Screening and Vetting Process

We understand the importance of hiring a fully screened babysitter or nanny for your family.

Screening and Vetting

Our nannies and babysitters must go through an in-depth interview and screening process

We understand that when you hire us, you are not just entrusting us with your children, but also with your home and perhaps a vehicle. That's why we are committed to providing you with a high-quality experience. To achieve this, we take the hiring and placement of our nannies seriously.

That's why we have implemented a rigorous screening and vetting process that all our nannies must pass before joining our team. Our multifaceted process ensures that we only select the most qualified and experienced nannies for your family. So you can feel confident that when you hire through us, you are getting the best possible care for your children.

References - We check each reference a potential nanny provides to confirm reliability and experience.
