FREQUENTLY ASKED
What does the Nanny application process entail?
The first step is to submit an application on our website. Then we will schedule a phone interview. If Elite Nanny staff decides to proceed with the interview process, your references will be checked and then a second interview will be scheduled. We will then conduct a background check. If you are asked to become an Elite Nanny, then we will have you sign the Nanny Agreement.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I BECOME AN ELITE NANNY?
If you are selected as an Elite Nanny we will send your application out to families who we feel could be a good fit. You will be contacted by a family to set up the interview. Once the interview is completed, you will reach out to us to let us know what you think. The family will do the same. If you want to continue your search for a better fit, we’re happy to assist you in doing so.
ARE NANNIES PAID BY MIDWEST ELITE NANNIES OR BY FAMILIES?
Nannies and Sitters are paid directly by families. If a Nanny accepts a full-time or part-time regular position the family is responsible for paying you directly, legally, and for handling taxes. We are a referral agency…we do not do this for you.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A NANNY AND SITTER CLUB?
A Nanny position is a regular position with a family, with set weekly hours. A Nanny position could be full-time, part-time, or 10 hours/week or less (Mother’s Helper). A Nanny position could also be seasonal (3 months/less, like a summer position). Sitter Club offers occasional care for families on a one-time basis (usually nights/weekends).
SHOULD I APPLY TO BE A NANNY OR FOR SITTER CLUB?
If you have regular hours available (even part-time), a Nanny position could be a great fit for you! If your schedule varies or you’re looking for hours that fit around school or another work schedule, Sitter Club may be the best fit. If you take a Nanny position you may also pick up occasional jobs through Sitter Club!
WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF WORKING WITH MIDWEST ELITE NANNIES OVER FINDING MY OWN POSITION?
