How Nanny Agencies Really Work

Check out the full post here: https://www.householdstaff.agency/pod... Laurine Mallet co-founded Morgan & Mallet International, a luxury staffing agency that finds nannies for high net worth and ultra high net worth families every week, and she worked as a nanny herself before that. In this episode she takes real questions from Reddit and answers them plainly, without the sales pitch. It is an honest guide for any parent deciding whether an agency is worth it. Understand exactly what agency fees cover, and why the nanny never pays a penny. Learn the difference between employer of record and simple matchmaking, and which suits you. Get the warning signs of a badly run agency, and the questions to ask before you sign. Laurine walks through the full search from first call to shortlist, explains why three references beat one, and shares the matching details that make a placement stick. She tells the story of a perfect candidate who could not take a job over one missed question about a cat allergy. She also answers the guilt many parents feel about paying for help, and why household work cannot be measured against your own salary. 00:01 Intro and welcome 01:14 The best part of being a nanny 02:33 When an agency is really worth it 04:04 How agency fees actually work 06:29 Employer of record explained 11:08 The full recruitment process, A to Z 13:36 Warning signs of a bad agency 17:11 Why the perfect match matters, the cat allergy story 24:04 Questions to ask an agency before you sign 25:27 The guilt about paying for help If you are weighing up the cost, start with our guide on how much a private nanny costs in the US at https://www.householdstaff.agency/nan....
