I'm wondering, are there any options on the number of nannies that are available? I am curious about the availability of nannies in terms of quantity. How many nannies are there to choose from?

We always have a wide selection of Nannies available for placement throughout the year. However, the demand for our highly qualified Nannies is quite high, which means that availability may be limited at certain times.

What is the process for handling taxes? How are taxes typically managed?

GTM Payroll Services is the highly recommended company that we believe is the best choice for households hiring an ABC Nanny. We strongly advise every family to take advantage of this invaluable resource. Specifically focusing on household employee payroll, GTM Payroll Services has developed an exceptional relationship with our families and nannies.

Are there any additional perks or advantages I should consider offering the nanny?

When it comes to determining the benefits, ABC Nanny Source takes a backseat. However, families should keep in mind the importance of offering a competitive benefit package to attract and retain highly sought-after Nannies. This package should ideally include two weeks of vacation time off for full-time Nannies, with one week coinciding with the family vacation and another week at the Nanny's discretion. Additionally, families should consider providing paid major holidays and paid sick time as part of the benefits package.

Are we obligated to employ the nanny we hire for a minimum of one year?

ABC Nanny Source and the nanny have the sole responsibility for any obligations. Your family is not obliged to maintain the nanny's salary or employment if her services are no longer needed. ABC Nannies are required to sign a one year commitment pledge for acceptance, and the agency provides each family with a one year guarantee in case the hired nanny does not work out for some unforeseen reason. However, in the event that your family no longer requires nanny services for any reason, you are under no obligation to continue her salary. This advantage sets us apart from AuPair Agencies and agencies that offer nannies from outside the local area.

Is there any kind of training involved in becoming a Nanny in AR?

Before being accepted into our database, ABC Nanny Source mandates that all applicants must possess a valid CPR Certification.

How does the one-year guarantee work?

Simply put, if for any reason your nanny is not suitable for your family within the one year timeframe, we will gladly begin a new nanny search and support you in finding a replacement. It is worth mentioning that we rarely encounter such situations.

Do you have bi-lingual nannies?

Yes, it is mandatory for all nannies to have complete fluency in both spoken and written English as per our requirements. Moreover, we take pride in our professional nannies who are proficient in additional languages such as Spanish, French, and even Sign Language. If you have a preference for nannies with these language skills, kindly inform the assigned placement counselor so that they can consider this when choosing suitable candidates for your position. You can reach out to the placement counselor through this link.

How do you specifically choose the nannies for our particular family?

When "harmonizing" nannies with families, there are several aspects that are considered. One crucial factor is the distance for live-out candidates. We ensure that each live-out nanny is placed within a 30-minute radius of their home, so the candidates presented to your family will be local and familiar with the area. Another important consideration is that each prospective nanny must feel completely comfortable with your family description and the unique needs you have outlined. We only recommend candidates who have the necessary experience and are comfortable with the age of your children. For example, if you have a newborn, we will only present you with candidates experienced in and passionate about working with babies. Additionally, your counselor will select nannies who match the salary range specified in your family application. During the initial consultation, your counselor will ask you about the specific characteristics you are seeking in a nanny, such as being bubbly, professional, religious, or nurturing, and we take this into account when determining the best-fit candidates for your family. We also consider any pets your family may have to ensure compatibility with any allergies the nanny may have. The matching process requires a lot of effort but it is all done with a clear purpose and the desired results in mind.

How do I know that every candidate that I'm considering is safe?

Maintaining the key phrases, here is a rewritten version: Our comprehensive 10 Step Screening Process ensures that only trustworthy and qualified nannies are introduced to your family. We understand that inviting someone into your home is a big decision, which is why we take all precautions necessary. Our screening process includes thorough verification of all references, clearances of criminal background checks, negative results from a 5-panel drug test administered by Quest Diagnostics, acquisition of vehicle registration, professional verification of identity, and CPR certifications. We go above and beyond to guarantee that every imaginable measure has been taken to provide you with peace of mind.
