We have heard some pretty alarming horror stories from candidates who found a position on their own. Even when both parties walk in with the best intentions, it is SO common for things to go sideways in terms of expectations, communication, boundaries, professionalism, and more. Working with an agency like Mom’s Best Friend can save you so many headaches!
Here are some reasons job seekers prefer working with us, and as always, our job placements are COMPLETELY FREE for you!
- You Get Support and Guidance in Your Job Search: We ensure the job placement is perfect for you. Once you’ve gone through the screening process, the hard part is out of the way, and you can apply for positions that match your experience and personality! We will put your best foot forward by polishing your profile, and will facilitate all interviews and trial time in order for you to choose the right fit.
- You Have Access to Personalized Coaching: Our Staffing Specialists offer helpful tips and individual coaching sessions to improve your portfolios, headshots, interview skills, and more!
- Our Clients Respect Your Expertise and Have Realistic Expectations: You deserve competitive compensation and benefits, as well as realistic expectations. We make sure that our client families are informed about industry standards, market rates, and what is reasonable for responsibilities.
- You Avoid Unnecessary Conflict: We provide employment agreements and payroll resources (to ensure legal pay), and we educate clients on guaranteed hours, overtime, and travel pay. This helps you avoid uncomfortable conversations because everything is spelled out from the beginning.
- We are Available Post-Placement: Sometimes you need a problem solved, sometimes you need to bounce a situation off of someone who “gets it”, or maybe, you just need a place to vent if you have had a rough day. We are here for the long-run, and we want to support you however you need our help!
- We Pay You Referral Bonuses: You most likely have some wonderful acquaintances that you have met over the years. We want to work with them on their job search as well, and we will pay you if they are placed!
- You Can Reactivate Quickly: Most of our placed candidates return to us because 1) they had a great experience during their initial screening and job search, 2) they know we have the top jobs in the city, and 3) we like to make it as easy as possible to get reactivated and sent back out for interviews!
- Nannies: Every year, we support our nannies with an International Nanny Training Day event (April), a National Nanny Recognition Week celebration (September), and various giveaways, trainings, and get-togethers throughout the year. We want you to know how much we value you and LOVE to celebrate you! Additionally, if you have scheduled time off, are sick, or are unavailable for a date night, you can send your family to our sitter team, and take off guilt-free! This means you are not leaving your family without resources, and you can rest easy on your day(s) off.
Working alone in the nanny and household staffing industry can be challenging, but when working with an agency like Mom’s Best Friend, you have a team behind you (supporting you!) with so many resources! If you are looking for a job, look no further than Mom’s Best Friend!
