If you would like us to begin a nanny search for your family, we will need a
full description of your family's needs. You will need to fill out our Family
Application and Agreement. As soon as we receive your family application
and a retainer of $250, we will begin sending over qualified candidates. We listen
closely to your needs and concerns. We start the process of finding the perfect
match. The average search takes from 1 to 6 weeks. We present you with the most
suitable candidates. On average we are able to refer 3 or 4 candidates. We offer
quality, not quantity. We work closely with you and we offer support and assistance
throughout the interview. We will help you negotiate employment terms, salary,
starting date, daily duties and expectations, days off, responsibilities, vacations
and benefits. We make the right placement the first time. Our placement guarantee
assures that if you are not completely satisfied with your nanny within the first
six months, we will replace the employee at absolutely no additional charge to
you.
We prefer for you to conduct the interviews in your home, so that the nanny can
see her work environment. With each nanny who is interested, we will go over
your job description with them, and then have them call you for a phone interview.
From there, you will be responsible for setting up the time and date for the
in-person interview. It will go much faster this way. Before meeting each nanny
we will provide to you a transcript of her references, as well as a short description
of who she is and why she is interested in your position. After you have met
a nanny that you would like to hire, we like for you to have the nanny work for
a "trial” before you pay our fee. This helps make you feel more secure
that you made the right choice. All criminal background checks are done once
the family notifies us that they have made a job offer to the nanny. After we
have confirmed that the nanny will be working for you, we will charge you the
placement fee. As soon as we have received payment, we will start all the background
checks and send the nanny to update her CPR and First Aid, as well as complete
the drug screening. Our placement fee must be paid in full prior to the
employee's start date. The placement fee does not include the retainer.
