The city of Boston is an absolutely beautiful and amazing city. You've got great historic sites, amazing food and shopping, and fun places for children and family to visit all in one city. But when you're looking for a Boston nanny, the city may seem a little too big, as there are many nannies and babysitters who are looking for employment in the city. If, for instance, you are to put the phrase "nanny service agency, Boston" into a search engine, you'll find many nanny agencies who supply nannies and babysitters for the Boston area. How can you know which nanny service is one that you can trust?

NannyPro

NannyPro.com is a nanny service that many parents find trustworthy because it was started by a parent! The NannyPro company was formed when the founder, Carolin Soldo, realized how difficult it was to find a caregiver for her child. She had a three month old son at the time and realized that the process of finding a trustworthy nanny who matched her family's needs was much more difficult than she'd thought it was going to be. She then decided to start NannyPro in order to help people, like those looking for Boston nannies, to be able to find the ideal match for their home without having to stress out as much as she did.

The Selection Process

The NannyPro team takes a lot of care when they are looking at the caregivers that they are going to post on their website. The all-mom team reviews every profile before it posts them to the website. It then offers four different types of background checks in order to screen the caregiver. These checks are given by Acxiom, a leader in background checking services. Parents can then elect to get a copy of a free background check if the agency has it on file, or they can use Acxiom through the NannyPro site to request a more extensive background check on the prospective nanny or babysitter.

NannyPro, however, is much more than just your typical online nanny services. Yes, it does help parents to locate nannies, but it does so much more than that. It lists high quality nannies by having them complete the International Nanny Association Nanny Basic Skills Exam. This is a 40 question timed assessment that is designed to test the nanny or babysitter's knowledge in nutrition, safety, health, professionalism, and child development. Nannies are also encouraged to describe their childcare experience in detail and all of the other services (such as pet walking) that they would be willing to do.

The NannyPro site also offers paid members the Complete NannyPro Hiring Guide for free. This guide is a manual that gives excellent advice on how to find the perfect caregiver. It gives parents questions that they can use to help them interview potential nannies, and it provides information on nanny taxes as well as a sample work agreement. This manual is designed to make it much easier for parents to get through the hiring process correctly the first time.

Best of all, the NannyPro site is very easy to get started on. If you're looking for a Boston nanny, you simply register, and then you are able to search through the city in order to find eligible nannies and caregivers in the area. You can then save profiles in order to contact them later, or you can contact them immediately. You can even post a job on the community board on the site in order to let nannies and babysitters find you, cutting your work in half.

Not only does the NannyPro site offer a membership for a fraction of the price of what you'd pay on other nanny agencies, it also has a guarantee. If you do not find someone to hire before your membership expires, then they give you another 30 day membership for free, making NannyPro a site that truly is there for parents.
