Getting Started

nANNY SEARCH + FAMILY COACHING

Step 1: Apply

Call us at 212-888-0688.

Step 2: Family questionnaire, Referral Agreement + Deposit

You complete and forward the Family Specifications Questionnaire and Referral Agreement forwarded to you with a $290 Deposit.

Step 3: Family Interview

We usually do this by phone. This is our opportunity to get more insight about the qualities you want in a nanny as well as a brief job description.  We talk about language goals, schedules, activities, personalities, habits, values, sensitivities, lifestyles, as well as your children.  Afterwards we have a better picture of your needs and can start looking for possible matches.

Step 4: Nanny Interviews

We undertake the labor-intensive search process for you.  That means that we place ads in multiple venues and field calls from many, many candidates.  Those who impress us as intelligent, articulate, and experienced are screened again by an LWFC teacher to check that their language skills are up to par.  Finally, only the most qualified meet personally with Francois Thibaut, and then only one out of five are referred on to meet your family.

Step 5: Job Offer

When you find a nanny you want to hire, be sure to advise Language Nannies™ of your choice immediately.

Step 6: Background Check

At this point we thoroughly check references and hire a third-party specialist to conduct a Background Check. This usually takes about four or five days.  

Step 7: language development coaching 

You, your nanny, and Francois Thibaut sit down to discuss the best way to develop a bilingual child at home.

Step 8: Nanny Arrives

Your new nanny starts caring for your family and brings the joys of language into your home.
