FAQ

Questions families ask us most

A little clarity goes a long way. If your question isn't here, just ask — we're happy to walk you through anything.

How does the placement process work?

You start with a short inquiry form, then we schedule a consultation call to shape the role — hours, responsibilities, and compensation. From there we send a curated short list of vetted nannies, coordinate interviews and a paid trial day, and help you finalize the offer.

How long does it usually take to find a nanny?

Most families meet their first candidates within two weeks and complete a placement in three to five weeks. Highly specialized roles — newborn specialists, bilingual caregivers, or travel-heavy positions — can take a little longer.

How do you screen and vet caregivers?

Every nanny goes through our seven-point process: in-depth interview, verified work history, a minimum of two reference calls, national and county background checks, driving record review, current CPR and First Aid certification, and identity verification.

What do your services cost?

Placement fees vary based on the level of care and your family's needs, so we quote each search individually after the consultation call. Reach out through our contact form for a personalized quote — there's no cost to inquire.

Do you offer any guarantee?

Yes. If a permanent placement doesn't work out within the first 90 days, we'll conduct a replacement search at no additional placement fee, subject to the terms in your agreement.

Do you help with payroll, taxes, and offer letters?

We provide offer-letter templates, fair-pay guidance for our area, and referrals to trusted household payroll providers so your nanny is paid legally and on time.

Can you place temporary, backup, or short-notice care?

Absolutely. We keep a bench of caregivers available for parental leave, summer coverage, travel, and last-minute gaps between placements — vetted to the same standard as permanent hires.

Is there a cost for nannies to apply?

Never. Applying and being represented is always free for caregivers. We advocate for fair pay, clear expectations, and families who value your work.
