Why Should Families use a Full-Service Agency?

By Colleen O'Connor

A full-service nanny agency is the best way to find the most-qualified candidates for your family. When you post a job on your own, be prepared to eliminate at least 90% of respondents, and likely even more in this competitive job climate. You will find applicants who are unqualified, who provide misleading or vague information, or who don't show up for interviews. Some may have been already rejected by placement agencies. You may also find a great candidate, but why waste your time searching for the needle in the haystack? The best nannies often come to Nannies from the Heartland because they seek the security and top-quality jobs we provide.

As a parent, it's critical to feel secure bringing a childcare provider into your home. Any trustworthy agency should provide a complete background and reference check and share that information with you. Our nannies are thoroughly screened and you are given an extensive file on each candidate before you choose to meet her. You can trust that she is who she presents herself to be. In addition, we only refer candidates who are suited for and interested in your specific position, saving you time.

Because Nannies from the Heartland makes puts so much care into our work, most of our placements last two years or longer. We've had nannies stay with families for ten years or more! In the very rare instance that a placement doesn't work out, we offer a four-month replacement period on all long-term placements.

You can also rely Nannies from the Heartland to provide you with support throughout your search and long afterward. We've been in business since 1990 and won't just disappear as 29 local agencies have done in the time we've been open. We're always available to answer your questions!
