FAQ

While Windermere Nannies offer our services to the Greater Orlando area, including Horizons West, Dr. Phillips, Winter Park, Celebration, Lake Nona, and the surrounding areas, we have implemented digital systems and extensive customer support and operational procedures to allow us to place anywhere in the United States.

Utilizing our platform, paid job boards, and zoom we can provide you with exceptional services and candidates wherever you may live in the United States.

The engagement fee of $500 allows us to begin our search. This requires our time and money as we utilize job boards that come at a direct cost, our network we have built, and referral services from our network. Searching for amazing nannies takes a lot of time and resources as you might expect – so as a placement agency we must have a fee associated with that to provide the best level of support. We also provide you with our consulting services, nanny interview questions, example nanny work agreements, and nanny contracts to utilize as templates for your specific needs.

By signing our engagement contract you agree to allow Windermere Nannies to charge your card.

All nannies undergo the same rigorous vetting process: 

• We begin with resume review and in-person or virtual interviews to really get to know the Nanny, their skills, likes and dislikes, personality, and the types of families they’d love to work for, so we can best match them with one of our amazing families.
• We verify past employment and references, as well as current CPR and First-Aid training.
• All caregivers must pass a competency exam through The International Nanny Association.
• Lastly, candidates then undergo a criminal background and driving record check.

Windermere Nannies only accept the top 10% of applicants, to ensure your child’s wellbeing, the highest standards of care and professionalism are met.

Windermere nannies is strictly a referral agency, we do not employ nannies or sitters, therefore, a sitter should claim any income taken in from babysitting jobs through Windermere Nannies.
