Finding A Nanny Agency
The purpose of a nanny agency is to recruit nannies and families and match one to the other. Usually it is the families that will pay a small fee for a listing, while for nannies the service is free. In our research we have found that it does not say much about the quality of a nanny agency whether it is new or old or whether the company is big or small. A good online Nanny Agency does not need a big staff to do an excellent job.
The number of listings on the other hand is an indicator of a good agency. Not only is it a sign that the agency has a good reputation, but it also gives you more candidates to choose from.
But what are the advantages of using Nanny Agencies?
First of all they are a big time saver for both families and nannies because of their experience and the number of choices.
Second, you have someone to turn to for help on subjects like contracts or conflict. A good nanny agency will treat both parties as equals and offers impartial counseling.
These are also some of the criteria we used when reviewing nanny agencies.
- Are nannies and families treated as equals?
- Does the agency offer a solid contract?
- Do they offer counseling?
- How high are the fees?
- How many listings do they have?
- Is the website user friendly / easy to navigate?
- How is the response time when contacting support?
