Simple. Thorough. Personal.
Finding the right person to bring into your home shouldn’t feel rushed or transactional. Whether you’re hiring a nanny, a newborn care specialist, or a household professional, our process is designed to be straightforward for your family, while we do the thorough, behind-the-scenes work that ensures whoever walks through your door has already been carefully vetted and thoughtfully matched to your home.
Get Started → Enroll → We Match → Interview → Day One
STEP ONE
Get Started
Reach out through our Get Started page with some basic information about your family and what you're looking for. This is a no-pressure first step — just a way for us to get to know you and understand what kind of support you need before anything else happens.
We'll follow up promptly to schedule a conversation, answer your questions, and make sure we're the right fit for your family before you commit to anything.
What to expect: A response from our team within one business day.
STEP TWO
Enroll
Once you're ready to move forward, you'll complete a brief Family Intake Form and submit a one-time, non-refundable $500 enrollment fee. This is where your search officially begins.
The enrollment fee isn't a deposit — it covers the real work we do before a single candidate ever meets your family. We learn your household, your family, your schedule, your must-haves, and the qualities that matter most to you.
What your enrollment fee covers
In-depth intake consultation with our placement team
Active candidate search tailored to your family
Criminal background, sex offender registry, and driving record checks
Identity verification and at least 3 verified professional references
STEP THREE
We Match
This is where our experience does the heavy lifting. Using everything we've learned about your family, we hand-select candidates from our screened roster who we genuinely believe are a strong fit — not just on paper, but in practice.
Every candidate we present has already been background checked, reference verified, and interviewed by our team. We don't send you a pile of profiles and ask you to sort through them. We do the narrowing first, so the candidates you meet are already worth your time.
What to expect: We typically present your first matched candidates within 4 weeks of enrollment, depending on your specific requirements.
STEP FOUR
Interview
Meet your matched candidates personally. We coordinate all scheduling and are available throughout the interview process to answer questions, share our own impressions, and help you think through the decision.
There's no rush here. Take the time you need to find the person who genuinely feels right — for you and your family. Your instincts matter, and we're here to support them.
During interviews, we recommend exploring:
Approach to the role and daily routines
Relevant experience and specialty skills
Availability and schedule compatibility
How they handle challenges, conflict, and emergencies
Discretion and confidentiality
STEP FIVE
Day One
Once you’ve chosen your candidate, we finalize your Placement Work Agreement — a three-party document signed by you, your new hire, and Sunshine State Nanny Agency. It covers everything from duties and compensation to household expectations and confidentiality.
Your placement fee is due at this stage, and their start date is confirmed. Our team checks in with you for the first 30 days to make sure everything is going smoothly — and your 6-month placement guarantees begins on day one.
What to expect: Post-placement check-ins at the 1-week and 30-day marks. We're always reachable at hello@sunshinestatenannies.com.
