Frequently Asked Questions

From the moment you begin the registration process to the point of hiring, how much time does it usually take?

The process will vary among households. From our observations, most families opt to evaluate three to five candidates before hiring a Nanny. Our aim is to offer ongoing support in order to help you identify the ideal candidate for your family as swiftly as possible!

Hours of Operation?

Our placement counselors at ABC Nanny Source are readily available Monday through Friday, operating from 9am to 5pm.

How many nannies are currently accessible and ready to provide care?

At any given time throughout the year, we have an abundant selection of Nannies available for placement. However, the demand for our highly skilled and accomplished Nannies is exceptionally high, resulting in limited availability at times. We firmly uphold our stringent procedures and refuse to compromise them in order to expand our pool of Nannies. Our meticulous selection process sets our high caliber Nannies apart from the competition, guaranteeing excellence and distinction in our database.

What is the process for handling taxes?

We highly recommend GTM Payroll Services as the company of choice. Every family that hires an ABC Nanny should make use of this invaluable resource. GTM Payroll Services specializes in household employee payroll and has built a strong rapport with our families and nannies.

Are there any additional perks or advantages that I should consider providing to the nanny? Are there any supplementary benefits that I should extend to the nanny besides the ones already discussed?

ABC Nanny Source recognizes that determining the benefits is not within its jurisdiction. However, families must consider offering a benefit package to remain competitive in hiring and retaining highly sought-after Nannies. This package should include vacation time off, typically 2 weeks for full-time positions (one week coinciding with the family vacation and one week at the discretion of the nanny), paid major holidays, and paid sick time.

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

No. The full responsibility lies with the Nanny and ABC Nanny Source. Your family is not obligated to maintain the nanny's salary or employment if her services are no longer required. ABC Nannies are all required to sign a one year commitment pledge, and the agency provides each family with a one year guarantee in case the hired nanny doesn't work out for any unforeseen reason. However, your family is not obliged to continue paying her salary if you no longer need nanny services, regardless of the reason (such as relocation, parent job loss, or a decision for the mother to stay at home). This advantage sets ABC Nanny Source apart from AuPair Agencies and those offering nannies from outside the local area.

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

In order to be accepted into our database at ABC Nanny Source, it is mandatory that all applicants have a valid CPR Certification.

How does the one-year guarantee work?

Simply put, if, for any reason within one year, your nanny doesn't work out, we will gladly start a new search for your family and help you choose a suitable replacement. It brings us great joy to inform you that this is a rarity!

Do you have bi-lingual nannies?

According to the placement counselor, all nannies must be fluent in speaking, reading, and writing English. Additionally, many professional nannies in our network are also fluent in other languages like Spanish, French, and even Sign Language. If this is something you prefer, kindly inform the assigned placement counselor so that she can consider this when selecting suitable candidates for your position. You can contact the placement counselor through this link: placement counselor.

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

ABC Nanny Source, a family-owned agency, differentiates itself from impersonal National agencies. As a result, we firmly require each candidate seeking employment through our agency to meet our stringent screening standards without any exceptions. We believe this is essential to ensure the utmost satisfaction for our valued families.

What payment methods are accepted?

To ensure your ease, you have the option to make payment for the hiring fee via Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover. You have the opportunity to get registered today!

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

ABC Nanny Source is dedicated to providing exceptional live-in and live-out childcare services. We specifically cater to families seeking live-out nannies who are conveniently located within a 30-minute radius of their home. By ensuring that every candidate is very local, we guarantee that your family will have the opportunity to consider nannies who are conveniently situated nearby.

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

No, all ABC Nannies are focused on finding career opportunities rather than engaging in short term or casual assignments. Our part time Nannies who are seeking permanent positions require a minimum commitment of 25 hours per week.

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

When "harmonizing" nannies with families, multiple aspects are considered. One crucial factor is the proximity for live-out candidates as each nanny is placed within a 30-minute radius of their residence. Therefore, all candidates presented to your family will be local and familiar with the area. Another key consideration is ensuring that each potential nanny feels entirely comfortable with your family's description and the unique needs and requests you have. We will only recommend candidates who have relevant experience and are at ease working with children of your specified age group. For example, if you have a newborn, we will exclusively present candidates with experience and a genuine affinity for working with babies. Your counselor will also carefully select nannies who match the salary range you have requested on your family application. During the initial consultation, your counselor will inquire about the specific qualities you are seeking in a candidate, such as being bubbly, professional, religious, nurturing, etc. We make a significant effort to take these criteria into account when identifying the best-suited candidates for your family. Additionally, we consider any pets you may have and any potential allergies that the nanny may have disclosed to us. The matching process involves a lot of effort, but it is all done with a clear purpose and to achieve the desired results.

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

Our 10 Step Screening Process ensures that only trustworthy and qualified Nannies are introduced to your family. We understand the importance of not inviting just anyone into your home. As part of our process, we carefully verify all references, conduct criminal background clearances, and obtain negative 5 panel drug test results from Quest Diagnostics. We also verify vehicle registration, professionally verify identity, and ensure CPR certifications are in place. Rest assured, we go above and beyond to ensure every imaginable measure is taken to guarantee the safety and security of your family.
