[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, you have to consider that high quality candidates are doing the same thing- seeking high quality families. They don't want 500 families reaching out to them on Care, Nextdoor, etc. They want to be connected with families who can afford their rates ($32-40hr) and who have already been educated on industry standards, benefits, retention tactics, etc. They want a family to be equally invested in the search to find a great match. Furthermore, high quality nannies have typically worked for HNW, UHNW, and/or HP families who do not have the bandwidth to accept a million reference calls on their behalf. These nannies need to job search in a place where their references can be verified once. The culmination of all the above points is that the candidates you want are searching through agencies.

I (15 years experience, degree in child psychology, several additional certs, bilingual, glowing referenecs, continued education and professional development) and I know similarly from my nannies friends, have not job searched outside of agencies in 10+ years. That is why agencies charge what they do- because they search, find, screen, and then gatekeep the top tier nannies.[/quote]

Completely disagree. I've browsed some of these "top" agencies bragged about on DCUM. The families and candidate pools are nothing special.[/quote]
