Why Use an Agency? – Greenhouse Agency Blog

Even though the internet is a great resource for so many different things, do you ever feel it’s a little impersonal and that people could easily lie when they are online? In most cases, the small lies would not be important, but when a person is trying to hire someone who is going to live in their home and take care of their children, those lies could be a tremendous problem. Background checks and references could only go so far since a background check only shows if the person is a criminal and a reference can easily be faked by a friend with a cell phone who is a good liar, but is there a better way to find a nanny through the mountains of information that the internet provides? Ever wish that you would have an ally that is the first line of defense in helping you find the perfect experienced nanny that would be great for your children? In a world full of false information and lies, there is always a good agency to help you.

Many agencies have been in business for decades and the main goal is to sift though thousands of candidates, interview them, call their references, and do a background check way before they even step foot into your house. They make sure the reference information all lines up. Checking to make sure the address exists and that their phone number matches. They interview them in detail and get a feel for their personality asking them questions that assist in determining their character, their knowledge of the job they are applying for, and their response to “what if’s”. Once we feel they may have someone that can be presented, they will check their references and take very good notes about the candidates past work ethic and history. If they pass that with flying colors, they will be presented to you and if you’re interested a thorough background check will be conducted. After they pass that, they are sent over to you and if you love them then great, but if they don’t work out, they will send more candidates to review. With Greenhouse, even after you choose the nanny that you believe fits, the agency still works closely with you for the next 3 months to make sure there is no problem with them, and if there is a problem then we will replace them at no extra charge.
