“First off, I’ve never hired a nanny before so I had no idea where to find people, what to look for, how to know if someone was a good fit fit our family’s style and needs, and even the practical considerations like contracts, payroll, etc. Karen walked us through all of that and made it much less intimidating. Then she handled all of the most time-consuming aspects. She found people in our budget and only sent us profiles for people she’d pre-interviewed that seemed a good fit. It was a HUGE time-saver. Next, Karen genuinely cares about your family and the nanny candidates. She gets to know people, and she checks in often to tailor her candidate recommendations to exactly what you want. Karen and her team were able to find us someone who lives nearby and is studying child development and even has daycare experience! Karen walks you through how to do a screening play date and practice days, what to look for to know if you’ve found a good fit, etc. She handles all the background checks, reference checks, etc. Even after our nanny started, she’s checked in and provided guidance for feedback and communication loops to make sure everyone is happy with the placement. I had a nervous stranger-weary toddler who has really not been exposed to many people because so much of her life was spent during COVID, but my daughter LOVES her nanny and lights up when she comes to play. I’d whole-heartedly recommend The First Milestones to anyone who’d like to use a nanny but is a bit overwhelmed with where to begin or where to find quality candidates. The time savings alone were invaluable.”
