We have an extensive database of nannies who are seeking jobs. When a parent or guardian registers to our service and enters all the specifics of the type of nanny he or she is looking for, we can then search our database and send you the most suitable candidates.
Suitability depends on your requirements: do you need a live-in nanny or live-out nanny, a full-time nanny or part-time nanny? Do you require her to speak another language in addition to English? Do you require a valid driver’s license so she can pick your children up from school? Do you require CPR training? There are all things to think about and decide upon when filling out our application.
As for our nannies, we require all of the nannies who apply to undergo a criminal background check, and only accept nannies with no criminal history. We also require that all potential nannies fill out a detailed application and list three references so that conscientious parents can call and make sure all the information the nanny gave was accurate.
It is up to the parent or guardian to call the references, and we strongly recommend that you do not skip this step. References are the only way for you to get an unbiased opinion about the candidate, and to confirm that everything she says is accurate.
Once you’ve called the references, you can invite the potential nanny over for an interview. Since you already know the cold, hard facts about the nanny from both her resume and references, the point of the interview is twofold: to see what kind of feeling you get from her in person, and to see how she interacts with your children (you can interview her one-on-one first, and then bring your children in). If you are satisfied on both counts, then you have found your nanny in Abbotsford.
If you are hesitant about hiring a nanny in Abbotsford because you fear the cost will be very high, many parents today are actually finding that hiring a nanny is less expensive than sending their young children to full time daycare! So sit down and do the math – you might find that in your particular situation, hiring a nanny can save you money!
Here are some figures you should keep in mind:
The salary for a live-out nanny ranges between $10-$18/hour. The more experience and formal education the nanny has, the higher her rates will be (and justifiably so!). Also, nannies who work less than 10 hours a week generally charge more to make up for their low number of hours.
The salary for a live-in nanny ranges between $1200-$2000/month. As with live-out nannies, this large range depends on the experience and qualifications of the nanny. But unlike live-out nannies, live-in nannies also take note of the type of accommodations they have, which could have an effect on their gross salary.
And just remember when you are hiring a nanny in Abbotsford: A nanny is considered a profession. As such, they are entitled to all of the legal benefits of any profession, including a weekly or monthly salary, sick days, vacation days and notice in case of termination. Live-in nannies are also entitled to room and board.
Nanny Abbotsford places nannies in all neighbourhoods in Abbotsford, including Aberdeen, Bradner, Clayburn, Clearbrook, District of Matsqui, Huntingdon, Kilgard and Mount Lehman.
