Our Process
-
01. Fill out application
We would like to learn more about you! Share your childcare experience, your unique qualities, certifications and training in order for us to best match you with a family.
-
02. Send your resume
Once we receive your application, we will ask you to email us your updated resume. This will be passed on directly to select families to help you land an interview.
-
03. Interview with Nanny Harmony
It is very important to us that we meet our nannies face-to-face. We care about matching your unique qualities with your ideal family, just as much as we care to match families with extraordinary nannies. We’ll schedule a time to meet via video to get to know you and elaborate on the placement process.
-
04. References and background check
After our meeting, we will begin contacting your references and we’ll give you a heads-up before we do so. Criminal background checks are performed later in the screening process, and are at no cost to the nanny.
-
05. Meet with our families
We will be in contact with you about any prospective families as soon as they arise. We help coordinate interviews with the families that suit you, and we help you put your best foot forward. No stress about negotiating pay rate on your own... we're here for you!
client love
“I could sing the praises of Nanny Harmony all day long! Working with Brooke was an incredible experience.
From the moment our initial interview began, I could tell that Brooke had my best interest at heart. She really listened to my story and paid attention to the “why” for me when it came to nannying. As a nanny, I was thrilled to hear that the folks at Nanny Harmony have a great deal of experience as nannies themselves. That makes a huge difference, and it was evident throughout the process. It’s so apparent that Brooke loves this work and that she also just really loves people. She values the needs of both the nanny and the family, and because of that, I had a smooth transition into a job I love with a family that is a perfect fit! I’m deeply grateful.”
