The placement readiness checklist
Everything that has to be scoped, verified, signed, and followed up before a nanny placement can be called safe, in the order the work actually happens.

Resources for household placement agencies
Free working tools for owners who run the intake, the screening, the references, and the contract themselves.
Everything here is meant to be used during an actual search rather than read once. The calculators answer the two questions owners ask most: what a placement fee really leaves after the search is done, and how many placements one desk can carry in a year. The checklist covers the sequence from family intake through the ninety day mark, including the paperwork that has to be signed before a nanny works a single hour.
The comparison pages take the software question seriously. Boutique household agencies get pitched recruiting platforms built for volume desks and they build their own databases when nothing fits, so each comparison describes the honest fit for each kind of tool rather than pretending one answer suits every agency.

About
Who writes all of this
About the author: who writes these household placement guides, why the family intake call runs through every one of them, and where to send a question about a search of your own.
Paper works until day thirty
The calculators, the comparisons and the readiness checklist all circle one job: matching a family to the right nanny and keeping that match alive through the guarantee window. NannyMatchDesk is what happens when those steps stop being a printed sheet on the desk and start prompting the day three, day fourteen and day thirty calls themselves. Ask for a demo and bring one open search, however untidy the notes are.
