Dear Client Family,
Thank you for your interest in HOMETOWN NANNIES+, LLC, (hereafter
referred to as HTN+). We are a 20 year-old full-service domestic
placement agency. HTN was founded in 1994 by Jayne Ehrlich, a mother
and former screenwriter with a Master's Degree in counseling. She
also founded Malibu Mamas, inc., a Los Angeles based agency, during
the Writer's Guild strike, in 1988 (HTN+ was originally a division
of Malibu Mamas). Ms.Ehrlich has more than 21 years of domestic
placement experience. She and her caring and well-informed staff
have placed thousands of domestic employees in entertainment industry,
corporate, professional, creative and other family households.
Malibu Mamas, inc. was listed as the "Best USA Agency" by "W" Magazine
in 1998. It was mentioned or written about in "Newsweek," "Town
& Country," "In Style," "L.A. Magazine," etc. and was seen
on the "Leeza Show" twice. MMA inc. inspired many national and local
accolades. Hometown Nannies+, (seen in the "Westport News," and
elsewhere) was originally a division of, and maintains, the same
impeccably high standards as did MMA inc.

Assoc. for the Education of Young Children.)
