[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh yes, agencies do care and they advertise the fact to prospective nannies.You always get a better rate with the agency, otherwise why would a nanny take trouble and register with them.[/quote] Because they can’t get a job otherwise. I don’t need the hassle of an agency because I’m better off without them. When a parent calls an agency for a nanny, first question is how much do we have to pay her? (Nanny agencies are cutthroat competitive.) So agency responds “Oh, I’m sure we have excellent nannies within your budget”. I won’t go on, but agencies have depressed nanny wages over the years. Yay! More money available for the agency! [/quote] I disagree, strongly. I know several families who pay quite well who only were willing to go through agencies because they didn't have time or inclination to check references, negotiate the contract, and run a background check.[/quote]
