Care You Can Feel Confident In

Heading: Finding the Right Care Starts With the Right People

At Nanny and You, we understand that inviting someone into your home to care for your children requires trust. That's why we take a thoughtful and intentional approach to getting to know every nanny before introducing them to families. Our screening process is designed to evaluate experience, qualifications, professionalism, and personality so we can make meaningful connections between caregivers and families.

Our Vetting Process

01. Application & Initial Review

Every prospective nanny begins with an application where we learn about their childcare experience, professional background, availability, qualifications, and the types of positions they are seeking. We review each application to determine whether the candidate aligns with our agency's placement standards.

02. Experience & Qualifications

We take the time to understand each candidate's childcare background, including the ages of children they have worked with, previous responsibilities, relevant education, certifications, and specialized experience. We want to understand not only where a nanny has worked, but what they have learned through those experiences.

03. Personal Interview

We conduct interviews to get to know each candidate beyond their resume. We discuss their childcare philosophy, communication style, reliability, expectations, and approach to working with families. Our goal is to understand who they are as caregivers and what type of family environment would be the best fit.

04. Professional Reference Checks

We contact previous employers and professional references to learn more about a candidate's work history, dependability, communication, strengths, and overall experience working with children. References help us gain a better understanding of the candidate's professional experience.

05. Background Screening

We require appropriate background screening as part of our vetting process. This may include criminal background checks and other relevant screening, as applicable to the position and in accordance with applicable laws and requirements.

06. Personalized Family Matching

Once a candidate has completed our screening process, we consider their experience, personality, availability, and childcare approach when identifying potential family matches. We look beyond qualifications alone because we believe the best placements happen when both the nanny and family feel comfortable and aligned.
