FAQ's About our Nanny Service in Philadelphia - Cont'd

Will I get to meet the Nannies first?

What kind of training do you provide your Nannies?

ABC Nanny Source requires all candidates are CPR Certified for Infants and Children prior to being accepted into our database.

Why do the highly qualified Nannies come to ABC Nanny Source?

We recognize that in order to attract the most qualified and high caliber Nannies, we must not only treat each Nanny with the dignity and respect they deserve but also allow them to be paid at a competitive rate of pay based on their experience and training. In order for a candidate to become registered with our agency they truly do need to have a strong desire to pursue this profession. Many other agencies will refer candidates without requiring they even come in for an interview not to mention extensive clearances and certification. We only accept candidates who have proven that they are serious about the profession of a Nanny and this allows our families to feel secure in whom they hire and the Nannies the ability to command a higher rate of pay based on their experience, screening and training we offer.

What is the typical hourly or salary rate for Nannies?

What is your Guarantee Policy?

Although the vast majority of our families use the services of their ABC Nannies far beyond the first year, we are proud to offer an exclusive one-year guarantee period for all permanent placements.

What if my husband or I were to get laid off, would we be at any obligation to the Agency or Nanny for the One Year Period?

No. ABC Nanny Source and our Nannies provide a ONE-YEAR COMMITMENT to you. You are not required to commit to a specific duration of service.

What other benefits will I need to offer a Nanny?

ABC Nanny Source does not dictate the benefit package that should be offered between the family and caregiver, however, in order for families to be competitive in hiring and retaining these highly sought after Nannies, each family should consider offering a benefit package that would include vacation time off, paid major holidays, paid sick time and possibly major medical insurance. ABC Nanny Source has affiliations with several resources to provide you with detailed information on what is involved in providing medical insurance as part of the offer if you decide to make this a part of the benefit package to your Nanny.
