how it works
TO APPLY:
​
-
Download and complete the SGN Application.
​
-
Provide a childcare resume, photo, current transcript (must have at least 3.0 cumulative GPA), copy of your CPR/AED certification, contact information for 3-5 references in whom you have worked with in the last 2 years (church nursery, daycare, babysitting family, etc.) and at least 2 letters of recommendation specific to childcare who are not the same as your 3-5 references that are also within the last 2 years. Please include how you know your references.
-
Email the application and required documents as PDF's to southerngracenannies@gmail.com Your letters of recommendation can be emailed directly to the email address if needed.
​
-
We personally call all of your references and include a detailed call log in your portfolio.
​​
-
After your application has been reviewed and references have been called, if you advance to the next round you will receive a link to complete a background check. The fee for this background check is $60 and is non-refundable.
-
We contact you for an interview to learn more about your experience and skills. You will be asked a series of questions which will help us determine what family might best match your background. This interview may be via phone, FaceTime or in person.
​
-
After the interview, if you advance to the next round then you will be responsible for attending 1 out 2 zoom training sessions led by me.
-
You will be notified by email that your application is complete and that you are a candidate for matching! At this time you will be sent a nanny handbook to review and sign.
FINDING A FAMILY:
-
We personally match you with a family that could be the best fit. This family will contact you for an initial interview which is usually done via FaceTime or phone call. They may ask for more than one of these preliminary interviews.
-
All families have been personally interviewed and references checked.
-
As the process continues, you may be flown up for a trial weekend with the family.
-
Once a family selects you, we work with both parties to finalize a contract and then it is official!
WHEN YOU ARRIVE:
The family will be in contact with you as they make your travel arrangements. They are responsible for paying for your flights to and from along with one checked bag each way. After your first week, I will check in to see how everything is going. I am always available for questions and help throughout your time as a nanny. I will make it my personal goal to always ensure that you are happy, comfortable and enjoying this experience!
