It’s back
to school time again. Gosh, how time flies!!!
It seemed just like yesterday when the children were
gearing up for the long, hot, and lazy summer holidays.
With a sense of great pride, and relief, parents would
watch their children match on to the next grade.
Having said this, we are aware that some children
may still be at play school or at home with their
nanny. We have not forgotten them! As
a matter of fact, we applaud them as they take their
very first step or as they say their first words.
The media has
paid a lot of attention to the nanny industry this
year. Television channels such as ABC and Fox
network have aired shows about nannies; the media
has discovered us. With this discovery, a number
of families around the country have called to inquire
about our services and we have enjoyed dispelling
their myths. The most important issue that was
addressed during our discussions was the number of
candidates that clients had to interview before they
offered someone a job.
DHC realizes that
financial constraints might stir families towards
putting an ad in the paper or over the World Wide
Web. However, it is extremely dangerous practice
for clients to hire a stranger from the street to
take care of their loved ones. Although technology
is valuable and important for increased business efficiency,
there are still some industries out there that require
“a personal touch” and the childcare industry
is one of them. We know that our clients are
extremely busy people and do not have the time to
field out excessive phone calls from unqualified child
care providers.
That is why DHC
provides the personal service that our clients require.
The benefits of using our agency include:
- Presenting candidates
that are well qualified for a position.
- Offering a great deal
of expertise in screening out “undesirable”
candidates.
- Offers assistance in
conflict resolution.
- Saves the family precious
time spent screening out candidates who do not
match their needs, and knowing what to look for
as “red flags”.
- Providing guidance to
families during the hiring process.
- Providing the value added
insight of staffing coordinators who have experienced
the process with several families and nannies.
Qualified nannies
also use a nanny placement agency for the following
reasons:
- Their best interest is
represented properly by the agency.
- Preferring to work through
an agency and not respond to ads by themselves.
- Avoiding families with
questionable or unreasonable character.
- Avoiding families who
are not willing to pay a fair and reasonable salary.
- Receiving guidance and
expertise on the screening process from the agency.
Families believe
that the agency has an abundant pool of candidates
and they should interview as much as nannies as possible.
DHC would like to reassure you that we deliberate
extensively about the appropriate nanny for a family
before we present the top candidates to the clients
for consideration. There is no need for clients
to interview several candidates before making a final
selection because this would only confuse families.
Please be rest assured that we work extensively to
satisfy the needs of our clients. If you have
any questions please do not hesitate to give us a
call or send us an email at info@dubols.com.
