Peace of Mind. Time. Convenience. Rhode Island Nanny
has started the work for you. By personally interviewing
all the candidates in our database we have weeded out many
candidates who you would have to take the time to weed out
yourself. We are parents like you; each candidate in our
database has to be someone we feel we could trust with our
own children. Each candidate has to present to us 3 written
references with contact information. We contact and talk
to each reference and give you access to each reference.

| What
are you criteria for screening nanny candidates & sitters?
Our first is a natural affection for children. We must see
and get a feeling the candidate actually loves working with
children. You would not believe how many candidates we interview
each month that appears to want to do anything BUT work
with children. Next we find out if they actually understand
the Responsibilities of a Nanny. We have met candidates
who Do Not Cook, Do Not want to drive children activities,
Do Not want to do the children’s laundry and believe they
deserve $20 an hour. You will not have the pleasure of meeting
any of those candidates through us. All candidates in our
database are at least 18 years old. We do not deal with
the teenage babysitters.

| Will
it take me that long to find a Nanny?
The search for a nanny can be short or long. Some families
start the search months before they need a nanny, some start
the search the week before. Our database is constantly updated
the prefect nanny for you might not be here this week but
check back a week later and there is your prefect nanny.
Even after you find a nanny being a member has its benefits.
Looking for someone to fill in for your nanny’s vacation?
Your nanny can’t work the weekend you have a wedding to
attend. Go to our Temp/Sitter database and click onto you
town. It’s six months after you have hired your nanny and
she decides to move to New York with her boyfriend. A list
of new candidates are just a few clicks away.

| We
do not need a full-time nanny only the occasional sitter,
is this site
for us?
YES! We know how hard it is finding a sitter you can trust.
Each of the Temp Nannies & Sitters in our database have
been personally interview by us, have at least 3 written
references. Also we have a comment rating system in our
Temp Nanny/ Sitter database. Read the comments of the families
who have used the nanny/ sitter before.

| If
I can find nanny candidates that meet my needs in the Sneak
Peek why do I need a membership?
In the Sneak Peek you do not have full access to the candidate’s
bio. We have the Sneak Peek so you see if enough candidates
meet your criteria before becoming a member. Remember the
database is constantly changing so if there are not enough
candidates to make membership beneficial to you at the time
try back at a later date. With Membership Access you can
access the candidate’s references and contact them via e-mail.
The Sneak Peek does not allow you to see their references
or contact them.

| What
is a Last Minute Sitter? And why would I need one?
A Last Minute Sitter is some one you will use with less
then 24 hours notice. To qualify for Last Minute Sitter
status the pre-screened sitter/nanny had to pay a fee to
help cover the cost of a back ground check which may be
viewed in their profile. They must be willing to check their
messages often and get in touch in a timely manner with
the families that need them. You may be in a position to
need a Last Minute Sitter if you need to go to work but
have a child that has a slight bug and can not go to Day
Care. Maybe you have a wedding to go to and your regular
sitter canceled the night before. When contacting a Last
Minute Sitter we recommend leaving a contact number in you
initial e-mail so speed up the process, have a thorough
phone interview with them, and schedule to have them arrive
to your house up to an hour earlier then they are needed
so you can both get comfortable with the situation.

do you perform a Background Check and what is included?

service. We request a National Criminal Database search,

& County Court Search.

| Do
we need a contract with the nanny?
Yes, we highly recommend it. It is good for both parties
to have everything in writing. You can use a lawyer or make
your own. Make sure both parties have a copy.
