It’s the time of year when everyone is trying to hire nanny in Orange County but wondering which is the best way to go about it. Finding a nanny directly can be stressful. While it is easy to put an ad in the local papers, or on your local social media pages, you never quite know who you are going to get responding to you. You make yourself quite vulnerable just by putting it out there, and then you have to go through a fairly hectic interview process. You need to get references of all the people who come to see you, you need to go through all their paperwork and do all the legal checks and balances, and the process itself is quite overwhelming. When you work with an agency they do everything for you, for example by only sending you the suitable candidates.

Doesnt a nanny agency cost extra?

No! Using a nanny agency to hire local nanny does cost money. Of course it does. But anyone will tell you that it is 100% worthwhile paying an agency to find the perfect nanny for you, or housekeeper or chef or butler, because all you need to do is the final interview. Any candidate who has been sent your way has already been vetted. Their paperwork will be in good order. Their experience and references will already have been checked and double checked. And an agency will only send you someone who has the right experience, and the necessary experience. A good agency is worth every penny.

A nanny’s work is always going to need to be flexible and you need to chat to the nanny about expectations and the job. When you hire nanny in Orange County, be open, be clear about the job and only employ a nanny that you feel totally comfortable with.
