After the Nanny Interview
After the nanny interview, we follow up with a select few nannies. We will ask you for your references and any additional information we need.
Candidates who better match the family's needs will be invited to meet the family. It is extremely important that you are as happy as your parents.
This is your opportunity to assess the family and determine if you are a good fit.
We follow up with you if both parties feel it will be a good match.
We may ask you for your motor vehicle information and to provide authorization for a fairly serious background check spanning the last seven years.
Nanny Benefits
Our employment agency and nanny recruiting service strongly recommend that families offer a substantial vacation package to prevent burnout. These packages are performance-based and vary from one week to six weeks.
Often, the family will choose half of the scheduled vacation days you take, choosing the remaining days based on your personal needs.
In addition, some families offer sick pay if you have to call out when you have a fever, a sick child, or an uncontrollable cough.
Your nanny boss will decide which vacation days s/he can offer, including national holidays, sick days, and paid time off. Federal holidays are up to the client's discretion but may consist of Independence Day, Thanksgiving Eve, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, or New Year's Eve.
It is important to TENT and our clients that you, the babysitter, balance life and work properly. We want to ensure you are entirely dedicated to your nanny families while comfortably managing your own life.
Personalized Contracts
You will receive a personalized contract developed by The Elite Nanny Team to establish expectations, initiate communication, and set boundaries. We take information from both parties to develop a working relationship.
Your work contract will state your hours, the number of children you are expected to watch, and the family's duties.
It also indicates specific rules the family wants to be followed, tasks you will be responsible for, like cleaning and cooking, and whether you only do the children's laundry or the parents' laundry.
If you use your car to take the kids to school, activities, or appointments - your contract will promise to reimburse you for using your vehicle and paying for gas. In addition, it stipulates how taxes, social security, state taxes, and unemployment will be handled.
Your employer will sometimes cover these costs, while others will want you to manage your taxes.
A contract offers a beautiful working environment where transparency is critical, fairness is valued, and respect is fostered among employees and employers.
We favor an open-door policy, and you are always welcome to come to us if you have concerns, questions, or requests.
