Nannies4Hire.com Overview and Review
Check out our review of our top rated service, Sittercity
Affiliated with the nanny industry since 1987, Nannies4hire.com (affiliated with sister service, Care4Hire.com) is a longtime fixture in the childcare arena. Company president Candi Wingate, who herself is a mother, seeks to connect busy parents with caring nannies who can meet their childcare needs. She has 20+ years experience in the industry, and seeks to educate her clients, as well as provide a valuable service.
What We Like About the Service
Nannies4hire.com has a respected service that makes finding and hiring a nanny extremely easy. The site features simple and straightforward navigation that is free of visual clutter.
The search function on Nannies4hire.com is definitely user-friendly. The site defaults to a search by zip or postal code, but you can also filter by type of position, age, gender, and living in/out of the home if desired. Once you have a list of prospective nannies, you can view full details as well as a photo, if available. This much information is provided free of charge to all comers. Subscribers to the Nannies4hire.com service get access to contact information, as well as criminal and background checks for premium users.
The site includes a resource section with tips for both families and nannies providing basic answers to the most frequently asked questions. The site bookstore sells “The Nanny Factor,” written by site founder Candi Wingate, for those who seek in-depth advice and “how-to” from a nanny industry veteran. Considering that Wingate has her own book, the free resources on Nannies4hire.com are surprisingly robust.
We like the transparent pricing information and the “what you see is what you get” simplicity of Nannies4hire.com. TV shows, including Dr. Phil and Good Morning America have sought expert nanny advice from the professionals at Nannies4hire.com.
What We Don’t Like About the Service
While the pricing structure is refreshingly transparent, there is quite a price jump to get access to a comprehensive background check. It isn’t immediately clear how those background checks are conducted, or if there is a rigorous vetting process for posting a profile on the site.
Our Rating Section
We give Nannies4hire.com our #4 rating. The site is comprehensive and incredibly user-friendly, with simple navigation and a straightforward pricing structure. The resource section is rich with information for nanny-hiring newbies. Nannies4hire.com charges premium prices, ranging from $99-$199 for use of their service, which is more expensive than Sittercity.com, Care.com, and Care4Hire.com.
