Frequently Asked Questions

From registration to hiring, how long does the usual duration of this process take?

Every household's experience will vary when it comes to this matter. Our observation indicates that most families go through a process of reviewing three to five candidates before hiring a Nanny. We are committed to providing ongoing support to help you find the perfect candidate for your family as efficiently as possible!

Hours of Operation?

Our placement counselors at ABC Nanny Source are ready to assist you Monday through Friday between the hours of 9am and 5pm.

Is there a large number of nannies available?

We always have a wide range of Nannies available for placement throughout the year. However, the demand for our exceptional high caliber Nannies is high, so their availability may sometimes be limited. We remain committed to our rigorous selection process and will never compromise our standards just to increase the number of Nannies in our database. This careful selection sets our Nannies apart from others in the industry.

How are taxes typically managed and dealt with? What is the process for handling taxes?

One company that we highly recommend is GTM Payroll Services. We strongly advise every family who hires an ABC Nanny to make use of their services. GTM Payroll Services specializes in household employee payroll and has an exceptional relationship with both our families and nannies!

Are there any additional perks or advantages that I should consider offering the nanny?

ABC Nanny Source does not have the authority to determine the benefits. However, it is important for families to consider offering a benefit package that includes vacation time off, typically 2 weeks for full-time nannies (with one week coinciding with the family vacation and one week at the nanny's discretion), paid major holidays, and paid sick leave. This will enable families to be competitive in hiring and retaining highly sought-after nannies.

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. If the need for her services no longer exists, your family is not obligated to maintain her salary or employment. ABC Nannies are required to sign a one-year commitment pledge to be considered, and the agency provides each family with a one-year guarantee in the unlikely event that the hired nanny proves incompatible. However, your family is not obliged to continue her salary if you no longer require her services for any reason, such as relocation, a parent's layoff, or a decision by the mother to stay at home. This feature is a significant advantage compared to AuPair Agencies and those that offer nannies from outside the local area.

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

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

How does the one-year guarantee work?

Simply put, in the rare event that your nanny does not work out for any reason during the duration of one year, we will gladly begin a fresh nanny search for your family and provide support in choosing a suitable replacement. It brings us great pride to say that this occurrence is quite infrequent!

Do you have bi-lingual nannies?

When working with our placement counselor, it is important to note that fluency in English is a mandatory requirement for all nannies. Additionally, a significant number of our professional nannies are also proficient in languages such as Spanish, French, and even Sign Language. If you have a preference for a nanny who can speak any of these languages, please make sure to inform the placement counselor assigned to your family. This way, she can take this into consideration when selecting suitable candidates for your position.

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

ABC Nanny Source, a family-owned agency, ensures that each candidate seeking employment through our agency meets the rigorous screening standards we have established. We firmly believe in upholding these standards without any exceptions, as it is crucial for us to deliver the finest experience to our families. Unlike impersonal national agencies, we prioritize creating a personal and exceptional experience for all involved.

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

ABC Nanny Source is an expert in providing both live-in and live-out childcare services. We ensure that all our live-out nannies are placed within a convenient 30-minute distance from their homes. This means that every candidate your family considers will be extremely local!

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

All ABC Nannies are motivated by career opportunities rather than temporary or occasional tasks, making it clear that no short-term or casual assignments are sought after. Our part-time Nannies with permanent positions, on the other hand, have a requirement of at least 25 hours per week.

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

There are several factors that come into play when "harmonizing" Nannies with Families. One crucial aspect is the distance for live out candidates. Each live out nanny is carefully placed within a 30-minute radius of their home, ensuring that candidates presented to your family are local and familiar with the area. Another key consideration is that each prospective nanny needs to feel completely comfortable with your family's description, as well as the unique needs and requests you have. Rest assured, we will only recommend candidates who have relevant experience and are well-acquainted with the age of your children. For instance, if you have a newborn, we will exclusively present candidates who possess specific expertise and a genuine love for working with babies. Furthermore, your counselor will work diligently to match nannies with your specified salary range, ensuring a close alignment with your family's expectations. During the initial consultation, your counselor will ask questions about the type of candidate you are seeking - be it bubbly, professional, religious, nurturing, or other qualities - and this criteria will also be taken into account when evaluating potential matches. Additionally, we consider any pets your family may have that could potentially affect a nanny's allergies, if disclosed. The matching process is thorough and meticulous, but it is all done with a worthwhile purpose in mind, yielding the desired results.

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

Our meticulous 10 Step Screening Process ensures that we do not invite just anyone into your home. This process involves thorough verification of all references, obtaining clearances from criminal background checks, conducting negative 5 panel drug tests through Quest Diagnostics, obtaining Vehicle Registrations, professionally verifying identities, and confirming CPR Certifications. We take every imaginable measure to ensure that only trustworthy and qualified Nannies are introduced to your family.
