Frequently Asked Questions

Registration: What is the typical duration from the initial registration to the hiring process at registration?

The process of finding the perfect Nanny for your household may vary depending on individual circumstances. However, in our experience, most families tend to select a Nanny after carefully considering three to five candidates. Our aim is to support you throughout this process by offering ongoing assistance, ensuring that you find the ideal candidate for your family as efficiently as possible!

Hours of Operation?

Our placement counselors at ABC Nanny Source are at your service every weekday, Monday through Friday, from 9am to 5pm.

How many nannies are there to choose from?

We have a wide selection of Nannies available for placement throughout the year. However, there is a strong demand for the high caliber Nannies we provide, which means availability may occasionally be limited. We refuse to compromise on our stringent procedures in order to have a larger pool of Nannies to select from. Our meticulous selection process sets our Nannies apart from others in the industry. Rest assured, we prioritize quality over quantity.

What is the procedure for handling taxes?

One company that comes highly recommended is GTM Payroll Services. We strongly suggest that every family hiring an ABC Nanny consider utilizing their services. GTM Payroll Services is a renowned agency specializing in household employee payroll. They have established an exceptional rapport with our families and nannies!

In addition to the aforementioned benefits, are there any other perks I should consider offering the nanny?

While ABC Nanny Source does not determine the benefits, it is crucial for families to remain competitive in attracting and retaining highly sought-after Nannies. It is advisable for each family to consider offering a comprehensive benefit package. This package may typically include two weeks of vacation time off, with one week coinciding with the family vacation and the other week at the nanny's discretion. Additionally, paid major holidays and paid sick time should also be included.

Are we obligated to employ the nanny we hire for a minimum of one year?

No, the Nanny and ABC Nanny Source bear the entire responsibility. Your family is not obligated to maintain the salary or employ the nanny if her services are no longer needed. ABC Nannies are required to sign a one-year commitment pledge to be accepted, and the agency provides a one-year guarantee for an unlikely scenario where things do not work out with the hired nanny. Nonetheless, your family is not obligated to continue her salary if you no longer require nanny services for any reason, such as relocation, layoffs, or the decision of the mother to stay at home. This sets ABC Nanny Source apart from AuPair Agencies and those providing nannies from outside the local area, offering an immense advantage.

Is there any kind of training involved in becoming a Nanny in CO?

Prior to being accepted into our database, ABC Nanny Source mandates that all applicants must possess a valid CPR Certification.

How does the one-year guarantee work?

Simply put, if your nanny doesn't work out for any reason within one year, we will gladly start a new search to find a replacement and help you choose someone new! It's worth noting that this rarely happens, and we take pride in that.

Do you have bi-lingual nannies?

Yes, it is mandatory for all nannies to possess fluency in speaking, reading, and writing English, as stated by the placement counselor. Additionally, numerous professional nannies are also well-versed in other languages like Spanish, French, and even Sign Language. If you have a preference for nannies with these language skills, kindly inform the placement counselor assigned to your family. They will take this into account when selecting suitable candidates for your position.

Is ABC Nanny Source a National Company or a local CO Nanny Agency?

ABC Nanny Source, being a family owned agency rather than an impersonal National agency, requires every candidate seeking employment through our agency to adhere to our stringent screening standards. We firmly believe in this practice and make no exceptions, as it is crucial for ensuring the optimal experience for our families.

What payment methods are accepted?

To make things easier for you, the payment for the hiring fee can be made through Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover. You have the option to "get registered" today by visiting our website at https://www.abcnannysource.com/co/register_now.asp.

Does ABC Nanny Source offer live in and live out Nannies?

At ABC Nanny Source, we are dedicated to providing exceptional live in and live out childcare services. Our expertise lies in matching families with the most suitable candidates for their specific needs. When it comes to live out nannies, we make sure that they are placed within a 30-minute radius of their home. This ensures that every candidate your family considers will be conveniently located in close proximity to your residence. Rest assured, we prioritize finding local nannies who are readily available to assist your family.

We only need an occassional weekend babysitter – Can you help with that?

At ABC Nannies, every one of our caregivers is focused on pursuing long-term professional opportunities instead of engaging in short-term or casual assignments. Our permanent part-time nannies, in particular, have a minimum requirement of 25 hours per week.

How do you specifically choose the nannies for our particular family?

When "harmonizing" nannies with families, several aspects are taken into consideration. One key factor is the distance for live-out candidates. Each live-out nanny is placed within a 30-minute radius of their home, ensuring that each candidate presented to your family is local and familiar with the area. Another important consideration is that each prospective nanny must feel completely comfortable with your family description and the unique needs and requests you have. We will only recommend candidates who have experience and are comfortable with your children's age, such as presenting you with candidates who have experience with and love working specifically with babies if you have a newborn. Furthermore, your counselor will closely match nannies with your family's requested salary from your family application. During the initial consultation, your counselor will inquire about the "type" of candidate you are seeking, taking into account qualities such as bubbly, professional, religious, nurturing, and more. We make a significant effort to consider these criteria when sorting through potential nannies who may be well-suited to your family. Additionally, we take into consideration any pets your family may have, ensuring that they do not interfere with any allergies the nanny may have disclosed. The matching process requires a lot of work, but it serves a very important purpose and delivers the desired results!

How do I know that every candidate that I'm considering is safe?

We understand the importance of ensuring that only reliable and qualified nannies are introduced to your family. That's why our meticulous 10 Step Screening Process is in place. This comprehensive process includes verifying all references provided, conducting thorough criminal background clearances, and obtaining negative results from a 5 panel drug test administered by Quest Diagnostics. We also make sure to obtain vehicle registration information, professionally verify identities, and confirm CPR certifications. Rest assured, we go above and beyond to take every imaginable measure, guaranteeing that only trustworthy individuals are invited into your home.
