Cancellation Policy

Once a booking has been confirmed with the client, the agency fee will be charged and is non-refundable.  If the client cancels with less than 48 hours notice, then the client agrees to also pay the 4 hour minimum for the child care provider.  The agency will forward the caregiver’s payment to her.

 

Payments

Caregivers are paid directly by the family, by check or cash. ALL agency and registration fees for temporary services must be paid by credit card, and are charged at the time the booking is confirmed. We accept VISA or MasterCard credit cards.  We do not accept personal checks for agency fees.

 

Because of the requirements for work experience and for post secondary education related to child development (or extensive child care experience), the temporary nannies will typically be at least 21 years old. All caregivers are non-smokers and have their own reliable transportation to your home. They are particularly well qualified to step into new situations with a minimum of instruction.  You and your children will love them!
