Frequently Asked Questions

When it comes to registration, one might wonder about the typical duration of this process from initial registration to securing employment.

The process will vary for each household. Our research shows that most families opt to hire a Nanny after evaluating three to five candidates. Our team is dedicated to providing ongoing support to help you find the perfect candidate for your family as efficiently as possible!

Hours of Operation?

Our esteemed team of ABC Nanny Source placement counselors are readily available during regular business hours, from Monday to Friday, between 9am and 5pm.

I am curious to know the number of nannies that are presently available.

We have a wide selection of Nannies available for placement throughout the year. However, the demand for our exceptional high caliber Nannies is high, so there may be limited availability at times. We refuse to compromise our rigorous procedures to simply have a large pool of Nannies to choose from. Our meticulous selection process sets our Nannies apart from others in the industry!

How are taxes handled in terms of their management and administration?

We highly recommend GTM Payroll Services for household employee payroll. When hiring an ABC Nanny, we strongly advise utilizing this exceptional resource. GTM Payroll Services specializes in managing payroll for household employees and has established great rapport with both our families and nannies!

Are there any additional perks or advantages I should consider extending to the nanny?

Although ABC Nanny Source does not dictate the benefits, families should still consider offering a competitive benefit package to attract and keep highly sought-after Nannies. This should include two weeks of vacation time off for full-time Nannies, with one week coinciding with the family vacation and another week at the nanny's discretion. Paid major holidays and paid sick time should also be included in the package.

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 obligation. Your family is not obliged to maintain the salary or employment of the nanny if her services are no longer required. All ABC Nannies must commit to a one-year pledge, and the agency guarantees each family a year in the event that the hired nanny does not work out. However, your family is not obligated to continue her salary if you no longer need nanny services for reasons such as relocation, a parent's layoff, or a decision for the mother to stay at home. This advantage is far superior to that of AuPair Agencies and those offering nannies from outside the local area.

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

All applicants must have a valid CPR Certification before ABC Nanny Source accepts them into our database.

How does the one-year guarantee work?

We take pride in the fact that our services are rarely required to initiate a new nanny search for your family within the one-year time period, however, in the unlikely event that your nanny does not work out for any reason, we will simply assist you in selecting someone new!

Do you have bi-lingual nannies?

Certainly! To initiate the process, it is mandatory for all nannies to possess fluent English speaking, reading, and writing skills. In addition, numerous professional nannies under our wing exhibit proficiency in supplementary languages such as Spanish, French, and even Sign Language. If this is a preference you hold dear, kindly inform the placement counselor handling your family's case. This way, the counselor will prioritize this criterion while selecting suitable candidates for your position.

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

ABC Nanny Source takes pride in being a family owned agency, differentiating ourselves from impersonal national agencies. It is for this reason that we prioritize adherence to our stringent screening standards for all candidates seeking employment through our agency. Our unwavering commitment to these standards ensures that we can deliver the highest quality experience to our families, without any exceptions.

What payment methods are accepted?

To ensure ease of use, you have the option to pay the hiring fee through Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover. Today is the perfect day to complete your registration, so simply click here to get registered now!

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

At ABC Nanny Source, our expertise lies in offering live-in and live-out childcare services. Our priority is to ensure that all live-out nannies are placed within a 30-minute distance from their homes, guaranteeing that each candidate your family considers will be conveniently local.

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

All ABC Nannies are focused on finding career opportunities rather than engaging in short term or casual assignments. It is important to note that our permanent part time Nannies necessitate a minimum commitment of 25 hours per week.

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

When "harmonizing" nannies with families, there are several aspects that are considered. One crucial factor is the distance for live out candidates. Each live out nanny is placed within a 30-minute radius of their home, ensuring that the candidates presented to your family are local and familiar with the area. Another important aspect is the comfort level of prospective nannies with your family's description and unique needs. We only recommend candidates who have experience and feel at ease with your children's age group. For example, if you have a newborn, we will only present candidates who have specific experience and love working with babies. Your assigned counselor will also take your family's desired salary into account when selecting nannies. During the initial consultation, your counselor will ask about the type of candidate you are seeking, considering personality traits such as being bubbly, professional, religious, nurturing, etc. We make a significant effort to match these criteria with potential nannies who are well-suited to your family. Additionally, we consider any pets your family may have and if they could potentially interfere with the nanny's known allergies. The matching process involves a lot of work, but it serves a valuable purpose and aims to provide the desired results.

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

When it comes to inviting someone into your home, we understand that you wouldn't open your doors to just anyone. That's why we have implemented a comprehensive 10 Step Screening Process. This meticulous screening process ensures that we verify all references, clear criminal backgrounds, conduct negative 5 panel drug tests through Quest Diagnostics, obtain vehicle registrations, professionally verify identities, and confirm CPR certifications, among other measures. Our goal is to go above and beyond to ensure that only trustworthy and qualified nannies are introduced to your family.
