Candidates Work Directly for The Family
When a candidate is hired by a family, the family is always the direct employer of the candidate hired. Charlotte’s Best Nanny Agency never employs nannies or domestic candidates at any time; we are solely a placement agency. Nannies and Household professionals we place are required to be paid directly by the family legally, by W-2 payment. According to the domestic payment laws in the country, 1099s are illegal. The family is responsible for overseeing day-to-day employment, paying their employee legally, and paying all applicable taxes.

We provide Backup Care and Babysitting, as well as on-call Family Assistant services, for families when a Nanny or Family Assistant is out of work, sick, on vacation, for date nights, school holidays/breaks, or anytime your family needs extra childcare or assistance with errands and household tasks.

Confidential Nanny & Domestic Placements
You will see many other Nanny agencies that post jobs with the title “High-Profile Family or High-Net-Worth Family looking for a Nanny”. While this type of advertising may seem exciting candidates, it also attracts many candidates for the wrong reasons. We NEVER divulge any type of status or financial information about our clients to our candidates. This method helps protect families confidentiality and the integrity of the whole placement process. All of our nanny and domestic placements are customized to each family’s needs. See more information about our methods on this on our Private Placements Page.
