About Us
We help future-minded families find exceptional private teachers.
TeacherCare supports some of the world’s most visionary families. Why do these families partner with us?
Purposeful Education. Personal Learning Partnerships. Whole-Child Growth.
Since 1998, TeacherCare® has redefined what it means to support a child at home. We are not a nanny agency. We are not a tutoring service. We are a trusted placement partner for families who believe education should be deeply personal, developmentally informed, and future-ready.
Our educators are more than caregivers or instructors. They are vision-aligned partners who support your child’s growth academically, emotionally, and creatively—in the space where learning matters most: home.
A Higher Standard of Matching
Founded by Terri Brax, a mother and education advocate, TeacherCare was born from a simple truth: children deserve more than supervision. They deserve someone who sees their potential and helps them become who they’re meant to be. That truth guides everything we do—from the way we vet educators, to the personalized Family Learning Plans we develop for every family we serve.
Over the years, TeacherCare has supported thousands of families across the country—from professors and executives to public figures and entrepreneurs. We specialize in helping visionary parents find private teachers and educator-nannies for:
- Full-time learning at home
- Gifted & neurodivergent children
- Infancy through early adolescence
- Travel, relocation, and nontraditional schedules
- Whole-child development from the ground up

The World Can Be Your Child’s Classroom
