Our Process
Edit!
1. Client Registration & Review - Upon receipt of your application, we will set up a time to discuss what qualities are important to you in a caregiver. At this time, we will review the application together and develop a family profile and job description, paying close attention to family value systems, culture, and other important factors that contribute to your lifestyle. We will dissucss information on current hiring trends, compensation package, tax - employment law, and best practices for retaining your employee long term.
2. Search/ Recruitment - Chicago Nannies, Inc. undertakes an in-depth look at potential nannies, referring only those who meet the needs for your family. Unlike the typical placement agencies that simply match objective criteria from a family’s application with that of a prospective nanny without every getting to know the family, Chicago Nannies invests the time to get to know both parties, enabling us to “make a match." We refer only ideal candidates, cutting down on the amount of time you need to spend wading through applications.
3. Referral Process - After we have identified candidates whom we believe match your needs, we will send you resumes, letters of recommendation and answer any questions you have about the candidates' backgrounds. If, after interviewing a candidate, you wish to offer them the position, Chicago Nannies, Inc. is available to assist you in developing the terms of the offer and in negotiating the same with the candidate. Before extending an offer, you are welcome to review and speak directly with an applicant’s references.
4. Hiring - After your candidate has accepted the offer, we finalize the process. We will work with you to create an employment agreement, or an offer letter and a confidentiality agreement that accurately reflects your needs, setting you up for long term success. At this time, we will also begin the background check process. Offers of employment are conditional upon an employment physical, requested vaccines and positive background check results. We offer a robust array of background check options that can be customized to meet the needs of your family. Our standard background check package includes: a social security trace through the credit bureau to verify your caregiver's name and social security number and provide aliases and residence history; felony and misdemeanor checks for all aliases and counties of residence going back a minimum of seven years; driving record; and sex offender registry. In addition to criminal background checks, we submit an IL DCFS child abuse and neglect history check on your candidate (limited to IL). All information is provided to you for review.
5. Long Term Support and Success - At Chicago Nannies, Inc., we believe the foundation to our success is rooted in the strong relationships we build. This relationship does not end when you hire; we are here to provide ongoing support and address your needs as they arise.
6. 12 Month Guarantee - The most important aspect of our process at is the long term fit and happiness of the nannies and families that we work with. With this in mind, we offer both a refund option and replacement option, giving you added peace of mind when you hire through Chicago Nannies. Please refer to Referral Agreement or contact agency for details.
