February 8, 2008, Newsletter Issue #101: Hiring a Nanny

Tip of the Week


Using a nanny placement service to hire a nanny will eliminate some of the preliminary work that an employing family may have to go through. Nanny services will do the initial screening process, conduct background checks, and complete the initial interview. Once an employing family contacts a nanny service, it is up to the family to begin searching through the service's database, seeking desirable candidates for the job. Families will also need to contact the nanny, usually by phone or e-mail, and set up an interview time. It is a good idea to draw up an interview list before the actual interview, and it is generally suggested to plan on conducting a second interview before making a permanent decision. Nanny services should support both the family and the nanny throughout the entire process. Although nannies can typically register with a nanny service for free, families usually must pay a fee. Be sure you know what services and help you will be receiving before paying a nanny placement service.
