Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How does NanniesAmore.Com Work for Families?

A. It is easy as 1, 2, 3!

1. Register as a family or individual and gain access to our domestic service provider database..


2. Find the perfect care/service provider(s) for yourself and family from our database. You can post your jobs, connect to resources, receive a free voucher for a background check, and much more!


3. Connect with the care/service provider you choose!  When you subscribe to our service, you can view our care providers contact information, resume, calender of availability, and send them messages directly via Nannies Amore.com email system.

Q.  As a business can I use Nannies Amore .com database to access domestic service providers ?

A.  Absolutely.  Many businesses such as nanny agencies, wedding and event planners use our database to access our domestic service providers. We ask that in your profile you create, that you make it absolutely clear that you are a business and state the name of your business.  We ask that you follow the same safety precautions that we ask of our families.  Safety precautions such as an interview, reference check and a back ground screening.  Safety is our number one priority when you are dealing with children, and other loved ones.

Q. How do I contact the care provider?
A.  
Contact is done through the NanniesAmore.com site. When logged/signed in you will have access to send messages to the care provider’s message box. The care provider will respond within a reasonable timeframe. Some care providers will provide their contact number for immediate contact.

Q. Can I preview the care provider’s profiles before I register for membership?
A. Yes, please take the opportunity to preview care providers before you register. You can narrow your search by entering your zip code.  Our system will provide you with selected care providers up to 100 mile radius of your area. To view a full profile with the care provider you are interested in you must register for membership.

Q. How do I know if I have to pay taxes for my care provider?
A. First you have to figure out whether the person you hire is an independent contractor or a household employee.  Household employees are different from independent contractors.  An independent contractor usually has a place of work away from the family hiring their services, has other customers, determines their own work hours, and policies. With a household employee the family usually has control over the work hours and responsibilities.  If the household employee you hire works for you on a regular basis, and you expect to pay that individual $1,700 or more in a calender year, you are required to meet the tax obligations. Employers hiring independent contractors are not required to withhold income tax or make employer contributions the the employee's Social Security fund.  The vast majority of household workers are employees, not independent contractors.  However, some temporary babysitters,or pet sitters who work for many friends and neighbors on a irregular, sporadic schedule are independent contractors.

Q. How will I know when my care provider is available?
A. The care providers profile should state when available on their profile such as their preferred start date,and whether they are part time, or full time. Nannies Amore.com created an availability calendar as a resource tool for families and care providers.

 

Q.  How does Nannies Amore .com work for care providers?

A.  It's simple , and it's free to join our care team at Nannies Amore.com  If you are looking for work as a domestic service provider in your area, then this is the web site for you!   After you register you will be directed to a page to create your customized profile.  You will be able to upload a photo of yourself, post your resume, and active the service(s) you provide.  On your profile you will be able to indicate your days and hours of availability for better communication.  As a registered care provider you will be able to view potential employers' job postings within your area.  You can send them a message of interest via our message center.  Most families will respond via emial or telephone.  

Q.  I registered as a care provider, but can not view my profile via Nannies Amore .com quick search feature.   

 A.  One reason that you may not be able to view your profile, is that you may not have activated your service.  Review your profile again, and check to make sure your service is active or inactive.  The inactive feature is useful when a care provider is no longer in search of a job.  We request that you deactivate your profile when unavailable to alleviate frustration from a family who may be trying to contact you.  As a care provider your profile will remain on file for one year.  Once that year is expired, and you wish to continue with our service simply re-register, or send us a request via the contact us page. 

Another reason you may not be able to view your profile is by omitting to save any new information.  The save button is located towards the bottom of each page.

Q.  I attempted to register as a care provider, then the registration page for families was viewed next?

 A.  If you are trying to register as a care provider, and having trouble the problem may be that you did not select the correct status located towards the top of the registration page.  Remember, you should not have to pay if you are a care provider.

Q.  How can I get a better response to my profile from families seeking help?

A.  Here are a few suggestions on how to receive a strong response from families seeking help.

  • Upload your photo.  Most profiles without a photo will be overlooked. 
  • Make sure you activate your service on your profile, and save any new data.
  • The more information that you can add about yourself the better.
  • Place your resume on your profile, it lets people know that not only you are serious about this job, but professional also.
  • Have references ready or place them on your profile.
  • Respond to your emails, or phone messages in a timely fashion. 
  • Enhance your listing by purchasing our featured care provider package.  For only $24.99 your profile will rank at the top of each search within 100 mile radius of your zip code for one month. You will be highlighted as our care provider of the month.

Q. Is this email from a family a true request, or is this a con artist?

A.  If you as a caregiver receive a request that appears unusual in any way, shape, or form it most likely is fraud. Please do not respond to anyone that asks you for financial information, asks you for money, or makes a job appear to good to be true.  Do not accept money prior to completing a job. Be very cautious of any family not from the United States.  For example, here are 2 emails that have recently been sent to some care providers that is suspected fraud. 

Please can I have your attention for a while?
    I am Dr Charles Quartz working as a system analyst for  DELL COMPUTERS INC,UK.I came across your ad on nanniesamore as a good caregiver for infants.I'm impressed with your work,hence I would want to leave my KIDS in your care everyday as I would accompany 3 other delegates for an inspection tour of one of our mini-stores located near you.The inspection tour implies that I leave my hotel every morning(8:30am)to the venue and report back home 5pm.This would make it difficult to take care of my KIDS,hence the reason I solely picked you up to secure you for the task.
        This tour would stretch from the 10th August  through 10th September.I would want to solely secure you  for this time frame(that is 10th August  through 10th September) and would want to know how much it would cost me.Money is not a problem as I would want all condition conducive for both you and my KIDS while they are in your care.
          My KIDS are just 1+ in age,lovers of computer games,never allergic and are free eaters .I would be sending you their BIRTHDAY PICTURES and BIRTH CERTIFICATE as soon as I get a reply from you indicating your readiness to care for them everyday before I return.
      I hereby anticipate your reply indicating your availability throughout these times and the total cost of caring for them.
thanks with love.
