During this time of economic crisis, families look to save money. In an attempt to save agency fees, some families have resorted to recruiting and hiring their own nanny through online databases or free resume posting sites like "Craigslist." While this may at first blush seem to be an easy way to save money, in the end it turns out to be a costly proposition with far more down side than up. Families have complained of all sorts of disappointments. From being misled by candidates to waiting for a nanny who fails to show on her very first day on the job, the pitfalls are plentiful. We know because more often than not, these families find their way to Be Our Nanny. Unfortunately, they have had to learn firsthand that what "looked good on paper" failed miserably on the job.

In the course of helping these families "right the ship", Be Our Nanny identified numerous red flag issues which we have successfully addressed over many years of professional nanny candidate screening. We are able to quickly recognize specific issues that may not be not evident to families with little or no experience screening nanny candidates. Years of experience enables us to sort through and pick up cues that tell us whether or not a reference is true or real. Many of our clients have been subjected to false, embellished references. This has caused them distress, turmoil and eventual termination of the nanny. Be Our Nanny has the ability to "weed out" the pretenders from the contenders.

Over the years, we have been extremely selective in screening and recruiting only those candidates who genuinely have the passion and motivation to pursue a childcare career. Due to the current economy, we have observed candidates who are just seeking "another job." We are quick to turn them away. Be Our Nanny only recruits experienced childcare professionals. We do not employ anyone who is hoping to "break in" or "transition" into the nanny job market. We are experts in screening candidates for relevant childcare experience, job consistency and the desire to be a professional nanny.

Be Our Nanny is the only agency that requires candidates to pass drug screening before commencing employment in your home. The safety of your family is our first and foremost concern. We are flooded with calls from individuals who call themselves nanny candidates, but in actuality are desperate for any type of employment. We reject these individuals in search of truly professional candidates seeking new nanny positions with a reputable, licensed agency. Professional nannies want to work with families that are screened by a licensed agency and willing to pay an agency fee. They are aware that we make certain that the family they are placed with is legitimate and seeking a long-term nanny.

Educated consumers agree that our process is quicker, more satisfying and yields a longer lasting placement. Be Our Nanny has satisfied hundreds of clients by providing qualified, professional nannies that connect and fit the needs of our families. Our registration and placement fees are reasonable, competitive and fair, and we provide a one-year nanny placement guarantee! No one does it better than "Be Our Nanny."
