How do I know the family profiles are fresh and that the jobs are still likely to be available if I'm interested? |
Families may order membership periods of various lengths, and they may renew the membership as needed. We've found that typically, families will deactivate their accounts once they've hired a candidate so that they will not be inconvenienced with inquiring candidates when they no longer have a position available. There is no guarantee that families will deactivate their account once a position is no longer available, but this is usually the case.

Still others enroll in formalized training programs designed specifically to educate nannies or elder caregivers. You can view a list of nanny training programs at the International Nanny Association’s website, www.nanny.org.

How do salaries work? |
The candidates registered with our site are not employed by GoNannies and set their own rates, which may vary depending on location, experience, duties and responsibilities. Candidates are required to identify their salary range (with the option of selecting "negotiable"). Domestic workers such as nannies and cooks are covered under the Fair Labor Standards Act if they work more than 8 hours for an employer or if they are paid more than the established threshold (adjusted by the Social Security Administration each year) in a calendar year. This means that they must be paid minimum wage for each hour worked and that live-out nannies, as well as live-in nannies in some states are entitled to overtime. You can determine the rates of candidates near you by running a free zip code search on our site and by looking at the desired salaries of job seekers in your area with qualifications similar to what you need. The International Nanny Association also publishes an annual salary and benefits survey recap each year that can provide guidance and insight. There are no salary requirements at GoNannies.com. Any salaries listed have been provided by the candidates and not by GoNannies. Salary requirements should always be discussed and/or confirmed with the candidate directly.
