Frequently asked Questions about Household Staffing

What is the Agency fee?
There is a non-refundable Consultation/Search fee of $250. This fee covers long-term placement and the use of our "Temporary/Short Term Services".
Our professional fee is 15% of Household Staff's gross annual salary or $3000, whichever is greater. Our fee is due when an offer of employment has been accepted and an agreed-upon start date has been confirmed by the employer and employee.
The fee for our service is due if a candidate is hired, directly or indirectly, by an employer who has listed their job opening with our Agency.
Employers who introduce our candidates to another employer will be responsible for payment of the placement fee.
Annie’s Nannies Household Staffing conducts in-depth interviews of clients to identify specific requirements in order to create a suitable match between employer and employee. In the event that employment is terminated by either party during the first six months of employment, we will replace the employee.

How does Annie’s Nannies Household Staffing screen candidates?
The candidates you meet will have completed a detailed application as well as essay questions. They have a thorough interview with our Placement Counselors and we speak to each reference at length. We do criminal, social security and driving checks in every county in which they have lived.
How do I know which candidates are right for my needs?
It is our placement counselor’s job to make sure you see the candidates who are right for your position. Our clients usually see between one and three before making a decision. We also suggest that you have a two or three day paid working interview before making your final offer to the candidate. Upon making the offer you will sit down with them and go over the contract furnished to you by Annie’s Nannies Household Staffing and at that time agree on salary, hours, etc.

We have been successfully placing nannies in homes throughout the Puget Sound area since 1984.

We also partner with other leading agencies to conduct nationwide searches for qualified candidates.

The candidates represented by our agency must have long-term professional experience and references in their related field. Our candidate pool consists of a wide variety of age, education, and experience. This allows us to offer you a wide range of profiles to match your needs.

Finding the right person for our clients is our job. Although Annie’s Nannies Household Staffing is dedicated to identifying candidates who have the experience our client has described, we also understand that personality and chemistry are a large part of the matching process.
