Frequently Asked Questions From Families
Why should I use an agency to hire a nanny rather than doing it myself?
Searching for the right child-care provider for your family is a very serious undertaking and one that takes a lot of time. You will need to place an advertisement, field phone calls, conduct interviews and reference checks, and narrow down your candidates for potential hiring. Capital Nannies, LLC will reduce that burden by placing the advertisement, taking the phone calls, conducting reference checks and narrowing down the list of potentially qualified candidates. Once that narrowing down takes place, Capital Nannies, LLC discusses with you the qualifications of the top three to five candidates, three of whom you will interview, and decide which, if any, you would like to hire (if none meet your criteria, Capital Nannies, LLC continues the search). Once you decide which candidate you would like to hire, Capital Nannies, LLC will have a local, state and federal criminal “Courthouse Records” check done on the nanny candidate and share those results with you (all candidates authorize Capital Nannies, LLC to have the record check conducted and agree to share it with the family) as well as a driving records check.
