NannyCare.com is a great resource for families that are trying to find a nanny, babysitter, mother’s helper, newborn caregiver or other types of household help on their own. It is the combination of a do-it-yourself online nanny service and a regular nanny agency. NannyCare does everything that a regular nanny agency does (screens the nannies, verifies references as well as current CPR/First Aid certification and most importantly, runs a preliminary background check on every nanny) but allows the families to sign up and contact the nannies directly. Families can buy credits and contact nannies with no monthly subscription headaches. NannyCare also offers tons of free information, articles, forms and tools to help families successfully hire a nanny. The ending result is that families can hire quality nannies for a small fraction of what nanny agencies actually charge.
NannyCare.com was founded in 2000 and has been the main information source for parents and nannies. Whether or not you sign up for the service, there are hundreds of articles for families and nannies to read as well as sample forms to use, such as; a sample nanny work agreement (otherwise known as a nanny contract), sample interview questions, sample medical release form, and sample orientation forms.
