Spring has sprung, which means Summer will be heating up soon. Don’t Fall behind! We find that our busiest times of the year are the start and before/after/during summer. January is the first month of the year, and often contracts will be up here. Many candidates who have been thinking about leaving their current position will contact us, and many clients who want to start the year off right will begin to inquire about our services. Summer means school is out soon, and parents are scrambling to figure out a childcare solution if life has gotten too busy, which it often does. September means school- and many families realize that the childrens’ schedules, school, and activities, combined with the adults’ schedules will soon throw everyone into chaos. 
One of our most asked question is “How long will my search take?”, and the follow up will then be (if calling far ahead of time) “If I want to hire for specific date/time of year, when should I get started?”. First of all- we have no upfront costs and you are only sent an invoice once a hire is completed, so why wouldn’t you sign up today ?! Aside from the convenience that Nanny Poppins provides, many candidates already know when they will be looking for work next and/or when their current contract is up. We tell our clients that their search can take anywhere from two to twelve weeks. We have had clients sign up and hire someone within a few days. Other clients may take a month of two to hire. 
How long your search timeline is, and what the search entails often is up to you. Your search is customized to your needs , location, and job description. This being said, maybe your position is not straight forward. Maybe the candidate you are looking for may take you, us, or any other agency a longer time to find. Maybe you are in a remote location, and maybe you can afford to provide the highest hourly rate. Maybe you can't! 
Every search is different from the next, and so we have to treat them accordingly. We always recommend providing market rate pay, and standard benefits. Even if you have a lower pay than other positions, benefits are a huge incentive and often make the decision for a candidate. Most candidates will not leave because of how they are paid, but rather how they are treated. We can break down the benefits we are seeing our clients provide and what we would recommend for your position. We will never post a pay range, work schedule, or set of benefits without your authorization. So what are you waiting for now?! Call us with any other questions you may have
