Our goal is to ensure that every caregiver we present is not only qualified, but also trustworthy, reliable, and aligned with your family’s unique needs. With Boston Baby Nurse & Nanny managing the process from start to finish, you can feel confident welcoming a carefully vetted professional into your home—allowing your family to enjoy true peace of mind.
Step 1: Resume Review
Resume and application review includes verifying that candidates meet all required experience criteria, including length of time in the field, relevance of prior roles to the family’s specific needs, and other key factors that ensure a strong, well-qualified match.
Step 2: Initial Screening
Each candidate participates in at least one virtual interview, designed to assess their overall style, knowledge base, and passion for their work with children. During these interviews, we explore their prior experience while also gaining insight into their caregiving philosophy, adaptability, and ability to communicate effectively. We also assess their knowledge of developmental milestones and health and safety standards to ensure they are fully equipped to support a child’s growth and well-being. We seek candidates who are proactive, empathetic, and able to align seamlessly with family preferences. We also look into candidate’s future career goals to ensure preferences for longevity are a match.
Step 3: Reference Checks
Our team completes comprehensive reference checks, engaging in direct conversations with each reference and previous employer to gain meaningful insight into every candidate’s experience and professionalism. We assess each candidate’s level of engagement, reliability, flexibility, and day-to-day responsibilities, while also confirming the ages of the children in their care and verifying dates of employment. Additionally, we ensure that each position concluded for appropriate and professional reasons.
Step 4: Safety & Background Checks
A comprehensive verification process is conducted, including:
- National criminal background search
- National sex offender registry search
- County-level criminal searches in all jurisdictions of residence over the past seven years
