Matching nannies with families LIVE OUT local placements

At Choice Parenting we understand that this is an unprecedented time that we are living in for both families and nannies. Because of this, we are changing our nanny placement structure to assist families who may be unsure the duration of their childcare needs long term.

LIVE OUT TEMPORARY NANNIES

Consultation and Search fee:
$150

Cost Paid to Nanny:
$20-$25 hourly for agreed upon hours for the weekly schedule paid at the end of the weekly term

Choice Parenting Fee:
20% of the nanny’s weekly pay, to be paid at the beginning of the nanny’s weekly term

Background Check:
A one time fee of $50 paid for private investigator check per individual

This is a week to week commitment between you and the nanny.  At the end of the week term, you may request your nanny for an additional week’s term and pay the 20% weekly fee to Choice Parenting. This can continue as long as needed, as long as you and the nanny are both in agreement of continuing, and the household is healthy. If you decide to use your nanny as a permanent placement the fees paid to Choice Parenting can be rolled into our nanny placement fee ($2750 minus the fees already paid to Choice Parenting).

If the nanny’s household or client’s household becomes ill there is no required payment beyond what was worked by the nanny.  There will be no refund on Choice Parenting fees.

If a shelter in place mandate is ordered and the nanny wants to leave earlier, there will be no required payment beyond what was worked.  No refund on Choice Parenting or private investigation/background check fees.

How this works:
