We are very firm in our commitment to placing our candidates with loving employers & families who respect and appreciate a professional, qualified childcare provider in their home. Our standards are known to be higher than most, therefore, we often place our candidates in many of the best positions.

  For Live-In positions, what are the accommodations available?
  
  At a minimum, Live-In candidates will have a separate bedroom and bathroom. Often, many families have additional living arrangements such as a separate floor or wing, guest house, apartment or suite. We encourage clients to provide a private telephone line for personal use, a television, VCR and answering machine. Many clients also provide use of a computer for their staff.
  
  How long of a commitment do I need to make to a position?
  
  For Full-Time or Part-Time positions, a one-year commitment needs to be made. In the lives of children, consistency, routine and trust are extremely important and in order to develop that type of relationship with the children you care for, a personal commitment needs to be made to the job. We do place Nannies for Temporary or Summer Nanny positions but in order to be considered for a short-term referral, you would need to apply as a Temporary Nanny only. With the time and effort that we place into each referral, we hope that the Family/Nanny relationship becomes a long-term one with mutual trust and admiration.
  
  Where do you place your Candidates?
  
  Though the majority of our clients are from California, we do place our candidates wherever there is a need from a client for a professional candidate. Typically, we place candidates with families who have come to us for our high standards of excellence and for the type of placements we represent. We do not place candidates who are hired through a "telephone interview." Each candidate must be available to meet with the family in person. Most families will "fly you out" for an interview if there is a strong interest in you and you have both spoken on the telephone and are ready to pursue the opportunity further.
  
  What type of support do you offer your Candidates?
  
  One of the main benefits you will receive from a placement through us is the exceptional support system we offer our candidates. We are by your side from the initial phone call. We follow-up with you from the start of your position, organize socials on a regular basis to meet other candidates and network and are only a phone call away from any questions or assistance you may need. If any issue or concern arises during your tenure, we will mediate and attempt to work with both you and the family to resolve and discuss a solution. We feel that communication is the key to success and the more of it you do, the better you will feel. We want our candidates to feel as if they are members of a large "family" of friends who will be there whenever needed to assist you.
