Childcare is full of questions…

Thankfully, we have some of the answers.

Why should I apply to your agency?

We’ve been right where you are. We don’t just talk the talk, we’ve walked the walk with every member of our team having at one time or another, been a nanny searching for a great family. Our matchmaking works because we consider the needs of all parties involved. We want to get to know you, to understand what makes you tick, and what keeps you motivated, and feeling valued. Only then can we begin to understand with which family and position you’ll thrive.

What do you look for in a nanny applicant?

Our nannies must adhere not only to our standards but also to the recommended practices set by the International Nanny Association (INA), the umbrella organization of the in-home childcare industry.

Where do you place nannies?

Our client families are predominantly based in NYC and the surrounding Tri-State areas.

I don’t currently live in NY or the Tri-State area, can I still apply? What if I’m looking for a live-in position, can I still apply?

Unfortunately not. We recruit locally experienced candidates for our locally based client families for all of our opportunities including live-in positions. Please be currently residing in NY or the Tri-State area to apply.

What are the hourly rates in NYC?

Rates vary greatly based on experience, education, skills, languages, and responsibilities. Currently, we see gross hourly rates between $30–$35+. General benefits for full-time Nannies often include 2 weeks of paid vacation, a monthly MetroCard, personal & sick days and most paid Federal holidays. Additional benefits often include overnight stipends and contributions towards health care, commuter costs, and cell phone use. Some families also offer full Health Care and retirement plans!

Why wasn’t I accepted into your network?

There are many reasons why we’re unable to proceed with an application. A variety of factors are considered such as a candidate’s location, availability, prior experience, longevity, reference quality, and compensation hopes. Professionalism is assessed throughout our process and we reserve the right to discontinue representation at any time throughout the application process and beyond. Only a small percentage of applicants are accepted into our network for these and other reasons. We do not share references with you or disclose any information provided by your former employees with you.

I’ve been babysitting since high school and worked in a daycare center and a summer camp – can I apply for a nanny job?

While this is great experience, we seek career-minded nannies with a desire to work in the field long-term and who have previously provided a full spectrum of private in-home care with a minimum of 5 years of experience. Applicants must have references that speak to a broad knowledge of child development and experience with related tasks such as children’s housekeeping, meal preparation, and laundry.

I have great letters of recommendation but my employers aren’t available to speak to you, can I still apply?

Our vetting process requires speaking with a minimum of two prior employers in recent childcare positions. Supporting letters of recommendation are wonderful and we encourage you to include them in your profile.

Do you have families that will pay ‘under the table’?

We strongly advocate for legal pay for all nanny professionals. Our client families agree to adhere to all state & local tax and labor laws. To learn why legal pay matters and the benefits it provides you, click here.

An Investment In Your Family

Choosing quality childcare is an investment in your child’s future.

You can expect to invest:

• We charge a one-time, non-refundable $400 engagement fee to initiate your search.

Parenting is full of questions…

Thankfully, we have some of the answers.

​​If my nanny calls out sick, do you offer backup care?

Our focus at NBN is to provide your long-term solution but we can point you in the right direction for backup care should you need it.

How does your replacement policy work?

Even in a perfect placement, the unexpected can arise. Our 90-day replacement policy for permanent hires is there for you in that event. We will do all we can to provide a suitable replacement candidate at no additional cost should you need to terminate employment, or the nanny resigns her position.

What are your placement fees?

Bespoke placement is both time and labor intensive. We charge a one-time, non-refundable $400 engagement fee to initiate your search.

• Live-out Placement – 15% of nanny’s gross annual earnings for long-term (3+ months).
• Live-in Placement – 20% of nanny’s gross annual earnings for long-term (3+ months).
• Temporary Hires – 25% of nanny’s gross earnings for the employment period covered (1–3 months).
• Newborn Care – 25% of the NCS’s gross earnings for the employment period covered.

What are typical nanny rates?

Hourly rates in NYC vary greatly based on experience, education, special skills, additional languages, and each position’s level of responsibility. Given the caliber of candidates we represent, we typically see gross hourly rates of $30-$35+ per hour.

My friend pays her sitter $25/hr. Why are your rates higher?

There are some common misconceptions about what a sitter can offer and the gifts and support a great nanny will bring to your family. To better understand the differences, please see our Babysitter vs. Nanny Resource Sheet.

How do I pay my nanny?

The nanny is your employee; therefore, you are responsible for all applicable taxes and withholdings. Nannies are paid an hourly rate and receive their compensation weekly. As the employer, you pay the nanny directly. We do not take any part of the nanny’s compensation.

Can I pay my nanny under the table?

If your childcare provider earns in excess of your state’s annual earnings threshold for tax withholdings, you are required by Federal law to withhold taxes by filing a W2. Not doing so puts your family at risk of serious legal implications. Let us put you in touch with our payroll partners at GTM to keep your family safe, and your nanny receiving professional legal employment.

Do I have to pay my nanny’s taxes?

Every family who decides to hire a nanny is responsible for any applicable tax, withholding, and reporting. Please see Tax & Payroll Services to find information on your tax obligations as a domestic employer.

Where do you find your nannies?

Great Nannies often come our way via word of mouth referrals, many return to us as their contract term ends and they seek new employment and others we source through a variety of well-established industry resources and job boards. In the end though, wherever we meet candidates, they must all go through the exact same recruitment and evaluation process- every time!

How do you screen your nannies?

All applicants are screened in an in-depth 3-part interview process, with 3 individual team members to gain a broad perspective of skills, professionalism, knowledge, communication, acceptance of feedback, and the desired demeanor for childcare.

We speak with and cross-reference, a minimum of 2 previous employers to assess past performance (Past performance is the best indicator of future performance). Along with public social media reviews.

When do you run background checks and what do you check?

We know safety is your priority; It’s ours too. Our background checks are the most comprehensive available in our industry. We check to a federal level: identity research, multijurisdictional criminal records database, county-of-residence criminal research, country level criminal research, state level criminal record and sex offender research, federal district criminal research.

A la carte options are also available upon request such as: education verification, employment history, CPO’s (civil protective orders) international criminal checks, and 10-panel drug screening. Need a check that you don’t see listed? Just ask!

Due to NYC’s ‘Fair Chance Act’, we are no longer able to run or disclose any criminal background check information, including motor vehicle checks (in NYC) on any applicant prior to receipt of an accepted, conditional offer of employment.

What benefits should I provide my nanny?

What is mandated by law vs. what’s the industry standard? We’ll walk you through this step by step during your consultation call so you can customize a compensation package that incentivizes top talent and fits your budget. In general, nannies seek 2 weeks of annual paid vacation, sick/ personal days, major federal holidays and commuter/ travel stipends. Families sometimes offer Health Insurance packages or stipends. Talk to us about a tax-free health care reimbursement for your nanny- it’s a valuable incentive!

Are you insured?

We are licensed by the Department of Consumer Affairs (license # 2017000-DCA) and are bonded and insured.

Your children are your whole world!

A great nanny acts as an extension of you in your absence, supporting your values and preferences, and aligning with your parenting style and philosophies to provide a secure, safe, and united home for your family.
