Finding the Best Agency

My search for the top nannies agencies in America started when I was looking for a nanny

for my own child. I was Goggling some keywords looking nanny services in my city. I found several companies who offered basic solution such as accessing a caregiver listing

and choose my own nanny all the way to an all-in-one solution which includes background checks, tips on the interview process, rates issues, tax, agreement and more. Eventually

I chose sittercity.com and chose my nanny. Over time I was exposed to similar site's

like care.com and nannies4hire I was wondering who is the best one...?

 

The first thumb rule is simple - when looking for the best nanny agency in America you

need to make sure it can deliver fast, efficient and reliable service. Also, it must have

an online site which is intuitive and easy-to-use. The ones that appears to be the most popular ones among parents should be carefully examined first. So, I Visited some nanny web site for a first impression - is it well designed? Is it easy to use? Can you easily start the nanny screening process? For example, can you type your zip code and instantly get a list of near by nannies that suit your needs?

 

What Did I Check?

In order to name the top nanny agencies I made a list of the things I want to check so

I could eventually to all of them into consideration. I check their history, how popular they are, how much do they cost and what solutions and services they offer:

  • How many families and nannies are registered to this service

  • Is their website is simple and easy-to-use?

  • Does the registration fee fit your budget?

  • Is the agency is well-known?

  • Does the agency offer an All-in-one solution for screening and finding a nanny?

  • Does the agency offer valuable tips which are related to the hiring process?

  • Can you easily contact the customer support by mail or phone?

Overall I want to get the full picture on the services they can offer compared to the cost.

On top of that It was important for me to hear what do users think about the quality of the service they got and if there were happy with it.
