What is the approach to handling taxes?

For all households hiring an ABC Nanny, we highly suggest utilizing GTM Payroll Services. This company specializes in household employee payroll and maintains an outstanding relationship with both our families and nannies. We consistently recommend GTM Payroll Services to ensure seamless payroll management for all ABC Nanny hires in Ohio. You can find more information about their services at GTM Payroll Services.

In addition to the salary I am offering, are there any other perks or advantages that I should consider providing to the nanny?

While the benefits provided by ABC Nanny Source may not be the determining factor, it is important for families to offer a competitive benefit package in order to attract and retain highly sought-after nannies. This package should include two weeks of vacation time for full-time positions, with one week coinciding with the family vacation and the other week at the nanny's discretion. Additionally, families should provide paid major holidays and sick leave.

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

No. All responsibility lies with the Nanny and ABC Nanny Source. In the event that your family no longer requires the nanny's services, you are not obligated to continue her salary or employment. ABC Nannies must commit to a one-year pledge upon acceptance, and the agency provides families with a one-year guarantee in case the hired nanny does not work out for any reason. However, if you no longer need nanny services for any reason (such as relocation, job loss, or a decision for a parent to stay home), your family is under no obligation to continue paying her salary. This distinguishes us significantly from AuPair Agencies and those that offer nannies from outside the local area.

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

Before being accepted into our database, all applicants must possess a valid CPR Certification, as mandated by ABC Nanny Source.

How does the one-year guarantee work?

Rest assured that if, by any chance, your nanny does not meet your expectations within the one-year timeframe, we will simply commence a fresh nanny search on your behalf. Our dedicated team will be by your side throughout the process, guiding you in selecting a suitable replacement. It brings us great pride to mention that such instances are rare occurrences.

Do you have bi-lingual nannies?

Yes, it is essential that all nannies meet the criterion of being proficient in speaking, reading, and writing English. Additionally, numerous professional nannies in our network are also fluent in other languages like Spanish, French, and Sign Language. If this preference aligns with your requirements, kindly inform the placement counselor assigned to your family. They will then consider this factor while selecting suitable candidates for your position.

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

ABC Nanny Source, a family-owned agency, emphasizes being distinct from impersonal national agencies. Our commitment remains unwavering in ensuring that all job seekers recruited via our agency strictly adhere to the rigorous screening standards we have set, without any exceptions. This adherence is crucial to ensure that our families have the finest experience possible.

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

ABC Nanny Source specializes in both live-in and live-out childcare services. All of our live-out nannies are carefully placed within a convenient 30-minute radius of their own homes. This ensures that every candidate your family considers will be incredibly local and easily accessible for you.

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

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

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

When it comes to "harmonizing" nannies with families, several factors are taken into consideration. One crucial aspect is the distance for live-out candidates. Our aim is to place each live-out nanny within a 30-minute radius of their home. This ensures that every candidate presented to your family will be local and familiar with the area. Another important factor is that each prospective nanny must feel completely comfortable with your family's description and the unique needs and requests you have. Rest assured, we will only recommend candidates who have experience and are comfortable with the age of your children. For example, if you have a newborn, we will only present you with candidates who have specific experience and love working with babies. Furthermore, we make sure to select nannies within the salary range requested in your family application. During the initial consultation, your counselor will ask questions to understand the "type" of candidate you are seeking, such as bubbly, professional, religious, nurturing, etc. We take this into consideration as additional criteria when sorting through potential matches for your family. Additionally, any pets in your family will also be taken into consideration, particularly in relation to allergies the nanny may have disclosed. The match process involves a lot of work, but it serves a very good purpose and yields the desired results.

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

Maintaining the key phrases, the paragraph can be rewritten as follows: Our thorough 10 Step Screening Process ensures that you don't invite just anyone into your home. It includes comprehensive reference verification, obtaining clear criminal background checks, conducting negative 5 panel drug tests through Quest Diagnostics, acquiring vehicle registration, professionally verifying identities, and confirming CPR certifications, among other steps. We go above and beyond to ensure that every possible measure is taken to introduce only trustworthy and qualified Nannies to your family.
