Hours of Operation?

Our ABC Nanny Source placement counselors are at your disposal Monday through Friday, between the hours of 9am and 5pm.

What is the total number of nannies available?

We have a wide selection of Nannies available for placement throughout the year. Nonetheless, there is a strong demand for our high caliber Nannies, so occasionally availability may be limited. We will never compromise our stringent procedures just to have a larger pool to choose from. Our meticulous selection process ensures that the Nannies in our database stand out from the rest!

In the realm of tax management, an important question to address is 'What is the process for handling taxes? How are taxes managed and addressed?' It is crucial to understand the intricacies involved in the process of tax management and explore the strategies employed for effective handling of taxes. Consequently, gaining insights into the methods and approaches utilized for managing taxes is a significant aspect of navigating the complexities of taxation. By comprehending the mechanisms that underpin how taxes are handled, individuals and organizations can establish robust frameworks to ensure compliance, optimize financial resources, and achieve their respective fiscal goals.

We highly recommend GTM Payroll Services as the company of choice. It is our suggestion that every family who hires an ABC Nanny should make use of this resource. GTM Payroll Services specializes in handling payroll for household employees and has established an outstanding reputation with both our families and nannies.

What other benefits should I consider providing for the nanny?

While ABC Nanny Source does not play a role in determining the benefits, it is crucial for families to offer attractive benefits packages in order to compete for and retain highly sought-after Nannies. Families should consider including vacation time off, typically lasting 2 weeks for full-time positions (with one week aligned with the family's vacation and another week at the nanny's discretion), paid major holidays, and paid sick time.

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

No, the responsibility for the entire obligation lies solely with the Nanny and ABC Nanny Source. Your family is under no obligation to keep paying the salary or employing the nanny if you no longer require her services. All ABC Nannies are required to sign a one year commitment pledge for acceptance, and the agency provides a one year guarantee to each family in the unlikely event that things don't work out with the hired nanny. However, in situations where you no longer need nanny services for any reason (such as relocation, a parent losing their job, or the mother deciding to stay home), your family is not obliged to continue paying her salary. This is a significant advantage compared to AuPair Agencies and those offering nannies from outside the local area.

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

All candidates seeking acceptance into our database at ABC Nanny Source must have a valid CPR Certification. This is a mandatory requirement for all applicants.

How does the one-year guarantee work?

Simply put, if by any chance your nanny does not work out for any reason during the one year period, we will gladly commence a new nanny search for your family and provide support in selecting a suitable replacement. It brings us great pride to inform you that this occurrence is relatively rare.

Do you have bi-lingual nannies?

Yes, it is mandatory for all nannies to possess exceptional English speaking, reading, and writing skills. Additionally, numerous professional nannies are proficient in other languages including Spanish, French, and Sign Language. If you have a preference for such linguistic abilities, kindly inform the placement counselor assigned to your family. They will consider this requirement while selecting suitable candidates for your position.

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

ABC Nanny Source differs from impersonal National agencies as it is a family owned agency. Hence, it is paramount for us to ensure that every candidate seeking employment through our agency meets our stringent screening standards without exceptions. This commitment is crucial to ensure our families receive the best possible experience.

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

At ABC Nanny Source, our expertise lies in providing live in and live out childcare services. Our dedicated team ensures that all our live out nannies are placed within a 30-minute radius of their homes. This means that every candidate your family considers will be conveniently local!

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

No, the focus of all ABC Nannies is to find long-term career opportunities instead of seeking short-term or casual assignments. Our part-time Nannies are specifically looking for permanent positions that require a minimum of 25 hours per week.

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

When "harmonizing" Nannies with Families, there are various factors that are taken into consideration. One important aspect is the proximity for live-out candidates. Each live-out nanny is placed within a 30-minute radius of their home, ensuring that the candidates presented to your family are local and familiar with the area. Moreover, it is crucial that each prospective nanny feels completely at ease with your family description and the specific needs and requests you have. Rest assured, we only recommend candidates who have the relevant experience and are comfortable working with children of your age group. If, for example, you have a newborn, we will only present you with candidates who possess expertise and a genuine affinity for working with babies. During the initial consultation, your counselor will engage in detailed discussions to understand the specific characteristics you are seeking in a candidate, such as bubbly, professional, religious, nurturing, and more. We make a considerable effort to consider these criteria when identifying the best-suited individuals for your family. Additionally, any pets within your household are taken into account to ensure compatibility with any allergies the nanny may have disclosed. Although the matching process involves significant efforts, its purpose is to deliver the desired results effectively.

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

Our 10 Step Screening Process ensures that only trustworthy and qualified Nannies are introduced to your family. Understandably, you wouldn't invite just anyone into your home. This thorough screening process includes verifying all references, conducting criminal background clearances, obtaining negative results from a 5 panel drug test conducted through Quest Diagnostics, checking vehicle registration, professionally verifying identity, and verifying CPR certifications. We take every imaginable measure to ensure your peace of mind when it comes to the safety and reliability of our Nannies in your home.
