Committed to Recruiting Excellence

Good is not good enough when it comes to the person who works in your home. We wholeheartedly agree. Every potential candidate who applies with our agency is thoroughly evaluated and carefully vetted.

Our rigorous applicant screening process, refined over three decades, is designed to identify individuals who have the passion, character, and experience needed to do the job well and weed out the rest. Less than 10% of applicants make the cut.

Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely! Contact our office to speak with our trained consultants who’ll help you determine which type of childcare provider or household employee best fits your family’s unique needs.

Our three decades of success stems from a multi-faceted approach to candidate recruitment. While we leverage every recruiting resource available to us, a remarkable 60+% of our annual placements consist of repeat candidates (on their 2nd, 3rd, or 4th+ placement!) and word-of-mouth referrals from other happy nannies and household staff.

Thirty years of supporting the local nanny community through networking and educational events has allowed us to cultivate a comprehensive, curated candidate pool. By fostering trust and delivering unparalleled service, we’ve become the go-to agency for candidates seeking rewarding long-term nanny+ positions. 

ABSOLUTELY! 100% yes! Vetting and identifying a great babysitter, nanny, family assistant, private educator or household employee is about so much more than checking a few references and running a background check.

Our applicant screening process, refined over the years, is designed to identify individuals who have the passion, character, and experience needed to do this job well and weed out the rest.  Rigorous and uncompromising, less than 10% of all candidates are asked to join the ABC roster.  Lower-quality candidates tend to choose the path of least resistance, such as online job boards, Facebook groups, and referrals. You can learn more about our comprehensive screening process HERE

Our goal is to make the hiring experience as efficient and as seamless as possible for all of our clients. Unlike daycares or housekeeping services that often have substantial waitlists – some upwards of 6-12+ months – hiring through ABC is much quicker.  

While it’s advisable to start your search earlier rather than later, 4-8 weeks lead time is ideal for most positions (specialized positions, such as NCS/night nurses take longer). Starting early allows us ample time to recruit specifically for your position, and ensures you have plenty of time to interview potential matches and make a well-informed decision without feeling rushed. 

But not to worry, if you’re short on time, we can help you too! 

At ABC, our commitment is to provide unparalleled in-home staffing solutions tailored to fit your family’s unique needs. The cost of hiring through our agency varies based on the type of employee you are looking for. During our initial call, we’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of your needs and provide a clear overview of the associated costs. 

As for our placement fees, we believe in transparency. Our fees are competitive with other well-established, reputable agencies across the country and reflect the premium quality of the service provided. You can find more information on all of our placement fees, guarantees and benefits HERE.  

Great question! When you hire a nanny or household employee through ABC, in the eyes of the IRS you’re now a household employer. While there are a few exceptions – including our temporary nannies (who are our employees) and Newborn Care Specialists – your family will be responsible for paying your new employee directly, withholding taxes, paying employer taxes and more.

We know, it sound daunting. But it’s easy …honestly, it is. We work closely with the top payroll and tax companies in the industry who will walk you through every step.
