The Process

1. The New Client Form- Starts the process and gives us a clear understanding of your needs.

2. Complimentary Phone Consultation: Once we receive your new client form, we will arrange a phone consultation to discuss your family’s needs and how we can best support you. The search fee will be due following this call to proceed with the process.

3. Family-Agency Zoom Meeting:  We take great pride in fostering lasting connections between the families we serve and the nannies we place. A key to this success is the time we dedicate to getting to know both our clients and nannies on a personal level. This meeting will allow us to dive into your family’s core values, culture, and other key details that will shape your family profile and job description. This profile will be used to match you with nannies who are well-suited to your unique needs.

​4.  Search & Recruitment: At Tailor Made Nannies, we thoroughly evaluate numerous candidates for your position, guiding them through a rigorous interview process and conducting detailed reference checks with their previous childcare employers. From this pool, we carefully select 2-5 top candidates who best meet your family’s unique needs for your review. *Less than 5% of candidates who apply to Tailor Made Nannies make it through our rigorous interview process. 

5.  Family + Nanny Interviews:  This is your opportunity to meet and get to know the candidates. We assist in scheduling interviews and provide you with a list of interview questions to make the process as smooth and convenient as possible.

6. Background Check + Offer Letter:  Once you've decided to move forward with a candidate, Tailor Made Nannies conducts a comprehensive background check. This includes a national criminal check, sex offender registry search, social security trace, county court records from past and current residences, a full driving record report, and a national alias search. We also assist in defining the terms of the offer, drafting the offer letter, and facilitating any negotiations between you and the candidate.

7. Hiring: Once the offer is accepted, the placement fee is due to the agency. Tailor Made Nannies will provide a customizable Family + Nanny Agreement template to ensure both parties are set up for success. Additionally, we offer a complimentary consultation with our partners at HomePay to address any questions you may have about nanny taxes and, if desired, assist with setting up payroll. As a Tailor Made Nannies client, your first month with HomePay is free.

8. Long Term Success: Tailor Made Nannies conducts check-ins during your nanny's employment to ensure everything is going smoothly. We're here to offer continuous support and to assist you with any evolving needs that may arise throughout your nanny's employment. 

Six Month Grace Period:  We strive to foster long-term, successful matches between our families and nannies, but we recognize that unforeseen circumstances can occur. For this reason, we provide a six-month grace period for all long-term placements. If the arrangement doesn't work out within the first six months, we will provide up to two additional candidates at no extra charge.
