Nanny Care In-Home Placement Services

The services listed below are not licensed child care providers, nor are the nannies that they place. Nannies do not need a license since they provide care in your home. Child Care Resources does not endorse any of these services or their nannies. We recommend that you check the references of the services.

Placement services shorten the selection process for parents by doing the actual search, screening applicants, background checks, and reference checks. These services generally expect placement to take from one week to three months to find a nanny, with the usual time being one to four weeks.

Some agencies maintain lists of families wanting a nanny share situation. You will be charged an initial fee of from $500 to first month’s salary. Placement is usually guaranteed up to three months. If a nanny does not work out within that period some placement services will find a replacement free of charge. All placement services operate similarly. However, there will be variations in their practices and procedures. Because the number of in-home placement services has grown rapidly in the past few years, be sure to talk to several services before deciding which one to use, and screen them carefully. Compare the minimum qualifications each service requires of their candidates. They will differ.
