Nanny Care In-Home Placement Services
The services listed below are not licensed child
care providers, nor are the nannies that they place. Nannies do not need
a license since they provide care in your home. Child Care Resources does
not endorse any of these services or their nannies. We recommend that you
check the references of the services.
Placement services shorten the selection process
for parents by doing the actual search, screening applicants, background
checks, and reference checks. These services generally expect placement
to take from one week to three months to find a nanny, with the usual time
being one to four weeks.
Some agencies maintain lists of families wanting
a nanny share situation. You will be charged an initial fee of from $500
to first month’s salary. Placement is usually guaranteed up to three months.
If a nanny does not work out within that period some placement services
will find a replacement free of charge. All placement services operate similarly.
However, there will be variations in their practices and procedures. Because
the number of in-home placement services has grown rapidly in the past few
years, be sure to talk to several services before deciding which one to
use, and screen them carefully. Compare the minimum qualifications each
service requires of their candidates. They will differ.
