Many candidates wrongly assume that signing up with a nanny agency or childcare website guarantees employment. And worse, candidates often get upset with nanny agencies or childcare websites that don’t find them jobs quickly enough.
It happens to sign up with agencies or websites that will never find you a job, or even get you an interview. And a nanny agency or childcare website that can’t find you a job is not necessarily a bad business.
Nanny agencies do not look for jobs for their candidates, they source candidates for their clients (families). They already can’t guarantee families that they will find them the right nanny, so it’s obvious that they can’t guarantee candidates that they will find them a job…
To maximize your chances of finding a job that fits your needs and qualifications, it is essential for nannies to actively engage in their job search and to utilize multiple channels (including signing up with more than one nanny agency or childcare website).
If your background and expertise align with the nanny agency or childcare website’s specialization, your chances of finding a job through them might be higher, but there are still no guarantees!
Nanny agencies and childcare website are valuable resources in your job search, they do their best to help and all they can guarantee is help to network, and networking is the best way to find a job!
