We create a personalized profile for each candidate to highlight their qualifications and strengths.

Nanny Work Agreement: To finalize your placement, you will be presented with a nanny work agreement to read over and sign if you agree to the terms of employment. The family has an option to use their own agreement, or a work agreement template that has been developed by Charlotte’s Best Nanny Agency?. This agreement is signed strictly between the nanny or household professional and the family. The family is the sole employer of the nanny or household professional they hire. The agency never employs nannies or household professionals at any point, we are just a referral source. The work agreement includes hours, pay, benefits, expectations, terms for termination, and more. The agreement also has a written in 30-day termination agreement, for instances when a family has to let go of a nanny without cause, or a nanny needs to leave a position earlier than the end date agreed upon at the start of employment. This just means if a family lets you go not for cause, then they would give you a 30-day notice, or 30 days of pay. Or, you would give them a 30-day notice, if you had to leave at any point. This is a protection for you and the family. Of course, if you need to leave your position due to a safety concern or other reason where you can not work a 30 day notice, that can be worked out as well between you and your family. North and South Carolina are both right to work states.
Working for the family: Once an agreement is signed, we will exchange contact information. At that point, you will be all set to start working with your new family, hopefully working with them for many years to come.
