Information for Parents

Our Guarantee...
Your registration fee covers the placement of a Nanny in your household.  In the event that your Nanny does not work out within the first sixty days, Dubols Home Care will provide a replacement at no additional charge to you for the remainder of the original contract.

Placement Process

Step one
Complete the Employer Registation Form available online and send your registration fee of $300.00 to:  Dubols Home Care, 14440 Cherry Lane Court, Suite 205, Laurel, MD  20707 or download the registration form*, fill out, and send with your fee. 
For your added convenience we do accept all major credit cards.

Step two
Once we have received your registration form, one of our staffing coordinators will give you a call to discuss your childcare needs. 
At that time, we will compile the necessary information, and use it to match your needs to the best suitable candidate.

Step three
The family will receive from Dubols Home Care, a background file on each perspective nanny. With the guidance of Dubols Home Care, the family will choose the candidate that they would like to interview. The first interview with the client will be conducted at a public place. If everything goes well, we will recommend that a second interview be conducted with the candidate at the family’s home. This would give both parties the opportunity to familiarize with one another prior to the placement.

Step four
Once both the candidate and the parent are in agreement, we will draw up a contract between the nanny and the family. We require that both the parents and the nanny complete and sign the contract and return it to Dubols Home Care.

Step five
Unlike other Nanny agencies, Dubols Home Care does not charge a hefty placement fee. Our placement fee of $300.00 is paid upon successful placement of the nanny. This placement fee guarantees that should a nanny not work out during the sixty days probationary period, the family would be eligible for a replacement.

Step six
The nanny starts work with her new family!!

Reference Checks

Every candidate that applies to Dubols Home Care has to submit a detailed application. The application includes a listing of their childcare experience and a list of references. The staffing coordinators at Dubols Home Care will do a complete reference check on the work history and education over the telephone. The topics that will be covered in the checks include verification and performance level of their work history, verification of their educational background, and the most important, is the telephone interview with each previous childcare employer.

Applicant Background Checks

Each candidate that is selected by a hiring family is subject to undergo a background check after they have accepted an offer. Dubols Home Care has procedures in place designed to eliminate any candidate that have emotional stability or records indicating a less than ideal approach to honesty and responsibility. Our background checks includes the following:

• Criminal check in every state that the candidate has resided.
• Motor Vehicle check for driving record in every state that the candidate has resided.
• Investigating candidate for sex offences.

Placements are contingent upon these results being positive. There is an additional fee for background checks.
