​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 or Virtual Consultation

Fill out our contact information form or give us a call. Within 48, we will contact you to discuss your childcare situation. After our conversation, if together, we believe Choice Parenting services can meet your needs and expectations we work to schedule an in-person consultation in your home or office within a 30-45 minute commute of Jersey City (phone or virtual meetings are also available when distance or time is prohibitive) with Holly Flanders. The consultation is a non-refundable deposit of $500.  After our consultation will request a signed copy of our Family Nanny Placement agreement to initiate your search.

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 with payroll professionals
• The current nanny market costs and trends
• Overview of Choice Parenting procedures for the search and screening efforts 

• Advice on how to best use our childcare guides and templates throughout the hiring process to ensure a healthy, long-term employment relationship. Topics such as:Interview questions and tips; a detailed nanny “contract"/employment handbook sample template and guide; reference questions; recommendations for the trial period, training, quality control checks, on-going communication, reviews and more. ​

 
​Step 2: Search and Screening Process

​After determining the type of applicant 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; childcare employment references and their feedback; and a personalized message outlining why we believe this individual may be a good fit for the position.

​
​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 perform 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.
