If accepted would Choice Parenting become my employer?
No, Choice Parenting is not your employer. We are a referral agency only. If you are hired by a “client” of Choice Parenting, that family become your employer.

For more information please refer to our household payroll page.

No! We take a one-time placement fee from the families only. You set your rate and the family pays you directly. Throughout the search and hiring process, we will help advocate for fair pay and benefits for both family and nanny.

How do you match families and nannies?
We take time to get to know both our nannies and our families. We work hard to understand not just the logistics of a family and nanny’s schedule and budget but also their personalities, communication style, management abilities, child-rearing phylosophies, lifestyles, hobbies, pet peeves, comfort zones and more. The nanny profession is an employment situation but it is so much more emotional and personal than your typical “job” when you care, educate, and love little kids in the intimacy of a family’s home. In addition to providing professional and safe caregivers, we want to ensure good relationship chemistry and like-minded childcare practices in our nanny-family matches.
How long does it take to find a job?
We aim to represent nannies that we feel are marketable for our clients. This means that if accepted, we are hopeful that you will easily and quickly match with one of our families. However, the answer varies greatly depending on your location, experience, qualifications, current market and season. Some nannies find a job almost immediately while other never do. If accepted to be represented by Choice Parenting, our goal is to guide and support you to help you find the best suited family environment and employment situation as swiftly as possible.
