At Thrive Family Care, we have a rigorous, multi-step vetting process to ensure that every nanny we place is highly qualified, trustworthy, and aligned with our values. Our process includes:
1. Comprehensive Application Review – We assess each candidate’s experience, skills, certifications, and references to ensure they meet our high standards.
2. In-Depth Interviews – Candidates undergo a multi-stage interview process where we evaluate their childcare philosophy, problem-solving skills, and professionalism.
3. Extensive Background Checks – We conduct thorough background screenings, including: National and state-level criminal background checks, Sex offender registry checks, Driving record reports (if applicable), etc.
4. Reference Verification – We personally contact previous employers and families to confirm work history, reliability, and caregiving style.
5. CPR & First Aid Certification Requirement – We require nannies to be CPR and First Aid certified or willing to obtain certification before placement.
6. Personality & Values Assessment – We ensure that our nannies align with the values of safety, integrity, and professionalism, making them a great fit for the families they serve.

Our rigorous selection process ensures that only the best, most dedicated caregivers become part of Thrive Family Care, giving families the confidence and peace of mind they deserve.
