Towson based, Black woman owned nanny and domestic placement agency earns top recognition from The Maryland Small Business Examiner for its rigorous screening, customized matching, and CEO Takita Tunstall’s two decades of childcare advocacy
TOWSON, MD. The Fairy GoddessMother Nannies and Domestic Agency, the Towson based childcare placement agency known across the Baltimore region for its careful screening, family centered matching, and deep advocacy for both families and domestic workers, has been named the Best Nanny Agency in Maryland for 2026 by The Maryland Small Business Examiner as part of its annual Best of Maryland Small Business Awards program.
The recognition celebrates a small business that sits at a powerful intersection: a Black owned, woman owned agency built by an industry insider who has spent more than two decades advocating for the children, parents, and care providers her business now serves. The agency offers nanny placement, doula services, and a wide range of family support roles to clients across Baltimore County and Baltimore City.
A Different Kind of Nanny Agency
What sets The Fairy GoddessMother Nannies and Domestic Agency apart is the full service breadth of its placement options. Beyond traditional nanny placement, the agency provides date night sitters, after school and weekend care, overnight caregivers, summer care, companion care, doula services, and postpartum doulas. For Maryland families navigating the constant juggle of work, parenting, and family responsibilities, the agency offers a single trusted source for the kind of personalized care that can be difficult to find elsewhere.
The agency’s mission is straightforward: to provide the best care access for every family and to lessen the burden of constant juggling between work and taking care of loved ones. Its placement process is built around rigorous screening and customized matching, with the agency drawing on years of collective experience in childcare, assisting, and birthwork to learn what families are searching for and pair them with the right care provider for their needs.
Meet Takita Tunstall, the CEO Behind the Agency
The heart of The Fairy GoddessMother Nannies and Domestic Agency is its founder and CEO, Takita Tunstall, a dedicated childcare expert with an impressive career spanning more than two decades in the field of childcare, including five years as a Career Nanny.
Takita’s commitment to her industry extends well beyond her own agency. She serves as a Board Member of the International Nanny Association (INA), where she advocates tirelessly for the rights and recognition of domestic workers, promotes cultural integration and acceptance, and amplifies the voices of Nanny Moms, all while ensuring the welfare of the children they care for. It is a level of national involvement that few agency owners can match.
Her path to founding the agency was shaped by a lifetime of caregiving. Takita grew up as the eldest of six siblings, an upbringing that instilled in her a profound sense of responsibility and a deep love of children. Her career has taken her through the Baltimore City Public School Systems as a teacher, through work in a children’s hospital, and into the study of child development and behavioral management, particularly in the area of Autism.
Beyond her professional work, Takita is a biological mother of two, a stepmother to one, and a host mom to foreign exchange students each year. She is also currently on the path to becoming a foster mother, an extension of the same nurturing spirit that drives every placement her agency makes.
A Mission Rooted in Service to Families and Care Providers
The Fairy GoddessMother Nannies and Domestic Agency is built on three values that show up clearly in everything the agency does. The mission is to provide the best care access for every family. The vision is to be the best care and assistance provider for every family they serve, while also giving qualified care providers a chance to start their nanny career with unbeatable pay rates and benefits. And the values center on work ethics, honesty, dependability, and the maintenance of a non discriminant work environment for every care provider on the team.
For Baltimore area families, that combination of professional rigor, advocacy, and human warmth is exactly what makes the agency stand out.
Recognition Earned Through Advocacy and Service
“The Fairy GoddessMother Nannies and Domestic Agency represents exactly what this award was created to recognize,” said a spokesperson for The Maryland Small Business Examiner. “A small, mission driven agency built by a founder who has spent her entire career advocating for the children, families, and domestic workers she now serves. Takita Tunstall has earned national leadership recognition through the International Nanny Association and built a Maryland agency that families across Baltimore County and Baltimore City genuinely trust. That is what excellence looks like, and she has earned every bit of this recognition.”
The Fairy GoddessMother Nannies and Domestic Agency was selected for the 2026 Best of Maryland Small Business Award in recognition of exceptional nanny and domestic placement services, outstanding industry advocacy, and commitment to Maryland’s families.
