Families have trusted Family Helpers to find them high quality, well-screened domestic service helpers: nanny services, sitters services, and housekeepers. We’ve gained the trust of thousands of families by: Selecting only the best candidates for placement. Only 3% of candidates who contact us seeking a position are placed. Having each candidate take a basic skills exam on child development. Interviewing all candidates in person in our office and verifiying professional and personal references. Thoroughly screening each candidate, including Social Security verification, driver’s license and sex offender check. Providing a detailed work history for every candidate. Running criminal background checks in all states where a candidate has lived/worked in the past 7 years and under all names he/she has used. We work with an investigation company that sends runners to the courthouse to review court documents if necessary. Our relationship doesn’t end once you’ve hired a Helper. We are available to you on an on-going basis while your Helper is employed by you. We can answer employment questions and even provide you with back-up care when your Helper goes on vacation.
