10 Step Screening Process For Washington Nannies

All ABC Nannies must pass a rigorous interview prior to being presented to a family for consideration. Some nanny agencies only conduct a generalized interview upon initial acceptance but ABC completes a thorough evaluation on behalf of the specific family the nanny is interested in working for as well. This is a critical component in making sure the nanny is qualified for your needs - what is paramount for one family can at times be very different for another family with different age children.

You may be suprised that many WA Nanny Agencies who have been providing nannies to local families for many years do not take the important step to ensure that the nanny that they are sending to the family's home is truly the same person that is shown on hers/his driver's license or other government issued ID. Our families appreciate that this extra precaution is taken due to the increased instances of identity theft. This step is a requirement of ABC Nanny Source before the candidate can be accepted.

It is shocking that many Nanny Agencies in Washington only perform the National Background Checks after a family has extended an offer to a nanny. ABC Nanny Source always performs the Background Clearances before the nanny ever is presented to any families. In addition, ABC Nanny Source also performs a driving record for each and every nanny.  We realize most positions require the nanny be able to drive.  It is imperative for your family to know this information prior to making a choice so you are making a very informed decision when determining which candidate is best suited for your family.

In order for a candidate to be accepted by ABC Nanny Source, they are required to agree that stability in every family is important and therefore they are dedicated and fully intend to provide permanent care that will last a duration of at least a one year term. Anyone who fully knows they will be relocating or accepting higher education elsewhere in that term is automatically rejected. With that said, if something hinders the nanny from keeping this pledge, ABC offers each family a full year guarantee as a protection.

As an additional precaution, each and every applicant must submit to a 5-panel drug testing at a local laboratory and produce a negative result in order to be accepted. It is definitely alarming when potential candidates who appear to be very good on paper (resume and application) are unwilling to submit to this type of testing.

It is also an important factor to be sure that everyone you are considering to employ as your nanny is legally allowed to work in the U.S. Each candidate must agree to allow ABC Nanny Source to perform a Social Security Verification Trace.

Each nanny sent to you for consideration has a photograph included in their electronic profile.

Every Washington Nanny must provide a registration for their vehicle to confirm that they have a reliable means of transportation to and from your home. We know that our families are counting on the nannies, and we try to cover every base as thoroughly as possible.

The profiles you will receive of the candidates specifically chosen for your family will all have each of the candidates’ reference quotes that have been obtained. There are full time personnel at ABC Nanny Source that contact references all day long! The complete details of the information given is provided in the individual candidate profile and will contain the information regarding the job description and ages of the children they cared for.
