Hello,
WE ARE FAMILY FIRST
Family First Household Staffing Agency was founded in 2017 to help busy professionals in Charlotte, NC and across the country find long term career nannies. Recognizing that families did not have the resources or time to find exceptional nannies, we have made the process simple and seamless. Family First helps educate parents on how to employe household staff and supports them even after the placement has been made. Family First Household Staffing Agency, aligns with the culture and regulations of the Association of Premier Nanny Agencies, the International Nanny Association and has been a three time co-host of International Nanny Training Day.
Our
FAMILY PROCESS
Ready to find the perfect caregiver for your family? Family First is ready to help you, through what we refer to as our “family process!” This process is simple on your end but thorough on ours. Whether it’s your first time finding staff for your family, or you’ve been on the search for a while, we’ll make the journey as stress-free as possible. We’re not interested in finding you any fit, we’re interested in finding you the perfect fit.
SO HAPPY YOU ARE HERE!
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to find Household Staff?
We have seen a rise in the demand for quality full time nannies. Searches can take 6-8 weeks, but many only take 2-3 weeks.
What pay rate do Household Staff expect?
This all depends on the expectations of the candidate. In most states, you can expect a pay range of $25-$35+ per hour. Please check out our job book for reference.
How do your services compare to other referral agencies?
At Family First, we value values. We hand select caregivers, looking not only at their experience and background, but also take into consideration their humility, integrity, relational intelligence and hunger for growth. We believe nannies and other household staff have a unique ability to impact the next generation in a positive way. It’s truly our heart to help create stability and balance in lives of the families we work with and you can expect that our team will hold your hand through this delicate process. Each and everyone of our team member were nannies in the past and know just what you need.
What is your screening process?
We specialize in helping parents find full time career nannies. We require that all of our candidates have three + years of professional nanny experience within the last 5 years, be CPR and First Aid certified, pass a National Background Check, have a clean Driving Record, provide extraordinary references, and must go through two separate and intense interviews with our staff.
Can you recommend a tax and pay roll company?
Employers are legally required to withhold their portion of Medicare, Social Security, and Unemployment from their staff’s wages. We highly recommend HomeWork Solutions and GTM as they have incredible customer service. Make sure to let them know we referred you as they offer our clients a bit of a discount!
How do we value the community?
Our mission is to be a transforming force in the world. We want to do this by helping families with children who don’t always get equal opportunities. We also do our best to help educate families and their caregivers how to create a positive and healthy environment for children.

Why Reading is Important for Children
Winter is upon us, and with the cold and snow outdoor play time for children can be cut short. When looking for something to occupy the kids, I suggest reading. When reading is mentioned, parents and caretakers tend to have a visceral reaction. Don’t worry, I’m a librarian and I’m here to help. It is important that children read and are read to. This may sound like a simple statement, but it’s amazing the amount of people who don’t know why or how to help children do it. Again, I’m a librarian and I’m here to help. First, there are some things you should know. When a child starts kindergarten, they should know about 30,000 words. This number sounds HUGE, I know, but it is incredibly important. Children who don’t know at least 30,000 words when they begin kindergarten may be developmentally behind those who do. School aged children who read (or are read to) during the summer months may gain up to a month’s worth of reading ability over the child who doesn’t. At a certain point, that child who doesn’t read (or wasn’t read to) may never catch up to the child who does. Below is a video […]
Parents: Are you prepared for traveling in cold weather? (with kids..)
You’re so ready, you’re so excited! You’re on your way to explore London with your little(s), you can’t wait to watch their eyes light up as you ride the famous Eye. All of this is so surreal, until ..boom, you’ve been plagued with the reminder that it’s freezing and there is currently snow all over the ground. Do you have the appropriate clothing for your kiddos? The right outerwear? The correct footwear? Are they going to need equipment to snowshoe their way through the streets of London? Forget clothes! What if it gets too cold, what if you don’t feel comfortable venturing out certain days? Do you have enough activities to keep your child(ren) entertained? Do indoor places for children even exist in England? (They do, we promise!) You probably don’t even know what hotel you’re staying in since you’re currently in full blown panic mode. Oh my ..that wasn’t even the worst thought yet. What if your child gets sick? Catches a cold? Decides to cut all of his or her teeth on your two week adventure in Great Britain? Is the Black Plague still a threat? Don’t fret! Don’t leave the precious ones at home! We are […]
Family Friendly Holiday Party Ideas
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The holidays are right around the corner and I’m getting excited. As a party planner, I love helping families plan celebrations that bring people together. That’s what the holidays are all about. And they’re even better when children are involved! Start a holiday tradition of your very own and involve others When my boys were really little I bought a cake pan at Williams Sonoma that makes train cars, and every year I bake and make sure there’s lots of frosting and candy at the ready. We invite neighbors and friends to come decorate while the adults sip wine and catch up. My kids are older now (11 and 14) and they haven’t lost interest. It’s what they write about when their teachers ask for an essay on their favorite family tradition, and our inner circle never misses it. Even better is the opportunity to invite new faces, get to know their friends’ parents, and see the wonder in the children’s eyes when they’re looking at the mountain of candy, cake and frosting as I count down to decorating time!
