Let’s Start Your Nanny Search!
Finding the perfect nanny to add to your home can be stressful and time-consuming. That’s why our team is committed to helping you through the hard part. Working with an agency allows you to focus on your day-to-day life while we handle the search, screening, and selection process to find the ideal nanny for your family.
Our comprehensive nanny search process includes locating potential candidates, conducting interviews, and verifying credentials. Once our search is complete, we will present you with multiple candidate profiles for review. The search process typically takes about 30 days but may vary depending on your family’s specific needs.
How Does It Work?
Initial Consultation: You will have a virtual interview with a member of the WNA team. This step ensures we fully understand your family’s unique nanny needs and preferences. There is no charge for the consultation however, a non-refundable $300.00 administration fee is applied prior to the start of your search.
The Search Begins: Our search window varies based on your requirements, but most searches take approximately 30 days.
Evaluation Process: Not all of our candidates make it to the interview process. This is because we are intentional about finding the perfect fit. We also verify credentials and conduct thorough background checks.
The Interview Process: WNA will present the best candidates for your family to review. You will then have the opportunity to interview the candidates yourself to ensure they are a perfect fit.
The Contract: Almost there! WNA will assist your family in drafting a mutually agreeable contract for both you and the nanny, making the transition as smooth as possible.
Let us help you find the right addition to your family, so you can enjoy peace of mind and focus on what matters most.
