Preferred Personnel of Canada Ltd.is a family owned business which has been in operation for more than 30 years in providing nannies including child care experts as well as elder care experts to families in and around Calgary, Canada. While choosing a placement agency to hire a nanny, there are some basic essentials which everyone must keep in mind.
The first and most important, of course, is to make sure that the agency has wide experience in dealing with different families so that they will not only have a big database of nannies, but would also help the family find the Calgary nanny which is perfect to suit their needs. Besides, another basic expectation from any Calgary nanny placement agency is that they would verify the credentials of the nanny whom they refer to their clients. Preferred nannies Calgary is an agency which goes even a step beyond performing just these two basic functions. Some other services it offers are:
” Processing of all the required government papers which an overseas nanny who is migrating to Canada for the job is required to possess.
” Helping the employers make their selection by guiding them through the interviewing process. This is often required by clients who are unsure as to what they are looking for in a nanny and have never done this kind of a thing before.
” An employer’s start-up kit is provided which is infinitely helpful to the employer in establishing a working relationship with the nanny. The kit contains basic orientation checklist, nanny’s obligations including child care and cleaning responsibilities, daily meal plans etc.
” A one-year placement guarantee is provided by the agency which means that if a nanny leaves before the expiry of contract period, the agency provides a replacement.
” The employers are free to contact the expert consultants at the agency any time they want during the contract period for extended support and clearing of any doubt.
Apart from the above listed services, most nanny services in Calgary also undertake their task of screening the nanny very seriously. Some of the steps of the screening process are detailed below for a better understanding of the functioning of a Calgary nanny agency:
” Checking and verifying the educational qualifications and training experience of the nanny.
” Checking with any past employer of the nanny to get a reference or recommendation.
” Performing an identity check, especially on overseas nannies.
” Checking the criminal record of the nanny through conducting state and city searches in the criminal records of the places where the nanny has stayed in the past.
” Check whether the nanny has been or is involved in any non-criminal legal proceedings which may affect her work. If she is currently involved in such a proceeding but the agency considers that the proceeding would not interfere in her job obligations, they may accept her but they would inform the employers of the said proceedings if they refer that particular nanny to anyone.
” Conduct regular and continuing background screenings even for nannies whose names have already been included in the database.
