Job Placement Process
Finding a great nanny job can be challenging. With over seven years of experience in the nanny industry, we understand what it takes to create a perfect nanny-family match. Pearl Nannies offers top positions with incredible families, competitive compensation packages, and job search support, all at no cost to you. We’re always accepting applications!
We get to know you.
All nannies are screened through a 7-point application process. We start by reviewing your application and doing a preliminary phone interview. We then meet with you in person to ensure you’re a good fit for Pearl Nannies and to learn more about what kind of position you’re seeking.
We check references.
If we determine you’re a great match for Pearl Nannies, we contact your references to confirm your employment history and hear the excellent things they have to say about you. After all of your references have been collected, we will move forward and create a detailed candidate profile for you. We also process a thorough background check before matching you with families.
We look for matches.
We keep you in mind and send positions that align with what you’re seeking. When you express interest in a role, we will send your candidate profile to the hiring family. When they choose candidates to interview, we will contact you to schedule an interview and offer our support to prepare.
We finalize your employment.
When a family chooses to hire you, we will outline the terms of your employment, including job responsibilities, schedules, and compensation, in a custom employment agreement. We will ensure all parties are happy with the terms before collecting signatures. Before employment begins, we will confirm your CPR certification is up-to-date. Your new position may be subject to a trial period if the hiring family chooses.
We stay in touch.
When you begin your new position, Pearl Nannies will gift you a signing bonus as a congratulations! We also offer an additional bonus on the one year anniversary of starting your position. We will remain in touch with both you and your new employer family to ensure things are going smoothly. We are always available to provide any resources or assistance you may need.
