Why agency?

Having a babysitter for your child is not a luxury nowadays. But the most important issue is how to select good one, and where to seek.

There are several ways to find a babysitter:

1 Through friends and acquaintances;

2 Through internet and media;

3 Through the home personal agency.

Let’s consider each in detail:

The child is born and the problem appears. I need babysitter! OK…. So where do I find one?! I’ll just ask my friends maybe they have some acquaintances to advise. And… here it starts. Everyone around me keeps bringing people they know, and do not know but have heard about and so on and so forth. They are all qualified, honest, healthy and good with children.. So I choose the best and hire her.

Day one – not so bad...
                                 
                          Day two - she is gooood…
                                                                             
                                                        Day three – I am so lucky, so lucky - she is perfect!!!!!!!!


Days and months pass, child is getting more and more accustomed to its babysitter. But I do not feel as lucky about the nurse as may have felt before. There are more misunderstandings between us, she is getting too familiar and I decide to seek for an alternative….

At the same time I am in an awkward situation with the acquaintance who advised her to me. Moreover I can do nothing about the damage she caused, because there is no legal contract or agreement between us.

She just quits, but the child missed her….. and I can do nothing about it.


Or here is another one:

The child is born and the problem appears. I need babysitter! I make decision not to ask for any help and hire her all by myself. I cannot rely on neither acquaintances nor agencies.

I’l just google through the internet or see newspaper advertisements.

Excellent! There is such a huge choice of services that I do not know how to choose. I can save the money and hire perfect nanny.
I select most acceptable ads and start interviewing. Of course, it’s a little tiring but I’ve made it, - I have chosen the perfect nanny for my newborn.

But as it turned out I was not lucky at all…. Baby wouldn’t accept her, and it cries when I leave!

Somebody told me to put the hidden cameras, just in case, to be sure. What as a matter of fact, I did. I can see now why my child does not accept her……. And after big fight I fire her.

Despite of being glad to be able to discover all problems in time, I cannot stop blaming myself. I knew nothing about her, how could I even let her be alone in my home…


And the last:

The child is born and I need nanny. I’d rather choose healthy, quiet, qualified woman who could become a nanny for my child.

I don’t think to be able to find such person all by myself, so I contact a family staff hiring agency. They always thoroughly check their candidates, have a database of nannies it will be easier for me to find a nanny through them.

Even the very first, telephone contact was convincing. I was told that they could find a babysitter accordingly to my demands and job specifications and the service was totally free for me.

Three different candidates were presented to me. Even the interview time was set according to my schedule.

I don’t even know who to choose, I like them all. The agency representative tells me that I can try each of them for 2 days and make the decision afterwards.



As read the agreement draft I see that both mine and future nanny’s rights and responsibilities are thoroughly written out and are monitored by quality control manager

To conclude with, through the family staff hiring agency I have found trustful, experienced and qualified nanny, who, by the way is adored by my child. Within the contract validity period I feel safe and know that the agency will interfere in case of any misunderstandings and if needed will find another candidate for me in the shortest period of time.
