Hire a Nanny in Portland with Pearl Nannies | Portland Nanny Agency

Hiring a nanny, especially as a first-time parent, can be overwhelming. It takes countless hours to sift through applicants, coordinate interviews, speak to references, run background checks, and negotiate contracts.

When you work with Pearl Nannies to hire a nanny in Portland, the process is simple:

  1. Schedule a consultation.
  2. Meet ideal candidates.
  3. Hire your favorite.

Our specialty is creating matches between nannies and families that are made to last. We simplify the nanny hiring process by handling all of the details for you, so you can focus on choosing the right fit for your family.

We get to know your family.

We review your consultation form and meet with you to learn more about what your family is looking for in a nanny. We’ll define the logistics of your role, talk about your household and routines, and discuss the qualities you’d like to see in your nanny. We then create a custom job description to find ideal matches for your family.

We find the best nannies for your role.

We look for matches within our existing candidate pool, as well as screen new applicants that would be a great fit for your role. As one of the most selective nanny agencies in Portland, we screen every Pearl Nannies candidate through a 9-point application process: two rounds of agency interviews (including an in-person interview), professional reference collection, highest level of education verification, CPR status verification, vaccination status verification, online presence screening, and thorough background checks. All of our candidates are highly qualified and hire-ready.

We schedule your interviews.

When we find the best matches for your role, we provide a curated selection of candidate profiles for your review. We schedule your interviews with your favorite candidates and stay in touch to provide support and receive feedback. We serve as a liaison throughout the interview and hiring process, so you won’t do any back and forth with any candidates. You’ll make the final hiring decision based on who you connect with, but we’re happy to assist you in making the right choice for your family.

We walk you through the hiring process.

After you make a final decision, we walk you through each phase of the hiring process. We create a custom employment agreement that reflects nanny industry standards and best practices for a successful long-term employment relationship. We also assist you with wrapping up final details, like setting up payroll and taxes and making a backup care plan.

We provide ongoing support.

Our support doesn’t end when you hire your nanny. We will be there to assist with onboarding and ensure things go smoothly. Pearl Nannies is always available to provide any guidance or support you may need throughout your employment relationship. 

Whether you’re just starting to consider your childcare options or you’re ready to hire a nanny, Pearl Nannies can help with next steps. Schedule a consultation to learn more about how we can make your nanny search simple and stress-free.
