NANNY SHARE PLACEMENT
Starling Agency is proud to be Seattle’s leading agency for nanny share support. If you are interested in forming a nanny share, Starling Agency can help!
WHAT’S A NANNY SHARE?
A nanny share involves two families employing one nanny. This arrangement offers economic, social, and scheduling benefits. Economically, a nanny share can be more affordable than hiring a private nanny, as the cost is split between two families. Socially, it provides children with built-in playmates and opportunities for interaction, while offering scheduling flexibility for families with varying needs.
NANNY SHARE PLACEMENT PROCESS
Our nanny share placement process is designed to ensure a strong connection and a smooth transition for your families. We begin by aligning your families on best practices, industry standards, childcare goals, and employer requirements to build a solid foundation for your nanny share. Next, we leverage our extensive network to curate the candidate selection, presenting you with dedicated, professional nannies who precisely meet your unique needs. We guide you through every step, providing comprehensive hiring support that includes a custom nanny share work agreement and a complete employee onboarding plan. To ensure an informed decision, our critical due diligence process utilizes professional screening methods and a formal background investigation. Beyond the initial hire, we offer household employment support to align your family with all state and federal guidelines, and we include tax and payroll assistance with free setup through our trusted partner for seamless legal compliance.
