Nanny Agency Jobs

TWO SERIES · TWELVE GUIDES

Behind the agency process

Honest answers about agency applications, submissions and the questions that can feel uncomfortable to ask.

SIX PRACTICAL GUIDES

What agencies don’t always explain

Understand the decisions, limits and stages behind an agency search.

  1. What being on an agency’s books actually means

    Registered with an agency but no jobs arrive? Clarify notifications, your role in applying and the preferences that shape your search.

    Guide: I’m registered with a nanny agency. Why aren’t they sending me jobs?

  2. Why a strong nanny still might not get submitted

    Check the specific role, your submitted evidence and the confirmed stage before guessing why an agency has not put you forward.

  3. What happens after your profile reaches the family

    Separate a confirmed family presentation from an interview request and manage tentative availability while the next decision remains open.

    Guide: The agency submitted me for a nanny job. Why haven’t I heard anything?

  4. Is that advertised nanny job still open?

    Clarify whether new candidates are being considered, a shortlist is underway or your details would be held for a later need before investing more time.

  5. What an agency can—and cannot—negotiate for you

    Compare changed hours or duties with the advertised role, discuss priorities and check the revised offer before deciding.

  6. Has the agency stopped representing you?

    Ask what your agency-wide status means, separate it from one closed application and identify any action needed to update or close your record.

Questions nannies are afraid to ask
