The Washington DC Assessment Process

The assessment process is the most important step in providing your family with the right Nanny! In order to initiate the assessment process, you will begin by filling out the detailed online registration form. Within 24 hours of receipt of your application, you will be contacted by a Placement Counselor who will ask you specific questions in order to construct a very detailed description of your position. This Placement Counselor will most likely be permanently matched to your family and will work with you directly throughout the entire process. Many of the questions your counselor will ask you will help her to establish a clear picture of your ideal Nanny and the role she will fill within your family. She will ask you about the typical hours you will need, any age preferences you may have, your child’s current activity level, and the start date you anticipate. All of your responses will be utilized to provide you with a personalized recommendation based on your distinctive and individual circumstance. The details regarding our services and fee structure will also be reviewed with you.

When the initial assessment has been completed and you decide you are interested in interviewing potential candidates, your counselor will fully register your family. Once this registration is complete, the detailed employment description will be forwarded to a team of counselors who will begin working on your account. The team will refer to your employment description to narrow down the potential candidates based on your particular requests and experience requirements. Nannies are only placed within a 30-minute radius of their home, so you will only be interviewing with local childcare providers in your area.

Each candidate that fits these criteria will be contacted and informed of the position opening. This will help create a strong list of Nannies that would best fit your particular needs. Your counselor will then send you a detailed profile for each candidate before she ever steps foot in your home for an interview. Each profile will include all of the information you need to make a very informed decision. A picture of the Nanny, the details of her references, all of her certifications, her salary requirements, one year commitment pledge, even her fingerprints are all included in this profile for you to review. Each Nanny will come directly to your home for a face-to-face interview and to meet the family. You can typically anticipate to begin the interview process within only a matter of days after registration! Contact ABC Nanny Source today to begin meeting Nannies!
