Meticulous Screening

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

Tier One Screening

This level of screening is performed BEFORE you meet the applicant:

Phone Screening to verify that they have at least two years experience, can give a one year or longer commitment, are good communicators, etc.
The nannies fill out a five page Application about their experience and family background.
Personal interview with additional questions related to their field of expertise.
Safety Quiz completed in the office
Child Care Competency Exam
A 31 question phone interview is conducted with at least two of their references.
Educational verification of last level completed
Non-Childcare Work References confirmed with special attention to gaps in work history

This level of screening is performed AFTER you have made an offer to a Nanny and takes two days usually:

Remaining references are completed, if not already completed

Seven year County and National Criminal Background Checks
Sex Offender Check
