Considering Nanny Service

Hi M.,

I recently started a nanny service (www.nannyharmony.com) and my clients have been EXTREMELY pleased.

I dont charge an arm and a leg. Most services charge ~15% fee.

I ONLY CHARGE 1 WEEK WHICH IS LESS THAN 2% and is not due until you hire a nanny.

Additionally, you have a 6 months satisfaction guarantee. I can afford to keep the fees this low because this is more of a passion and a hobby for me and my business is built on lean operational costs.
PLEASE TRY US OUT AND YOU WILL BE SUPER PLEASED.

Nanny pay ranges from $250 to $900 a week. the average is $350. So the agency fee to you is only $350 and for mamasource moms, I offer a huge discount.

thanks and i look forward to helping you out!

I am also leaning towards a nanny and am in search of one now. I found a service called Christian Home Care Associates and they have no fees. they come to your house and evaluate your needs to match you up with the perfect nanny. All nannies have to pass a background check and a test. They work with you financially and will give you a price depending on the number of kids you need taken care of. I can get you the number if you are interested. I'm meeting them Wednesday and can let you know how they are. Be careful with nanny services. Some are not licensed and I was working with one until she just get sending me ladies without greencards and couldn't speak English. It was ridiculous. Depending on what you need it can run anywhere from 250-500 a mo. that's usually with light housework included. Like kids laundry (sometimes yours) and sometimes meals prepared. Hope this helps. Let me know about the number.

I work through Mom's Best Friend which is an option or even Nannies4hire. Good Luck on whatever you decide, I know it's hard. If you have any questions pls don't hesitate to ask. Good Luck to you.

We used enannysource.com. Based on conversations with friends, the agencies fees were high - and the quality not always better than searching on your own. We pay $10/hour. You may be able to get a lower cost - but it will be more of a babysitter than a nanny - or it will be a mom that wants to bring her child with her. (We did that option for a few months - it was okay - but you are at risk for now both the nanny and her baby getting sick. I also think it depends on the age of the child).

Good luck

I think Kimmie meant to say the range could be from $250 to $500 per week. I have 2 sets of twins and I have two nannies; one for each set. I have not found many people willing to work for less than $10 an hour. It is more convenient when the nanny comes to your home, but if the nanny is sick it can be much less convenient (what do you do?). Or if the nanny decides to quit without notice, that's also quite inconvenient. I have used a nanny service before; the cost is generally about 10% of the first year's salary (about $2,000 at least). The nanny quit after 3 months for no reason and I was out that money. Consider www.nannydallas.com, where you can search for nanny at no charge. I have also located nannies via craigslist, and have had very good luck there, but I do check references etc. Word of mouth is also a good way to get help. If you really like the in home daycare, perhaps you want to stay there as long as it is good. I figure that with two children, the cost of a nanny is not such a luxury, as it's not much more than a daycare would cost, but with just one child the cost difference is much greater. good luck whatever your choice.
