Will You Ever Take Back a Candidate You Placed With Us?

A fair worry, and an easy one to answer: no. The person we place with you is yours.

It is a reasonable question, and one thoughtful families ask: once an agency places a wonderful professional in your home, what stops that same agency from later luring them away to another family, or pulling them off the job? It is a real concern in an industry where some firms treat the people they place as inventory to be recirculated. Our answer is simple and unequivocal: we do not, ever, solicit, recruit, or remove a professional we have placed with you. Once a placement is made, that person is part of your household, not a candidate we keep on the market.

This is a matter of principle, not just policy. The entire premise of our work is the lasting relationship between a family and the professional who cares for them, our placements stay an average of more than five years, and that longevity is something we protect, not undermine. A firm that quietly poaches its own placements to earn a second fee is working against the very thing it was hired to create, and against its own clients. We would never do it, because it would betray both the family and the professional, and because our reputation, built since 1999, rests on exactly the opposite.

It is worth distinguishing this from the normal course of things. Professionals are free people, and over years circumstances change, a family's needs evolve, a role naturally ends, a professional's own life moves on. When a placement genuinely runs its course, we are glad to help both sides find what comes next. But that is the professional's own decision in the fullness of time, not something we instigate. We will never approach someone we placed with you to tempt them elsewhere, and we will never treat your household's professional as a candidate to be re-marketed.

The same protection works in your favor through our guarantee. If anything, our interest is in your placement lasting, since a placement that endures is the whole measure of our work, and our full-year guarantee aligns us with that. We succeed when your professional stays for years, not when they move.

So you can extend your trust fully. The person we find for you is placed to become a lasting part of your family's life, and we consider it our job to protect that relationship, never to interfere with it. That commitment is part of what it means to work with a firm that takes the long view rather than the transactional one. At Nannies + more…®, it is simply how we work.
