Dr. Ginny Schwager

My understanding of family dynamics comes from direct experience in homes and nurseries, working with families at every level of complexity. While pursuing my doctorate in Counseling Psychology, I discovered how combining psychological insight with practical management creates exceptional results: households that run smoothly while nurturing meaningful family connections.

My experience spans from supporting new parents to managing complex household operations with multiple departments. As a developmental specialist for children with autism and a house manager overseeing diverse teams, I've learned to create systems that adapt to each family's unique needs while delivering consistent results.

Most recently, I served as Lead Infant Nanny for a prominent family while managing operations across several properties. This role crystallized my approach: combining deep understanding of child development with precise organizational systems to create exceptional family environments.
