Meet the Team
LINDSAY ASPELL THOMASON, the owner and founder of The Nanny League, offers 20 years of proven expertise. From babysitter and mentor in her hometown outside of Philadelphia (Haddonfield, NJ), to studying Child Development & Psychology in college, childcare has long been an integral theme in her life. Her path to creating The Nanny League began after graduating Cum Laude from Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School with a degree in Television, Radio & Film and Psychology. She started her career in entertainment as a Page at NBC Universal Burbank. She then went on to work directly within the company building relationships with filmmakers, relaying interview requests, coordinating travel, and handling talent. She provided a diverse range of public relations and marketing consultancy services for the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, Humanitas and Special Events. She acted as a show publicist, and assisted VP and Press Managers with administrative and operational responsibilities. Although her time working in the television and film industry was extraordinary, Lindsay decided to find her way back to her first love – working with children. Hired as a live-in nanny for an affluent family in the Holmby Hills community, Lindsay took on a variety of roles: caregiver, teacher, chauffeur, personal shopper, party planner, photographer, assistant, and friend. It was here that she saw first hand the need for quality childcare. These mothers and fathers were bright, highly competent and successful, yet were unable to find the “right” nanny for their family. Having read and talked extensively to many successful people, she learned what a huge impact a particular nanny had on them. Oftentimes, this was the person they spent most of their day-to-day lives with and were dependent upon to make each day function smoothly. It made sense to Lindsay that she, too, would want only the very best person involved with her child – someone well educated, competent, creative, as well as loving and kind.
Lindsay enrolled at UCLA’s Extension Business Program with her 'big idea' to open a nanny service unlike any others currently available. It would be highly selective in its choice of nannies - insisting on a college education, dedication and love of children, as well as the many intangible characteristics that make up a quality person. Wanting to meld her collegiate background with her experience and love for children, The Nanny League was born in late 2010.
Since then, Lindsay has built a database of thousands of professional, college-educated nannies and has matched hundreds of nannies with families throughout the United States. Lindsay was the recipient of the Los Angeles Executive Leadership Award in 2015. The Nanny League received the Los Angeles Best Business Award in the childcare industry for 2013, 2014 and 2015; the California Business Award 2016; and has been featured in various press including VoyageLA, New York Magazine, US Weekly, My Fox LA, and Celebrity Baby Scoop. She also serves as the Educational Ambassador for Belly Bandit; and has developed strong relationships with various national and local brands such as mom.com, Fashion Mamas, and more. Lindsay was nominated for LA Business Journal's 2017 Women's Summit CEO of the Year and for an "Austin Under 40" Award in 2021. Most recently, The Nanny League was selected as the Childcare Agency Winner for 2022 Best of Beverly Hills Awards.
The Nanny League prides itself on giving back to the community and philanthropic work. In 2011, The Nanny League partnered with the non-profit, Stop the Silence®. From organizing fundraisers to hosting events such as, “Mommy’s Night Out,” the agency has helped raise thousands of dollars for this vital cause. Lindsay now serves as an Associate for Stop the Silence® and has most recently played an integral part in the development of an on-line training program to educate nannies about child sexual abuse prevention and mitigation. The Nanny League is the first-ever nanny agency to mandate this training for its members.
Lindsay currently resides outside of Houston, in The Woodlands, TX with her husband Eric, their twins Bette & Sarge, and dog Evvie. She is dedicated to continuing her nationwide expansion as one of the best nanny matchmaker agencies in the US.

HOMEPAY, PROVIDED BY BREEDLOVE is the nation’s leading payroll and tax firm for household employers. Families that hire a nanny, senior caregiver, or other domestic worker use HomePay’s comprehensive service to ensure their employee is paid accurately and on time each pay period. The company also prepares and files federal and state tax returns for each client and handles the year-end tax requirements, including preparing a W-2 for the employee.
The company was founded in 1992 by Bill and Stephanie Breedlove after they experienced difficulty figuring out how to pay their household employee legally. Understanding there was a nationwide need to help families navigate the niche area of household employer payroll and taxes, they emphasized client service as a key component to the company’s structure. Today this remains a staple of HomePay as a group of tax consultants is available to answer any question a client has related to their account. Clients are also given their own online account so they can make changes to payroll, modify personal information, view paystubs for past pay periods, access tax returns and more. When a family hires HomePay, they not only free up about 55 hours of work they would have to do themselves, but they also ensure their employee gets the benefits he or she deserves. This includes access to unemployment benefits if they are ever let go due to no fault of their own, credit with the Social Security Administration toward retirement and a traceable employment history which increases the chances the employee with qualify for a loan.
Additionally, the family will have access to tax breaks that can offset the majority, if not all of, their employer taxes. And HomePay is happy to walk anyone through these processes. Families are welcome to call for a free, no-hassle consultation. They’re here to help families and provide a solution that keeps them focused on the needs of their loved ones instead of figuring out how to be a tax expert.
