The Proxy Standard: Our Vetting Process

Why Our Vetting is Better Than Google Reviews

You deserve more than stars and strangers' opinions. We personally test, use, and scrutinize every service before recommending it—so you don’t have to.

We Pay, They Don't

No paid placements. No backdoor deals. We pay full price for every service we test—just like you would—to ensure our experience reflects yours.

We Call Before We Book

If a company won’t talk to us before we’re a client, that’s a red flag. We evaluate responsiveness, tone, and willingness to answer questions from the very first call.

We Use Services in Our Own Homes

From nannies to cleaners, we invite providers into our personal lives to assess comfort, safety, and professionalism—especially around our kids.

We Ask the Hard Questions

Can they customize? Are they upfront about limitations? Honest, direct feedback builds trust—and we won’t recommend a service that dodges the truth.

We Test How They Handle Problems

Great services aren't always perfect—they're accountable. We see how providers react under pressure and only keep those who respond quickly and respectfully when something goes wrong.

Built on Trust, Not Transactions

At Proxy, no one pays to be featured. We never take shortcuts or accept kickbacks—because your time is too valuable for bias.

Think of us as your thinking partner for home life. We’ve already vetted cleaning crews that show up, mobile beauty pros who respect your schedule, virtual assistants who anticipate needs, and meal prep services that keep you out of the kitchen.
