Has every Certified Nanny been screened?
Absolutely! We understand that finding someone you can trust to watch your little ones is a lot easier said than done, especially when you aren’t sure if the information they provided is accurate. Because of this, we require every candidate to undergo an extensive background check. This helps us to ensure that the information contained in an applicant’s paperwork is accurate. Our 20-step evaluation and screening process covers a broad spectrum of subject matter to give you the peace of mind you need, to help with the decision of which Certified Nanny to hire.

Will you help me through the scheduling and interviewing process?
Yes, of course! In fact, not only do we help arrange the interview(s) between you and the potential candidate(s), we will even provide you with a list of questions that you may not have thought to ask the candidate(s)!

Do you help with job offers and employment agreements?
Yes we do. After you have chosen which Certified Nanny you’d like to hire, you will talk to your assigned CNoA agent about extending the job offer to the candidate. During this time you will also discuss the CNs salary and the nanny’s responsibilities (if required). Your CNoA agent will then put together a “Nanny/Employee Agreement” for you and your CN.
