      Do-It-Yourself Screening Packages

We can help you do it yourself with one of our affordable screening packages.  Just select the package that meets your needs and pay by check or credit using the attached order form.  Once payment is received, we will contact you for the information that we will need to arrange an interview with your chosen candidate. 

Since we want to be thorough we have offered several options here.  Most families will only need the Premium or Premium Plus Package.  If your candidate is a child or elder caregiver and has not taken a CPR class in the past year, we would highly recommend adding the CPR/First Aid certification as well. While safety is our primary concern, we want this to be affordable for you, so do not add on items that you may not need.  If you are unsure, please call us and we will help you decide.

You can always find lower prices by using less professional or online agencies that may consider a telephone conversation as “personally” meeting with a candidate.  But then you get what you pay for.  We take the extra time to meet the candidates face-to-face because when children and families are involved, we take security very seriously.   

All fees are non-refundable and required prior to making arrangements.  However, if the candidate fails to show up for an interview and none of the background checks were ordered, we will give you the option of applying the fee to one other candidate or receiving a refund, less a $75.00 processing fee.  Once the background checks are ordered or if the second candidate does not show up, no refunds will be given.  

While there are no guarantees on a candidate that you find and select yourself, we will offer to apply the fees that you paid for any one package toward our full service referral fee.  You must notify us of your decision to upgrade in writing within thirty (30) days of paying the fee.  Most families will not need this offer, but for those families that do not want the hassle of starting their search all over again, we want to make it easier for them to find the right match. 

All interviews are personally handled and performed by the Dedicated Nannies Agency.

Employer acknowledges that the Agency itself does not perform background checks on candidates. The Agency does retain the services of private independent information brokers to perform background checks on Candidates. The Agency will provide a copy of the written results of the background check to the Employer. While every effort is made to assure the background check data is accurate and current, it must be accepted and used by the recipient with the understanding that no warranties, expressed or implied, concerning the accuracy, reliability or suitability of this data have been made.  Dedicated Nannies, Dedicated Domestics, their agents and independent contractors assume no liability whatsoever associated with the use or misuse of the data supplied.  Be advised that misuse of the data supplied may be subject to civil and criminal penalties under state and federal laws.

If you have narrowed down the candidates but do not want to decide which one until after the background and reference checks are done, please call us for a multi package discount.

By submitting payment you are agreeing to the above policy.

If you have any questions or need help choosing the services that are right for you please call us at: 949-612-1900
