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!

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.

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.

The Thin Line Between Rewarding and Bribing
The thin line between rewarding and bribing. July 11, 2017 There’s just a thin line between rewarding and bribing a child. In both situations you acknowledge certain behavior. While your child will enjoy the outcome of rewarding as well as bribing, it’s important to understand rewarding will stimulate good behavior while bribing will not. Rewarding You can reward a child after he/she showed good behavior, performed the way you wanted him/her to or did something extraordinary. Rewarding takes place after the act and can happen verbally, experientially or materialistically. When you reward a child, you name the reason why you think they deserve to be acknowledged and you tell them what they get in return to celebrate this behavior. Example: You are at the supermarket and your child ,who usually keeps running around, stays with you and helps you find everything on your grocery list. You’re really impressed by the change of behavior and you tell him/her how happy you are about it. “I’m very thankful for your help today. You acted very well and that makes it easier for both of us. You saved us a lot of time, perhaps we can use that time to bake some brownies instead? […]
The Foundation of Family First Travel Nannies
The Foundation of Family First Travel Nannies Built by a group of dreamers, Family First Travel Nannies was created on the bedrock that family comes first in all capacities. When we came together and began fabricating the future of FFTN; We wanted to focus on the core values in which would infuse the highest quality placements, as well as the values that would create a culminating company culture. As a team of vivid dreamers, who are also experienced travel nannies and nanny placement specialists, we set out to create a company culture that fosters a sense of unity, self-care, and inclusion. Although we are four individuals, we are unified as one team and have witnessed that we can create and cultivate bigger dreams as a team, than we could alone. As experienced nanny placement specialists, we have seen how the unique business of agency work can be an around the clock business that consumes personal time spent with family and self-care. We believe that through creating a unified team culture we can create an environment that allows us to put our needs before the work that we do, which in turn will enable us to provide the best services possible. We […]
