I am a new member on here so this forum is pretty new to me. I have been a preschool teacher for over 20 years and am looking to now apply to a nanny agency but don't know which ones are highly rated. I really need one that offers some benefits (I'm not sure if that's through the agency or through the family) and would like the agency to work on matching me with a good fit between family and myself (would truly love to work with a family that has an infant!). I'd prefer working in the Rockville/Potomac/Bethesda area so agencies that do placements in these areas are best.
Thank you so much for reading and any advice is appreciated! |
The benefits are offered through the families. There are not many of them either, the standard being just 5 sick days, 10 week vacation, and all federal holidays. Try White House nannies, at least to see if they are interested. There are better ones but I want to keep my secret (-:, sorry! |
White House Nannies |
I’m in Chevy Chase and looking for a FT nanny. I offer good pay and a stipend for health insurance (post your email if interested in me reaching out). For my previous nanny and currently, I use DCmum, Facebook, word of mouth, and neighborhood listservs to find nannies. Agency fees are expensive for both parties. |
Agencies fees are reasonable for folks that actually guaranteed and offer great salarie$$$ and benefits. |
I used White House Nannies and Adventure Nannies. |
My former nanny worked for White House nannies and said the pay/benefits were not as good as she expected. She had higher take home pay working for families she met through word of mouth, even when taking taxes into account. |
I guess now we now who's been spamming all the posts here. White house nanny staff, this is really low. Disgusting |
Career nanny here and if the position has not been filled I'd be interested. If you see this OP feel free to respond and I will post my contact info. Thank you. |
Only families pay the agency fees, so they are def not 'expensive for both parties", just for one party and the fees are worth every penny for lots of folks |
White House nannies is horrible for nannies. They don’t offer what they advertise |
“Agencies fees are reasonable for folks that actually guaranteed and offer great salarie$$$ and benefits”
White House Nannies charges parents 20% of the nanny annual salary. We pay $70k a year. For $14k I can easily ask around, post on the local listserv, conduct interviews and a background check. Just because a family doesn’t use them doesn’t mean we aren’t paying a good salary and benefits. It means we have better things to spend $14,000 on! |
Most of these ads about nanny agencies are made and replied to by agency personnel. the WORST is white house nannies. |
