Summer Nanny Hiring Process

1. Complete the Family Application and Family Agreement forms. These forms are designed to help the agency know more about your family and needs. These forms will need to be completed before the agency can proceed with recruiting your nanny.
   
2. Initial Meeting with Nanny Works. At this meeting we will address your questions and clarify information on forms and job description you have completed.
   
3. Interviewing candidates. The agency will share information about the family and the job to prospective nannies and likewise will share information about prospective nannies with families. We will never give names of our families or nannies before the interview is set up. If there is a mutual interest, the agency will arrange interviews between nannies and families. Most interviews take place in the family's home at a time that is mutually agreeable.
   
4. Placement of a nanny. After the family has made an offer to the nanny and the nanny has accepted, the family, nanny and agency representative have one final meeting to ensure that all aspects of the job description/offer are clear and acceptable to both the nanny and family. At that time, the remainder of the placement fee is paid to the agency.

Agency Fees

Down payment is due at the signing of the agreement. The balance of the placement fee is paid after a summer nanny has been hired by the family and covers a period of 3 months. We will do our best to send the same nanny but cannot guarantee the same nanny as our nannies work for many families.

THE PLACEMENT FEE IS NON-REFUNDABLE. If necessary, we will replace the nanny one time during the summer at no extra cost to you.
