FAQ's About our Nanny Service in Philadelphia - Cont'd

What kind of training do you provide your Nannies?

ABC Nanny Source requires all candidates are CPR Certified prior to being accepted for representation.

Why do the highly qualified Nannies come to ABC Nanny Source?

We recognize that in order to attract the most qualified and high caliber Nannies, we must not only treat each Nanny with the dignity and respect they deserve but also allow them to be paid at a competitive rate of pay based on their experience and training. In order for a candidate to be approved for representation they truly do need to have a strong desire to pursue this profession. Many other agencies will refer candidates without even professionally verifying their identification, not to mention extensive clearances and certification. We only accept candidates who have proven that they are serious about the profession of a Nanny and this allows our families to feel secure in whom they hire and the Nannies the ability to command a higher rate of pay based on their experience, screening and training we offer.

What is the typical hourly or salary rate for Nannies?

What is your Guarantee Policy?

Although the vast majority of our families use the services of their ABC Nannies far beyond the first year, we are proud to offer an exclusive one-year guarantee period for all permanent placements. Please see referral agreement for more details!

What if my husband or I were to get laid off, would we be at any obligation to the Nanny for the One Year Period?

No. ABC Nanny Source and our Nannies provide a ONE-YEAR COMMITMENT to you. Unlike AuPair Agencies or those bringing in candidates from out of the local area, you are not required to commit to a specific period of time to employ the nanny.

What other benefits will I need to offer a Nanny?
