All Nanny By Design nannies go through a meticulous screening process. This process includes phone interviews, reference checks, face-to-face interviews, and a thorough background check. The background check includes (but is not limited to) driving record, criminal history, and sexual offender registry check. Nanny By Design nannies also attend an agency Orientation and Training as well as multiple additional trainings throughout the year. Nanny By Design also conducts yearly reviews and job shadowing with each employee.

All of our nannies have at least three years of professional experience, provide us with three child care references, are 18 years and older, and are CPR/First Aid certified*. They also go through an extensive background check. They must be passionate about child care.
