Nanny
Our Nanny placement process starts with a family consultation. Where we will come to
your home or have a zoom call to discuss Your family's needs and desires, We review Gig’s Nanny Service policy and placement process and discuss standards for hiring a nanny. A nonrefundable consultant fee is due at the beginning of the initial visit to get the process started. The reason for the family consultation is to allow us to get to know you and the family and to make the best match possible! During the consultation visit, we go over things like the nanny duties and pay rate. We answer all questions the family may have about our service and fees. We also provide you with interview questions when it's time to interview candidates. We talk with families about how to negotiate rates and we discuss what duties the family would like the Nanny to accomplish daily. and we talk about how to maintain a positive work relationship with your nanny. The nanny placement process can take up to 6 weeks on average. After The initial family consultation visit and the placement, payment has been made. We will begin our search on finding the best candidate for the job. By week 4 Gig’s will start sending You Nanny applications and Resumes to review. The nannies we send You are carefully selected as prospects that we feel would be best for your family. For each position we typically screen around 10-20 applicants and our goal is to dispatch to you ONLY the qualified nannies who we at Gig’s believe to be the best match For your family. Gig’s main goal is to take the pressure off of the families and make this process smooth as possible. Gig understood this is a new adventure for a lot of families. having someone new take care of your child/ren that isn't acquainted with your daily routine takes some time to adapt to. and we at Gig’s are here every step of the placement process. Before you meet any of the nannies, we will have screened them by phone, had a face-to-face interview if needed, called and emailed childcare-related references, conduct a social media/online screening, and verify CPR/First Aid and Certification. Once you find a nanny you’d like to move forward with, a full background check Will be done. The background check includes Driving history, county, and federal criminal report, social security verification, and sexual offenders registry check. If everything comes back clear on the background check, It's time to start the interviewing Process for the candidates.

Types of nanny positions are described below.
POSITION TYPES
Full Time Live Out Nanny
A full-time live-out nanny position is where a nanny will work between 30-50 hours per week for your family. A typical full-time nanny prefers a set schedule in hours and would expect guaranteed hours each week.
Part-Time Nanny
A part-time nanny position would be where the nanny would work up to 28 hours per week for your family. Part-time nannies can vary from after-school positions, just a couple of days per week, a weekend position, or any other schedule as long as the nanny is guaranteed a certain number of hours per week.
Temporary/Summer Nanny
This placement is if you need a nanny for less than three months or over the summer. A summer nanny will often be a college student or teacher looking to work as a nanny before the school year starts.
Travel Nanny
Taking a vacation may not feel relaxing when you have little ones running the show! Vacation nannies provide much-needed relief from day-to-day parental responsibilities and give parents time alone with each other. We can assist with finding nannies for vacations lasting 2 weeks or longer, and for shorter vacations on a case-by-case basis. Most parents want to spend time with their children on vacation, but that doesn’t mean you don’t deserve a break every once in a while to see and do the things you want in a new place. Vacation nannies allow parents to relax and do adult things.
