The Maryland Nanny Assessment Process

The assessment process is one of the most important steps to providing you with the ideal Nanny! The first step is to fill out a detailed registration form, from there one of our Placement Counselors will contact you within 24 hours. Your ABC Placement Counselor will ask you many questions to get a thorough understanding of what you are looking for in a childcare provider, and she will create a detailed description regarding your preferences. Many specific fact-finding questions will be asked to ensure that we have a clear picture of what the role for your nanny will entail. Some of the questions that will be asked are: when you would like your nanny to begin working for you, the hours you will typically need your nanny, your age preference for the nanny, as well as your children’s current activity schedule. All of the information that we gather will be taken into consideration so that your placement counselor can provide you with a very personalized recommendation based on your unique requests. When one of our placement counselors are assigned to you, she will be the person who guides you throughout the entire process and she will be sure to keep you updated, informed, and will review with you all of the details of our services and fee structure.

After the initial assessment, and ABC Nanny Source is in receipt of your referral and credit card authorization, your placement counselor will complete your registration. Once you are completely registered and the assessment has been completed, your counselor will begin canvassing for your position. ABC Nanny Source typically places our Nannies within a 30-minute radius of their home, which means that the nanny sent to you for consideration will only be local candidates in your area! We will narrow down our search by the experience level you requested and by any other specifications, so we are sure to find the ideal match for your family!

The Nanny profiles that your placement counselor will send to you via e-mail will include a picture of the candidate, the description the candidate provided as to why she's chosen the nanny profession, comments from your placement counselor regarding their suitability, the amount of pay recommended and their references that our agency has verified. The nanny's electronic profile will also contain the information about her driving record, criminal clearance, drug testing results and even CPR certification! Once you have become registered it does not take long at all for you to received profiles. In fact, typically our families will recieve profiles of the top candidates for your position within just a few days! Contact an ABC Nanny Source placement counselor today!
