearly defined,
outcomes follow.
​
This isn’t about hoping it all works out.
​
It’s about structuring your role to meet professional standards — so it naturally aligns with the kind of hire you’re hoping for,
and creates support that lasts.
Life With The Right Hire in Place
Imagine your home runs smoothly.
Tasks are handled without reminders.
The laundry is done correctly, the kids are cared for with intention, and dinner might even be prepped and waiting for you to enjoy.
When you understand how to structure your role to attract candidates who can deliver on your expectations,
everything changes.
You’re no longer the only one holding it all together —
instead, you have household support you can count on.
And that changes everything.
A Note About Care.com
Care.com can be a helpful place to access a large pool of candidates.
​
But large pools often include a mix of casual and professional applicants —
and on paper, they can look very similar.
​​​
If your goal is to hire once and hire right, clarity matters.
​
The INJOY Method gives you a new lens to evaluate candidates through.
​
Instead of hoping someone feels like the right fit,
you’ll walk into every interview knowing what professional standards look like — and how to assess them.
​
That’s the INJOY difference.
