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

We know that there is nothing more important than the safety and care of your children and family. At Choice Parenting, we work to simplify the process and connect you with nannies that you can rely on and trust with your child's well-being.  ​



Step 1: Registration/ In Home Consultation

Fill out our contact information form or give us a call. Within 48, we will contact you to discuss your situation and unique childcare needs. After our conversation, if together, we believe Choice Parenting services can meet your expectations and needs, we will request a signed copy of our client services placement agreement and a non-refundable deposit of $250 to initiate your search. Upon receipt, we work to schedule an in-person consultation in your home or office in the NYC metro (phone or skype are also available when distance or time is prohibitive) with our owner Holly Flanders.

During this 1- 1.5 hour consultation we will review and discuss:
  • Your family’s unique needs, preferences, parenting style and overall hopes for this important role 
  • The type of personality, experiences and skill set this individual will need to possess to be well-suited for this position
  • Salary, benefits, tax and labor laws with recommendations for a free consultation tax professionals
  • Current market conditions and trends 
  • Overview of what Choice Parenting will do in our search and screening efforts 
  • Advice and our childcare guides and templates to help you throughout the hiring process to ensure a healthy, long-term employment relationship: Interview questions and tips; nanny contract template and guide; reference questions; recommendations for trial period, training, quality control checks, on-going communication, reviews and more. ​​

 
​Step 2: Search and Screening Process

​After determining the type of person that is best suited for your needs, Choice Parenting will begin actively searching for a quality candidate to fit your position using our current database of screened candidates, family referrals, nanny networks as well as our targeted online marketing efforts.  

​
​Step 3: Profiles and Interviews

​We will assist in setting up interviews at a time that is convenient for you. Before you meet the candidate, we will send you their profiles which will include: a work, childcare, skills and education overview; notes from our interview process; employment references and their feedback; and a personalized message outlining why we believe this individual may be a good fit for the position.  (Learn more about our screening process Nanny Placement Pricing and FAQS)

​
​Step 4: Trial Periods/Working Interviews

​After meeting our candidates, we recommend that you bring one or two individuals that you believe may be a good fit to your home for a trial period of between 1-5 days (you will be responsible for the candidate’s compensation during this time) to see how they preform and interact with your children, home and you as parents. 

​
​Step 5: Make Your Offer

​Once you have met the candidate that you feel is a good match for your family, we will assist you in extending your offer for employment, advise you on the details of your work agreement and run the final pieces of our background check. We will be there to guide and support you to ensure that you and your nanny are on the same page and that this relationship is off to great start with healthy communication and a professional employment base.  At this time our one time, flat rate placement fee of $3000 will be collected .
