We find nanny candidates through personal referrals, our extended nanny network, local college education department graduates, parenting groups, word of mouth, and a wide variety of other resources. We actively recruit for every job position that we have.

Every candidate that we move forward with has 2 interviews with the agency, we check at least 3 personal references, do a thorough social media check, and require a handcrafted resume. Once an offer is extended, we will run a thorough background check, for things such as - criminal background investigation, DMV driving record, social security number verification, sex offender registry, civil restraining orders, national wants and warrants, and education verification.

It depends on the current market and season as well as your experience and qualifications. There is no set timeline for any given applicant. Every placement is different, and every candidate has their own unique skill set. Some applicants will find a job within a few weeks of applying while others may never find the perfect job.

Being engaged, prompt, and professional throughout your application process greatly improves your likelihood of being offered a position.

If you want to be treated as a professional nanny, you need to present yourself as one. Professional jobs require professional applications. Your resume is the first thing both our team and a prospective family will see, so it’s important that your resume is clear and concise, and your experience and qualifications are shown in the best light. To ensure your candidacy is considered as quickly as possible, your resume should:

List all relevant positions worked, in chronological order from most recent to least recent.

Include start- and end-dates (month and year) for each position.

Provide individual listings for each full-time/part-time, long-term position (no blanket positions, e.g., “Nanny for multiple families, 2014-2019”).

Include the ages of the children at the start of the position.

Describe the nature of the role (full-time, part-time, on-call, summer only, and so on).

Provide details about the job duties and responsibilities.

List your reason for leaving the role.

Explain any gaps in employment.

A separate section at the bottom of the resume for “Other Professional Experience, if applicable.

If you upload a resume that does not contain the information above when applying to a position, we will be unable to move forward with your candidacy.

Instead of having to hand out your references to every single family you’re interested in and to stop them from receiving a ton of calls, we will just contact your references once and have them fill out a referral form that we will keep in your file. This helps us get the information that we need, that we can then pass on to the families, & it saves your references from having to talk to a ton of different people. We think it works best for everyone this way.

While we know it’s a lot of work, raising your own children or helping your parent raise your siblings is not considered professional childcare experience. Working in another family’s home and following their rules and family philosophy is a skill that can only be learned on the job. The families we work with are looking for candidates who already possess that professional experience.

We want everyone to feel happy and comfortable. That’s why we spend so much time and effort getting to know our clients and their families, learning what’s important to them, and understanding how a domestic employee will fit in. The perfect fit—the first time—is not only a goal for parents, candidates, and the children; it is our priority!

In addition, we provide ongoing support throughout your placement. Once a candidate is hired, we check in to see how things are going and offer feedback from the family.

We have a number of resources that can help create solutions for sustainable relationships. And if you feel the position is beyond repair, we’ll help you make your plan for notifying the family.

Nope! However, you must commit yourself to match our high standards of responsibility, professionalism, and punctuality. We expect clear, quick communication, and extreme discretion.

Never. We charge a fee to families, and we advocate for our candidates’ requested rates and benefits (provided the requests line up with their level of experience and industry standards). You set your own rates, and the family pays you directly through a payroll company.

As of 2023, Denver’s minimum wage is $17.29, increasing to $18.29 in 2024. While we understanding having a nanny is a luxury for parents and something that comes at a cost, your experience and years in the career will determine how much you make per hour. I will happily discus different pay ranges with you if you’re confused!
