Questions to Ask Your Philadelphia Nanny Agency!

Does your Philadelphia Nanny Agency require that each candidate that is accepted into your database and offered to meet with families has come to the Agency for a face-to-face interview or is this only done when convenient?

You may be surprised that many Nanny agencies, even agencies that have been serving the local community for several years, do not require the Nanny come to the agency for a face-to-face interview?

Does your agency do thorough National Background Clearances on each candidate prior to accepting them into your database and interviewing with families?

You would definitely be shocked to find that many agencies will only do the Nationwide Criminal background check after the Nanny has been chosen. Which, in effect, means a criminal could have been welcomed into your home!

Does your agency make sure the candidates that are sent to our home for interviewing are safe drivers prior to coming to our home for interviews?

Many positions require the Nanny be, at the very least, available to drive on occasion if necessary. We feel it is important to know not only their driving record for safety purposes, but this also can also be a good indication regarding the responsibility level of the candidate being considered. (Report results are provided prior to your interview with the candidate)

Does your agency require that all applicants pass a drug test at a local lab prior to being accepted into your database of qualified candidates?

It is a true and very sad fact that there are more applicants then you would think who initially are anxious to apply to be a Nanny but then change their mind when they realize we require a drug test is done before being accepted. (Every candidate must pass a 5-panel drug test to even get to the next step of the interviewing process)

Does your agency ensure that each candidate sent to us for interviewing is legally authorized to work in the United States prior to coming?

Social security verification trace is done on every candidate prior to being accepted into our database to be sure they are authorized to accept employment legally. (Provided to you prior to interview)

Does your Philadelphia Nanny Agency require that each candidate be properly fingerprinted prior to being given our home address and personal family description for an interview?

Candidates who apply to become an ABC Nanny must submit to electronic fingerprinting which is fully scanned into their profile. You truly can’t be too extensive when it comes to your children. We have fingerprints for every Nanny that has ever come to our agency on file. (Provided to you prior to interview)

Does your agency require that each applicant is CPR Certified for Infants and Children prior to being accepted into your database of qualified Nannies?

Every candidate accepted into our database has been fully CPR Certified prior to meeting with any families or being qualified to care for children. (Certification copies provided prior to interview)
