5 Things Nanny Agencies Want Parents to Know

Choosing a nanny is one of the most important decisions a parent can make. While searching on your own may seem like a quick solution, it often leads to hidden risks and overwhelming hours of vetting. When you partner with a trusted agency, you get access to thoroughly vetted, trained, and background-checked professionals who have the experience and qualifications your family deserves. Agencies offer personalized support, saving you time, reducing stress, and ensuring that only the best matches are considered.

• We Do Rigorous Screening
  We only accept 3-4% of applicants into our pool of candidates. Every nanny a family meets through our agency goes through a thorough screening process, including an interview, background checks, reference verification, and knowledge, safety, and personality assessments. We ensure that only the most qualified candidates with a solid work history are presented to you for hiring consideration.
• We Prioritize Minimizing Risk
  Loving children and loving caring for children are two different things. We represent candidates who have a track record of providing high-quality child care, who have recent, childcare work experience, who understand the role and responsibilities of a nanny, and who have a history of being reliable, dependable and invested in their work.
• Finding the Right Fit Takes Time and Expertise
  The right nanny for your neighbor may not be the right nanny for you. Matching families with nannies isn’t just about availability; it’s about finding someone whose values, personality, and approach align with your family’s needs. We take the time to ensure the right fit and do the objective screening so that you can focus on if a nanny is the right match.
• We Provide Ongoing Support
  We educate both nannies and families on the importance of having a written work agreement, following industry standards, offering fair and legal pay and establishing and maintaining a professional working relationship. Our work doesn’t stop after placement. Agencies are here to support you and your nanny throughout the employment relationship, offering resources and guidance as needs change over time.
• We Understand the Emotional Side of This Decision
  Choosing someone to care for your child is deeply personal. We ensure all candidates that you meet are viable for your role and provide as much information as possible so parents can make an educated and informed hiring decision. We’re here to make the process smoother, taking on the logistical and practical steps so that you can feel confident and at ease in your decision. You can focus on how the candidate fits in your family, as we’ve already done the rest.
