Find a nanny

I've known about this place for quite some time now. I, like many others, were hesitant on finding help through agencies because its human nature for us not to trust anyone other than the ones that were referred to us by someone we trusted.

I've been looking for help for my disabled dad for over 10 years and after going through several referrals (and I mean several) and even through a personal friend, we actually found someone AMAZING for my dad through this agency.

The process is easy: you fill out a short application online and pay an application fee. Afterwards, a person will call you to confirm and ask you what you need with the specific details, such as flexibility, pay, etc. They compile a bunch of potential candidates and then you schedule a day to come in and meet them.

After being able to find someone for my dad, I contacted them again to find a nanny for my 4-month old baby girl. In less than a week, they found 9 candidates and I interviewed each of them one by one. As a first time mom, I was skeptical on the process and assumed I would leave being disappointed. On the contrary, I left feeling real content and hopeful. After a long discussion with Stephanie in person and over the phone, we decided to give 2 a try. If they don't work out, she said that I have 45 days to give the others a go.

For those families looking for an Asian nanny or any help in general should really consider giving this agency a try. I will say though that you need to be open-minded in terms of what you're looking for because those with experience may not come with personalities and those with great personalities might not have the experience. I went with personality based on my instinct-- someone I can get along with and trust. Everything else that comes with the responsibility can be taught and adapted. Either way, your preference and plenty to choose from.

Few things to keep in mind: most of the candidates do not speak or speak minimal English. Most speak Cantonese and/or Mandarin (simple and not traditional Chinese). There's an additional flat fee after you find someone, and the agency takes no responsibility after the 45-day trial. With that said, make sure you ask ALL the right questions when you interview.

Happy Searching!
