Conduct interviews-Interviews are conducted to build profiles on the employing families and the nannies. Advertise and recruit-It is the responsibility of the nanny service to advertise and recruit to expand their available nanny database. Screen nanny candidates-This may involve interviews, background checks, and reference checks as well. Referrals-Nanny services should make the initial referral of a nanny to an employing family after the interviews and background checks have been made. Feedback-A nanny service will usually want feedback from the family regarding the first interview session with the nanny. Collect fee-The money that will be charged for the completion of a match is usually collected after the nanny begins the job. Check-ups-A nanny service should check back periodically with both the family and the nanny in regards to the working relationship.
