About

Why We Started

Windsor House Nannies was founded by two nannies, both of whom have worked for many families and facilities caring for and educating a large number of children. Our greatest love and achievements are the children we have cared for. As such, we believe all children should have the best care with a nurturing and encouraging environment that only trained professionals can provide. Recently, there has been an influx of individuals claiming to be child care professionals with little to no experience. As nannies ourselves, we first and foremost understand that the job is a special one, a position that requires dedication, experience, training and a commitment to career. We see that at times being a nanny is dismissed as being a stop gap job - a position that anyone who likes kids can undertake. However, being a nanny is much more to us. We want to be able to match trained child care professionals with families so that your children can get the best care available.

Rebecca Pearcy, Owner and CEO 

Rebecca was awarded her 5-year service pin by the International Nanny Association in 2020

She has been nominated twice for the Austin Under 40 Awards and once for the Profiles in Power Awards.

Originally from England, Rebecca moved to America over 13 years ago and cannot imagine returning because she loves Texas too much. She has over 16 years of experience working with children, from being a nanny and babysitter to working as a childcare professional in a military childcare facility and starting a children's performance troop. She acted as Director of Agencies for the US Nanny Association, volunteering her time to elevate the nanny profession. She has been professionally trained in various techniques and is a big advocate of positive guidance and conscious discipline. She believes in clear, calm, and consistent communication in a loving environment where fun and safety remain at the forefront of the growth and education of a child. Let's go fly a kite!

Sara Barrera, Placement Specialist

 

Sara has focused her career on helping others. Before joining Windsor House Nannies in 2020, she worked for an animal hospital and a veteran-owned company that provided relief and holistic care to other veterans and first responders. Sara says the best part of her job "is the opportunity to work with some of the most amazing women I have met. The level of care and professionalism displayed every day gives me something to aim for. I love being a part of this family as well as getting the chance to provide a service to both families and nannies which has a positive impact on the lives of children." Sara's favorite thing to do in her spare time is to enjoy nature with her children. "Family provides a solid foundation, and I am so grateful for mine."

Tessa Miller, Recruitment Coordinator

 

While Tessa worked towards her Bachelor's in Early Childhood Education, she was a nanny.  After her schooling, she became a 3rd-grade teacher and is overjoyed to still serve the community, helping nannies and families find the perfect match to help with the most important job: raising children. “Every family and every child is unique.  Truly getting to know our families and nannies is crucial to what we do”. One of her favorite things about Windsor is working with a team of highly intelligent, motivated, and supportive women. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her husband, dog, friends, and family, who have always been the greatest support. She loves to spend time outside hiking, paddleboarding, practicing yoga, and riding her bike.

Quyen Nguyen, Data and Technical Support Analysis

 

Quyen taught Robotics & Computer Science at Coding with Kids for several years, supervising 150+ instructors and 16,000+ students. In her current role, she leverages that people management experience and applies it to the numerous families and caregivers, providing positive experiences with dedicated support and professionalism. She is equally passionate about her WHN colleagues: “Since starting with WHN, I've had the opportunity to work with the most caring, intelligent, and motivating team. The dedication everyone strives to achieve is admirable and has taught me the significance of delivering quality service.” Given her role supporting families, it's no surprise that Quyen's most important people are her parents:  “We are refugees from Vietnam and moved to America in 2001. My parents left their extended family to pursue the American Dream.” But it's not all work - she appreciates being in nature and giving back to her community by volunteering at hospitals in her spare time.

Lexi Mangan, Placement Assistant

 

After graduating from Elon University in 2020 with a degree in Human Service Studies, Lexi began working at The SAFE Alliance as an advocate for survivors of domestic violence. Shortly after, she also worked part-time for our sister company, Windsor House Care. She says, “It has been life-changing to work alongside intelligent, fun, and inspiring women who treat me as an equal and inspire me to be my best professional self.” She believes that the role of the nanny is extremely important as they help shape the minds of the future and support the family unit. In her spare time, she reads a LOT of books, bakes, and goes on many outdoor adventures with her dog and partner. Her dog may just be her favorite ‘person’!
