What are the benefits of working with an agency?

   
​Every parent wants what is best for their child, and finding the best care can be an incredibly daunting task. Having direct access to a nanny or housekeeper found on a website sounds great in theory, but sorting through hundreds of online profiles takes countless hours, and the range in quality of applicants is vast. Then there is the screening process itself: how do you find the time to talk with all the references and hold countless phone and in-person interviews? 

      You may have used a qualified real estate broker to find an apartment; the time alone that you saved just by not having to scouring through inaccurate advertisements was likely worth the investment. Trusting in an experienced third party to find a responsible, qualified person to care for your child is just as valuable as this, yet considerably more important. 
​
      Becoming a private employer is no easy feat. Knowing which topics to cover when meeting a candidate is just as crucial as finding the perfect fit, as is the ground work for finalizing the duties of the position. Leaving all of these questions and topics to us helps ensure a long-lasting placement where both you and your family's caregiver is satisfied. ​

​We're here to make your life easier.

       Not every nanny or housekeeper gets accepted into our agency, and we do not waste your time sending you dozens of unsuitable candidates just to create an illusion of value. Likewise, we don't just send a resume, but also an entire profile on each candidate, individually tailored to your positions needs. After meeting with you and getting to know your needs and values better, we recruit specifically for you, and send an outstanding handful of candidates for you to interview, and guide you as much as you deem necessary in your decision making.

​       Before we introduce you to any candidate, we verify each nanny and housekeeper's employment history, education, references, and conduct our own independent interview based on your criteria, learning the candidate's developmental philosophy, decision-making skills, and safety training. You can be sure that when you are meeting a candidate, they are a viable person for you to hire, understanding the expectations of the position, and align with your values.

​Successful placements require experience.

      
       A large majority of our clients have admitted the same predicament: they just do not know where to start when looking for the needle in the haystack.

This is where longevity and experience come in. We have over 15 years of working directly with children, 10 years of experience working in private homes and schools as a nanny and teacher, and a degree in child development and education. We can spot an excellent nanny from a mile away. ​

​When it comes to understanding the unique relationships between a nanny, housekeeper, and employer, you will simply not find an agency in New York with more current, hands-on experience than us. ​

Peace of mind comes standard.

When using a nanny agency, you need to be certain that whoever is introduced to you has been fully vetted. Not only that, they also need to be aligned with your family's values, communication style, and developmental goals and direction. At Kith & Kin, we take our responsibility to you and your family seriously, and we look forward to working together with you soon.
