  • Do you provide part-time placements?
    We do provide part-time nanny placements, but we have a minimum guaranteed hours per week requirement for these positions. This requirement is based on our preference for working with career nannies and professional childcare providers who typically seek full-time or at least 30-hour-per-week positions. Our experience has shown that nannies offered 30 hours per week or more tend to stay with families for the long term, demonstrating greater reliability, professionalism, and consistency.
  • How much is the placement fee?
    Our fee structure consists of just two components: the search initiation fee and the final placement fee. We require a $300 Search Initiation Fee to start the search and the final placement fee varies based on the kind of nanny placement you need. We do not require a placement fee unless you have successfully hired a nanny through our agency. Typically, the placement fee is a percentage of the nanny's annual gross salary (based on 52 weeks) pay or a set minimum fee and different types of placements have different percentages and flat rate minimums.
