Questions to Ask Your Philadelphia Nanny Agency!

Does your Philadelphia Nanny Agency require that each candidate that is accepted into your database and presented to families have their identity professionally verified or is this only done when convenient?

You may be surprised that many Nanny Agencies, even agencies that have been serving the local community for several years, do not take the necessary steps to ensure that the nanny that they are sending to the families' home is actually the same person as listed on hers/his state issued ID and the same person who submitted to the drug testing You can never be too sure, especially with the increased instances of identity theft..

Does your agency do thorough National Background Clearances on each candidate prior to accepting them into your database and representing them to families?

You would definitely be shocked to find that many agencies will only do the Nationwide Criminal background check after the Nanny has been chosen. In effect, this means a criminal could have been welcomed into your home!

Does your agency make sure the candidates we are considering are safe drivers?

Many positions require the Nanny be, at the very least, available to drive on occasion. We feel it is important to know not only their driving record for safety purposes, but this can also be a good indication of the responsibility level of the candidate being considered. These results are provided to use during the decision making process.

Every candidate must pass a 5-panel drug test to even get to the next step of ABC's extensive screening and acceptance process.
