Who is this right for?

  • Just Gathering Info?

    If you’re just getting started on your nanny search or working on gathering reliable and accurate info this course will equip you with everything you need to know. Maybe you're unsure about nanny rates and still figuring out if a nanny is feasible in your budget. With the Your Nanny Now course, we'll walk you through the price setting process and give you professional, sound advice so you can start your nanny search out on the right foot.

  • Already Mid Search?

    If you're activley looking for a nanny, chances are you're thinking what many parents do at this stage..."this is harder than I thought." The time, effort, and energy you put into a nanny search is like a full time job. Literally (it takes about 40-50 cumulative hours of hands on work). If you're mid nanny search and you're short on compatible matches, having trouble turning applications into interviews, or unsure of next steps, we can help. Your Nanny Now will trouble shoot your nanny search, get it back on track and prevent you from adding to your cumulative hours spent searching.

  • Found A Nanny?

    If you found a compatible nanny, that's incredible. You're halfway there! The next (and MOST IMPORTANT) steps of the process are to complete a reference and background check, agree to terms in an employment contract and set thing up legally so you and your nanny are protected at tax time. This course will give you access to our Vetting and Reference Guide, our Sample Employment Contract, and our step by step Tax Guide (with all tax forms included). This part of the search is where your confidence and peace of mind comes from. The Your Nanny Now course will ensure you have it in spades.

What’s Included with Your Nanny Now?

  • Your Nanny Now Course Video Instruction

    The Your Nanny Now video portion includes 70 minutes of course material that will equip you with accurate information about the nanny industry, practical application of that information and professional guidance to walk you through hiring process every step of the way. The course will cover frequently asked questions, common mistakes and pitfalls and set yo ur nanny search out on the right foot, or course correct a nanny search tht hasn’t been successful.

  • Your Nanny Now Workbook

    The Your Nanny Now downloadable workbook is hands on tools that accompanies the video instruction. It includes every resource, exercise or organizer you need to successfully hire your nanny. Since Your Nanny Now is a GUIDED course the workbook is meant to be completed in tandem with watching the course.

    The work book includes some bonus tips, pointers and instructions in addition to the course material.

  • Rate Finder Tool

    The Rate Finder Tool walks you through the entire process of finding accurate rates for your specific circumstances. Nanny rates are wildly different depending on your unique situation. The Rate Finder Tool will show you how to appropriately assess an accurate rate range for your position. Getting your rate set properly is one of the first steps in optimizing your nanny search.

  • Priority Organizer

    Determining your top requirements vs your preferences can be one of the hardest parts of the nanny search and also most important. Families who have used the Priority Organizer said that it brought awareness to non negotiable that weren’t even on their radar and removed some requirements they thought were non negotiables. Using this tool ensures you have a focused vision for your nanny search so you can effectively (and quickly) rule out non suitable applicants and move forward with compatible ones.

  • Interview Guide

    The Interview Guide includes a comprehensive and efficient list of y interview questions so you can conduct an interview confidently, knowing you’ll be getting a full picture of an applicant’s skills and experience. It also has a planner/organizer component so you can keep all applicants details, contact information and resumes handy. The Priority Organizer also includes space for applicant responses and your personal notes.

  • Vetting & Reference Guide

    The Vetting & Reference Guide gives you a clear checklist for each item you should complete to get the full scope of a candidate. The guide also includes a comprehensive list of references questions to ask previous employers. Not all reference questions are legal and some any specific. questions might not come to mind. The steps laid out in the Vetting & Reference Guide will give you total peace of mind that your kids are in the best hands.

  • Employment Agreement

    A nanny/employer relationship is only as good as the employment agreement they sign. I will shout this from the rooftops for as long as I am in this industry. I have seen wonderful nanny/employer relationship crumble due to encountering a conflict that wasn’t previously addressed or agreed to. Having a signed employment agreement means that both parties have a chance to negotiate the details and everyone feels the terms are fair. No employment agreement or an incomplete one can be cause for serious trouble. The Your Nanny Now agreement is as thorough as it gets.

  • Tax Guide

    Onboarding your nanny properly and legally filing taxes is one of the most important parts of hiring a nanny. The Your Nanny Now Tax Guide will give you step by step instruction for how to correctly withhold and file taxes. You’ll also get direct access to all of the forms you’ll need for legal hiring, federal and state income, as well as federal and state employer taxes.

TESTIMONIALS

  • "We worked with North Sound Nannies directly to find our nanny and their hiring methods WORK. We’d been looking for a nanny for months, and even used a different agency and still came up short. Once we started the search with using the Your Nanny Now methods, we had a nanny in 10 days. That was over 5 years ago and we still have our same nanny. She is PERFECT. We consider ourselves blessed and grateful to Stefani at North Sound Nannies each and every day that we have our nanny in our lives." - Ashley

  • "We really thought we had a clear vision for what we wanted in a nanny, but we hired two of them on our own and we had to let them both go almost immediately because ultimately we didn't feel confident leaving our baby. With the Your Nanny Now hiring methods, we were able to get a better understanding of our priorities and look for a nanny that actually met our needs. And it worked. We feel lucky to have found such a good fit that we feel comfortable and happy with." -- Zach

  • "We hired a nanny using Your Nanny Now and she has been working out great. She’s been building great relationships with the kids and certainly making life easier for us!" - Jackie

  • "We had some challenges keeping a nanny because our toddler has autism and had some really challenging behaviors and tendencies at the time. We felt certain that daycare wasn't right for him but also didn't know how to find a nanny that could help us. We found North Sound Nannies through a google search (thank god) and the hiring process helped us locate several nannies with relevant experience, up for the task. We found our perfect nanny and she's been with us over 3 years now. If you're on the fence about purchasing Your Nanny Now, my advice is to go for it. You and your kids will be so glad you did!" - Anne

  • "We were in a bit of a childcare pickle when our parents suddenly weren't able to watch our kids. We didn't need a nanny long term, just until the start of preschool (about 4 months). We were unsure whether or not we would be able to get a nanny for that short of a term but with the guidance from Your Nanny Now, we got someone asap!" - Emily

  • “The hiring methods we learned from Stefani (owner of North Sound Nannies) led us to our wonderful nanny. We really enjoyed our nanny from the get go and immediately thought she would be a great fit for our family. She was warm and clearly passionate about childcare, and her references were glowing. We have settled into our routine perfectly and the kids love having her. We are so grateful to have connected with Stefani. We would be lost without our nanny!" - Sydney

  • "Before connecting with North Sound Nannies, we had hired a nanny who fell through after we’d invested a lot of time and money in our nanny search. It was a huge hit to us and left us in a total bind. Your Nanny Now helped us secure childcare really fast and not only that, our nanny is incredible. I am so glad we found this invaluable resource." - Mel

  • "We are really enjoying working with our nanny, and things are going great! We feel settled in and safe with her which was one of our top concerns and priorities as parents of a newborn. The hiring process was simple and we felt confident that we were in good hands using Stefani’s hiring methods." - Michael
