Agency Partners in the News

HomeWork Solutions has partnered with leading nanny placement and referral agencies nationwide since 1993.

Several of our partner agencies have been cited in news reports recently.

Nannies on the Go, Southlake TX, was consulted by TV33 on a feature about mothers returning to the workforce due to the current economic crisis. Owner Sharon Moloney reports that these mothers are extraordinarily concerned about just who will be caring for their children when they are working. Nannies on the Go, a member of the Alliance of Premier Nanny Agencies, performs thorough background screening on every nanny it refers.

A Friend of the Family Home Services, Inc., an Atlanta GA-area in-home childcare and adult care referral service, hosted a nanny professional development day November 8, 2008. They recognize that nannies with up to date credentialing (CPR, First Aid, etc.) and strong interpersonal skills are more competitive in the job market. The free workshop, entitled "Polished, Professional and In Demand," provided nannies with the knowledge to present themselves as more confident and capable.

Bob King, Esq. of Legally Nanny, Orange County California has been consulted by several reporters in the last few months. Mr. King's firm provides household employers assistance in a variety of legal matters including work agreements, confidentiality agreements, severance agreements and client defense. Mr. King reports an uptick in clients requiring assistance with unemployment claims. These clients largely had paid their nanny in cash with no tax reporting, and had a difficult and costly process in front of them to 'get whole' with the IRS and state taxing authorities. This is a growing problem for families faced with unexpected job loss or economic reversals. They can no longer afford the nanny, let her go, and she files for unemployment benefits. Many of these nannies really had no choice as they too face a challenging employment market.

Don't want to be one of those families caught after the fact with a huge tax liability? Consider one of HomeWork Solutions' family friendly nanny tax compliance services - we can help you get it right the first time. No worries - just go ahead and simplify with HomeWork Solutions!

Locator Devices Enhance Background Checks

I blogged on April 2, 2007 on the new, nationwide searches available via our affiliate 4nannies.com to aid in background checking a nanny or other household worker.

Verifications Inc., the vendor who provides 4nannies.com's background check services, has an excellent article titled Using Locator Devices to Enhance a Criminal Record Search that details the strengths and weaknesses of the national records searches.

4nannies.com strongly encourages families to utilize the locator devices in conjunction with in-court records searches, never instead of in-court records searches.

Families - always thoroughly investigate before you hire! Your children are depending it you.
