Process Of Hiring A Nanny In The Tri-State Area

After contacting the BAHS team, you will be paired with one of our placement specialists – this recruiter will guide you through the entire process. On the East Coast, we have team members based in Manhattan, Brooklyn, upstate New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, as well as in many neighboring areas. Our team members come from a variety of backgrounds -many have backgrounds in childcare, child development, estate management, and hospitality; our dedicated and experienced team help make us the top nanny agency in Manhattan.

The recruiter will first speak to you to gain insight into your unique situation – it is helpful to learn about your family, specific needs, schedule, anticipated travel, budget, and more. We work with a range of nannies with various levels of education, experience, and skills; we can advise on what might work best for your family if you aren’t quite sure what kind of support you need.

Next, the recruiter will send you our contract and fee agreement to review. If you decide to move forward, they will collect a $250 application fee to start the search. From there, they will post the job and send you small batches of resumes from pre-screened candidates who they feel would excel in the position. Clients can interview candidates as many as they’d like, as well as schedule short trial periods to better gauge suitability.

Once a client finds the right match, an offer is made to the candidate; BAHS recruiters can advise on competitive compensation packages and negotiate as needed on behalf of clients.

Confidentiality and discretion are the cornerstones of how we serve our clients. We are licensed by the DCWP (Department for Consumer and Worker Protection) and are bonded. For more on what makes BAHS the best nanny agency in NYC, click here.

Nanny Placement Services FAQ

Do you provide temporary nanny services in Manhattan?

Indeed. We are happy to assist with temporary positions in the Tri-State area, as well as travel roles and year-round part-time help.
Where do you find your nannies in the Tri-State area?

While we connect with nannies through a variety of ways throughout the Tri-State area – through online postings, word-of-mouth, nanny events, and more – the most frequent means is through referrals from both clients and candidates.
How do you screen your nanny candidates?

First, we check all identification and legal permits before accepting a candidate into the agency. We then review the candidate’s resume, references, and education history. Each candidate has an in-depth interview with at least one member of our team, but often many more. We check references and work history thoroughly by speaking directly to past employers. Recruiters speak to each candidate directly before sharing their resume for the role; if you’ve received a resume from a BAHS recruiter it is because that candidate is interested, qualified, and we believe they would make a great match. We also offer background check services and more, by request.
