Meticulous Screening

Caring Nannies performs two tiers of screening, and we only refer 15% of all the nannies who apply with us.

    " I called you in a crisis and you offered me several high quality nannies to choose from the same day! The first person you recommended was June, who was in the process of leaving her current position. I knew after our interview that she was the right one. She was able to start within a few days. Your staff was efficient and I could tell they really cared about finding the"right" nanny for me and my family- not just any nanny...It is nice to know that someone else has already done the background checks and reference checks on the candidates....it gives me peace of mind to know that I am choosing from high-quality, safe, professionals. I also really liked that you helped guide me through the process-probing me to ask the right questions and challenging me to think about what I really wanted in a nanny. June is a true professional It is obvious  that this is her passion. She is great with kids and very knowledgeable. I never realized the difference between a nanny and a babysitter until we hired June. It's like night and day! Thanks again,"
