Step 2: Complete Application

Register for Temporary/On-Call Services and apply for a long-term full-time or part-time nanny. Be as accurate as possible with your job description, but if you aren’t sure we can help you pinpoint your needs when we meet in person.

Step 3: Schedule In-Home Visitation

We want to meet the family! The more we know about you, the greater the chance of a successful placement. We will work out a final job description, sign a services agreement, and the search for your perfect nanny begins.

Step 4: Meet the Nannies in Person

Up to three qualified candidates will be interviewed by the family. These nannies have undergone preliminary background checks, had their experience and references verified, and have a minimum of two years working with children.

Step 5: Make a Job Offer

You and your new nanny will negotiate compensation. After an agreement is reached, an intent to hire contract is signed by the family and the nanny.

Step 6: Contract & Second Background Check

Monticello Nannies is committed to placing safe nannies so that you have peace of mind when you are away from home. Nannies who accept long-term positions undergo two rounds of background checks. When the final checks are completed, we draw up a contract that details the expectations of the parents including duties, hours, and specific information about your family’s needs. The contract also specifies the nanny’s compensation, and any benefits, vacation or sick days included with the employment offer.

Step 7: 30-Day Trial Period

During this time, Monticello Nannies is available to help amend the employment contract to include any unforeseen issues. If a serious problem occurs, and you need to break the contract, Monticello Nannies will provide one additional candidate who is qualified for your nanny position, along with a new contract if you make an offer to the new candidate. After the 30-day trial period, you still have some options if a serious problem occurs within the next 5 months. These options are detailed in the service agreement.
