How can I work with your agency if I am not able to meet your minimum requirements for placement?

We do understand that everyone has to start somewhere. However, in order to be a registered candidate in our Registry, you must meet the above requirements. We do offer an option to professional childcare candidates who are not yet considered experienced candidates. We often place "Mother's Helpers" in homes with a stay-at-home parent or team of nannies who need an "extra set of hands" throughout their day. You will be a "nanny in-training," so to speak. Only upon completing two years as a Mother's Helper with the highest of recommendation, will you then be considered for a nanny position through our agency. This option enables you to gain the necessary experience our clients are seeking in prospective candidates. We would also suggest that if you are not open to a position as a Mother's Helper, you research and register with other reputable domestic placement agencies who do not request the same minimum requirements.  Upon completion of your three years of experience, we welcome you to re-apply for admission into our Registry.

If you are concerned about whether or not you have the level of experience we are looking for, call or E-mail us, don't make assumptions! Often prospective candidates assume they are lacking in a particular area and are pleasantly surprised when they call to find out they are more than qualified.
