How do you screen candidates?
Each of our nannies are subject to a rigorous screening process to ensure impeccable experience that meets our standards. Our process includes multilevel interviews, reference checks, background checks, and education verification to guarantee a candidate's integrity.
We also provide social media checks to understand each candidate's personality and level of professionalism.
Are the nannies agency employees or family employees?
Manhattan Nannies is a recruitment agency and we do not employ our nanny candidates. This means we assist families through the hiring process. Once a nanny is placed with a family, they are 100% the family’s employee.
How long does the hiring process take?
The hiring process timeline varies. It could take anywhere from a week to months depending on many factors. If a family is diligent about interviewing and knows exactly what they’re looking for in a candidate, this can directly speed up the process. Finding the best match for families and candidates is our priority.
What does the process of hiring a nanny with us look like?
Reach out to us at info@manhattannannies.com.
We schedule a call where you tell us about your family and what the job entails. We will then prepare a job description.
We will send you vetted nanny profiles and resumes that best fit the job opportunity. You choose the candidates you like best, and we will set up an interview.
You interview the candidates until you find a nanny that matches your family’s specific needs.
From there, we do trials with your chosen candidates, write up offer letters, and handle any negotiations.
A fee of 15% of the nanny’s starting annual gross salary (for a long-term placement) is due upon the end of the employee’s first day, and a fee of 30% of the nanny’s pay (for a short-term placement) will be due upon the end of the employee’s first day as well.
