Can you tell me a little more about yourself and your offerings at Sandhills Nanny Co.?
Abbey: At Sandhills Nanny Co., we specialize in connecting families with exceptional childcare providers tailored to meet your unique needs. Whether you’re looking for a nurturing nanny for consistent care or a reliable sitter for occasional help, we prioritize your peace of mind. Our dedicated team meticulously vets each candidate to ensure the match feels just right, fostering long-term relationships built on trust and reliability.
For anyone who’s been following along for a while, how has your pairing experience evolved since you started? Has the matching and hiring process changed much at all?
Abbey: Over the years, our approach to pairing has become even more personalized and refined. We understand that every family is unique, so we've fine-tuned our process to blend advanced technology with a personal touch. From in-depth phone interviews to heartfelt face-to-face meetings, we ensure that every caregiver we recommend has passed our rigorous screening process. Your family's safety and comfort are our top priorities, and we guarantee that we won't refer anyone who doesn't meet our high standards.
How Are your sitters and nannies vetted with background checks? What does the hiring process look like?
Abbey: We take pride in our meticulous screening process! Here’s a snapshot of what it entails:
We start with thorough over-the-phone interviews to gauge qualifications and compatibility.
A detailed seven-year social media review ensures their values align with ours.
Our reference checks involve two points of verification, including tracking IP addresses for authenticity.
Resumes are carefully scrutinized to confirm relevant experience and credentials.
Candidates undergo a comprehensive 10-point urine panel drug test for a safe environment.
Extensive background screenings cover criminal history and other vital records.
Finally, face-to-face interviews assess interpersonal skills and overall demeanor. We leave no stone unturned to ensure we recommend only the most qualified, trustworthy caregivers for your family.
Once that’s done, how do you find the perfect match for our families?
Abbey: Finding that perfect match begins with understanding your family's unique needs, preferences, and values. We take the time to listen and gather detailed information during consultations. Our goal is to find caregivers whose skills, experience, and personality align seamlessly with your family dynamics, ensuring a harmonious and nurturing relationship from the start.
Can you tell me the difference between someone who needs a nanny vs. a sitter?
Abbey: Of course! A nanny provides consistent, ongoing care and often takes on additional responsibilities like meal preparation and light housekeeping, ideal for families needing dedicated support. On the other hand, a sitter offers occasional care, perfect for evenings out or appointments, offering flexibility without the commitment of regular hours.
What makes you stand out from care.com?
Abbey: At Sandhills Nanny Co., we take pride in our personalized approach to childcare placement. Unlike larger platforms, we specialize in connecting families with thoroughly vetted, professional caregivers. Our stringent screening process prioritizes your family's safety and well-being, backed by our reassuring replacement guarantee. With us, you can rest assured that we handle all the details, allowing you to focus solely on what truly matters—your family's happiness and peace of mind. Say goodbye to the uncertainties often experienced with caregivers from generic platforms like care.com.
Do you have experience with the Child Care Fee Assistance Program for our military families to help fund nanny services? What does that process look like?
Abbey: Yes, we're experienced in navigating the Child Care Fee Assistance Program for military families. We assist families in finding eligible caregivers and guide them through the approval process, but be prepared for a lot of paperwork! If the initial caregiver isn't approved, our replacement guarantee ensures you have alternative options readily available.
Who can we reach for more information?
