Family's Step-by-Step Processes

The Application

Submit your Family Application. This document helps us narrow the field of applicants and gives us a better idea of your specific family needs.

Application Fee:

$150.00 non-refundable Application Fee to begin your search. 

For your convenience, we accept all major credit cards.

The Review

The Family Application is reviewed and we compile your family profile.  We will call you to confirm we have received the information, and set up  a time to come meet with you in your home.

The Family Visit

We like to learn about each of your family members! At this time, the  Client Agreement is signed by the family as well as our Agency.

The Interviews

We will begin sending you carefully screened and qualified candidates to  interview. You may decide to bring one or two of the candidates back on  a "trial basis" for up to 2 days to see if they are a good fit for your  family. (Families pay candidates their regular hourly rate, and our  Agency fee will be waived for up to 2 days). Great nannies are hard to  find! If you find a good fit for your family, don’t delay! Until a job  offer has been extended and the candidate has accepted, the candidate  will be available for placement with other families.

The Offer

If you decide to hire one of our referred candidates, let us know and we  can extend an offer of employment on your behalf, or you can make the  offer directly to the candidate and inform us an offer has been made.  Please remember all salaries should be discussed on a "gross" not "net"  basis. (We can help you through the negotiation process if you would  like). Both employer and employee are responsible for reporting taxes.  For all payroll and accounting questions, we refer you to GTM Household  Employment Experts, who specialize in household tax and payroll  services. (http://www.gtm.com).  At this time you should also fill in the Employment Agreement supplied  to you by our office, which outlines job expectations, responsibilities,  compensation, and terms of employment. If you don’t have a copy, please  let us know and we can email or fax it to you. Once you have completed  and signed the Employment Agreement, please forward a copy to Dallas  Nannies.

The Background Check

The final stages of the independent background check are completed.  Social security number is verified, previous reported addresses checked  (for the last 5 years), county/state/federal criminal records are  checked, past employment verification, and all personal references are  checked. You may view a copy of the candidates file at any time.

The Referral Fee

Our fee for all permanent placements is based on a percentage of the nanny's gross annual compensation (and calculations are made based on 52 weeks in a year).

Our fee for temporary employees (less than 6 months employment) including newborn specialists and night nannies is:
1) $25 per day for day assignments
2) $50 per day for overnight assignments and 24 hour care            

Our fee is due on or before candidate's first day of employment. 

The Continued Support

We are dedicated to providing the highest level of service both  during and after placement. Please let us know how we can assist you at  any time. 

We look forward to the opportunity to learn more about your family's needs and preferences.
