Our Nanny Placement Process
Step-by-Step, Choice Parenting will be there!

Ready to start your search?

At Choice Parenting, we know there is nothing more important than the safety and well-being of your children. Our mission is to simplify the search process and connect families with reliable, experienced nannies who bring not only skill and professionalism, but also warmth and trust into your home.

Step 1: Registration & Virtual Consultation

Begin by filling out our Family Registration Form or giving us a call. Within 48 hours, we will contact you to learn more about your childcare needs.
If together we determine that Choice Parenting is a good fit, we’ll schedule a 1 hour phone or video consultation with Holly Flanders.

• Consultation Fee: $500 (non-refundable deposit)
• Next Step: A signed Family Nanny Placement Agreement is required to initiate your search.

During your consultation, we will cover:

• Your family’s unique needs, preferences, parenting style, and goals for this role
• The personality traits, skills, and experience that will help your nanny succeed in your home
• Salary, benefits, taxes, and labor laws (with a recommendation for a free payroll consultation)
• Current nanny market costs and trends
• Choice Parenting’s search and screening process
• Guidance on how to use our childcare guides and templates, including:
  • Interview questions and tips
  • Nanny contract/employment handbook sample template
  • Reference check guidance
  • Recommendations for trial periods, training, communication, reviews, and long-term success

 Step 2: Search & Screening

Once your family’s needs are defined, we will begin a targeted search using:

• Our database of screened candidates
• Family referrals and nanny networks
• Specialized online marketing efforts

​Step 3: Candidate Profiles & Interviews

When we find qualified candidates, you will receive a comprehensive profile that includes:

• Work history, childcare experience, skills, and education
• Notes from our in-depth interview
• A personalized message explaining why we believe they may be a strong fit

We’ll also assist in scheduling interviews at a time that works for your family.

​Step 4: Trial Periods/Working Interviews

We strongly recommend a 1–5 day paid trial period with one or two top candidates. This allows you to observe how they interact with your children and home environment before making your decision. (Families are responsible for compensating candidates during trials.)

​Step 5: Making Your Offer

When you find your ideal candidate, we will guide you through the offer and hiring process, including:

• Extending the offer of employment
• Finalizing your nanny work agreement
• Ensuring the childcare employment references have been checked and verified
• Completing the final background check with a private investigator

At this stage, our one-time flat placement fee of $3,000 will be collected.

​Ongoing Support

Our commitment doesn’t end with placement. Choice Parenting provides continued support throughout your nanny’s employment. You can reach out to us anytime for guidance, resources, or questions to ensure your relationship with your caregiver remains strong and long-lasting.​
