Recruiting for the domestic and child care industry has become very big business across the world. Agencies rapidly developed to cater for this market. Most agencies conventionally offer a similar service placing all or some of the below:
Daily Nanny:
- Sole charge of small children.
- Qualified and/or experienced.
- Standard hours tend to be Monday to Friday 8.00/8.30am to 6.00/6.30pm.
- Baby-sitting is extra.
- Weekends are free, if weekend work is necessary then the nanny should be given time in lieu.

Proxy parent:
- In the parents absence takes 24 hour, sole charge of the children.
- Has complete responsibility for the home.
- Live in, temporary position.
Night Nanny:
- Will arrive in the early evening and will care for the child/children while the parent (s) get a good nights sleep.
- Many will help establish a good sleep routine for the children in their care.
- Live out, temporary position.
Agencies will take note of employers requirements and will then submit candidates to them for approval. All agencies are obliged to check references, but unfortunately it is not yet law in most countries that they do so. It is therefore normal for employers to check all candidate details themselves as a safe guard.
The fees agencies charge varies widely but mostly they only charge the job provider and not the job seeker. One off placement fees for a full time nanny range, on average, from $500.00 - $1500 in USA. In the UK it is a similarly wide ranging.
Most Agencies will offer interview advice, contract advise and tips on reference checking.
- Using our agency database place an advert to promote your business. Families and job seekers are able to search on location or name giving agencies prominence in their areas of operation. The advert has its own web page and is artistically styled to provide as much information as possible in easily digestable form. Links and banners are positioned for maximum effect. This is a free service to those who have obtained an agency login for advertising.
- Place a sponsored banner and link on one of our information pages. Although there are a large number of available pages we do not envisage being able to offer all agencies coverage indefinitely, therefore these will be in place for a minimum period of 6 months on a first come first served basis. Companies may apply for re-instatement after an absence of a further 6 months. This is a free service to those who have obtained an agency login for advertising.
- Place up to 200 stylish adverts on behalf of families or job seekers in any Country, and at any one time, using your agency login. Maintaining them is easy using our advert maintenance software. Adverts naturally expire after 180 days, and are renewable at the touch of a button. Adverts may easily be removed prematurely if required.
- View well presented family, organisation, or job seeker adverts using your agency login.
- Renew your agency login for a further year whilst retaining any client adverts that might be in place at the time. (temporarily unavailable)
Agencies are provided with their own advertising launch pad where all operations can be carried out with ease on their advert portfolio. Job seeker adverts have a separate launch pad to job providers. The launch pads constitute a powerful tool which enable adverts to be managed without the need to memorise complex proceedures.
We sincerely hope that we can play a part in helping agency businesses to grow, and welcome comments and suggestions on how we might improve our service to agencies for the future.
