Our Agency Processes and Fees
Our Nanny Placement Process starts with our client family completing our application below. We will then contact you to schedule a home visit to learn more about you and your family’s care needs. We then commence our recruiting from our pool of nannies or via outside sources to find your perfect match.
The family then starts the interview process from the nanny matches made. Once you’ve determined who you will be hiring, you make the offer, complete your family/nanny contract and set your start date. Once this is set, the placement fee is due to Suncoast.
