Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Does Nanny Placement Cost?
Full time placement is 15% of the caregiver’s expected annual gross salary. Part time placement is $5,000. A $350 nonrefundable deposit is required to begin and is credited toward your placement fee if a placement is made within six months.
Additional fees may apply for specialized placement services.
How Does the Nanny Matching Process Work?
Every search begins with understanding your family's needs, preferences, and expectations. From there, Premier Nanny Network identifies and presents highly qualified candidates who align with your specific position.
Rather than sending a flood of applicants, the focus is on quality over quantity, giving your family the opportunity to choose from carefully vetted candidates who are genuinely suited to the role.
How Long Does the Placement Process Take?
Every search is different, but most placements take several weeks from the initial consultation to a finalized hire. Timing depends on your family's needs, the position, and the availability of qualified candidates.
The goal is not to fill a position as quickly as possible. It is to find the right candidate for your family.
Is There a Trial Period After Placement?
Yes. Every placement includes a 60 day trial period, giving both the family and caregiver time to settle into the role, establish routines, and determine whether the placement is the right long term fit.
How Are Caregivers Selected for Placement?
Premier Nanny Network carefully evaluates each candidate for experience, qualifications, references, professionalism, and overall fit. Candidates are thoroughly vetted before being considered for placement, and only those who meet the standards of the position and the needs of the family are presented as potential matches.
What Does the Vetting Process Include?
Every caregiver goes through a thorough 8 point vetting process before being considered for placement. This includes background screening, professional references, employment history, experience, qualifications, and an evaluation of overall professionalism and fit for the role.
Only candidates who meet the standards of the position are presented to families.

What Happens if the First Match isn't the Right Fit?
Every placement includes a 60-day trial period and a limited replacement guarantee, providing added support if the placement does not work out. The goal is always a successful, lasting match, and support continues throughout the transition.
