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.
