Domestic Application

Information for Nannies, Housekeepers and Other Applicants

We represent top-of-the-Industry applicants seeking placement. We have offered Local, plus select National and Global Household Staffing since 1988.

We pre-screen all applicants via phone prior to setting up a time for a personal interview.

We are open M-F, 9:00 am – 5:00 pm with flexibility. 

All LIVE OUT child and house care workers receive a competitive salary ($20-$35 and up per hour) plus paid vacation & major holidays. Some families will provide health insurance and/or 401K plans.

We try our hardest to work with respectful families. We advocate a maximum of a 5-day workweek. We require and offer an HTN family-nanny/domestic agreement to ensure clear expectations and communication.

All nannies and domestic workers receive a competitive salary. The status quo is two weeks of paid vacation and major holidays. Some families offer a paid cell phone. (Live-ins receive free room & board, a minimum a furnished room & a private bathroom. Some families may provide a guest house, an apartment, or a separate-floor suite. Some may provide cable TV and the personal use of a car.) Some families will provide health insurance and a very few 401K plans.

***We prefer work references but, in the event that you have had one long term domestic job, we will accept personal references. Personal references include former teachers/professors, work colleagues and job supervisors. We do not accept references from families or friends.

Please be punctual for your FaceTime or Zoom interview. Please be able to scan and e-mail two pieces of ID if asked to do so: a passport, a green card, or working papers to establish legality, and a driver’s license, a social security card, or another relevant piece of identification. Also, please have three viable phone numbers of the references you will be providing. Please make sure that these references are aware that they may be contacted. If you are going to be late, or need to change your appointment, please call us: 203.227.3924. We will do our best to help you find the job you are seeking.
