The Virginia Nanny Assessment Process

One of the most important steps to providing the “right” Nanny is in the assessment process!

The first step will be to fill out the family registration questionaire, which will initiate a counselor to contact you within 24 hours. Your counselor will ask you specific questions and discuss with you all of the information needed in order to make a detailed description of what you require. This is primarily done to ensure that there is a clear picture on what the role of your Nanny will entail. This will include the children’s current activity schedule, hours typically needed, age preference for the Nanny, and of course when you would like your Nanny to begin working for you. All of this information will be taken into consideration to provide you with a personalized recommendation based on your individual and unique circumstances. The Placement Counselor assigned to your family during the assessment process will likely be the counselor who will work with you throughout the entire progress and she will review with you all details regarding our services and fee structure.

Following the assessment, your counselor will fully register your family. Once registered, your counselor will provide the detailed Nanny Employment description to a team of counselors who will begin scouting for your position. We work hard to match ABC Nannies within a 30 minute radius of their home, so you will only be meeting with local caregivers! We will help you narrow down the candidates based on your requests and experience level requested.

Candidates will be contacted that we feel best match the description you’ve provided in order to create a strong choice of Nannies that would be best suited for you! Once we have the candidates that we would like to present to you, we will email you a very detailed profile of each candidate along with a customized offer of employment that you will have the ability to modify further if you find necessary.

The profiles will include a picture of the candidate, the description she gave regarding why she has chosen to become a professional Nanny, all of the verified references, both written and electronically submitted, a valid CPR Certification, Identity Verification results and even a one year commitment pledge!

Practically everything you will need to know about the candidate is provided to you. After receiving the profiles, each nanny will be put on hold from consideration by other ABC families and reserved specifically for you. It is then up to you to review and compare the exceptional candidates that have been meticulously selected for your family! Typically, once you become registered you can anticipate receiving the profiles of these nannies within a matter of just a few days!
