The Columbus Nanny Agency will act as your partner in finding the right nanny for your family. We meet each nanny candidate and conduct a thorough interview. We also contact each candidate’s references. By the end of this interview, we will have assessed the nanny’s ability to care for your children as well as her personality and care giving style.

While the Columbus Nanny Agency holds the utmost confidence in successful relationships and work environments for placed nannies and their families, there may be situations that simply cannot be resolved.

If a new nanny must be assigned in the first 3 months of a placement, the Columbus Nanny Agency will assist you in finding a new nanny at no additional charge.

If a new nanny must be assigned during the 3-6 month time frame, we will assist you in finding a new nanny and apply 75% of your original placement fee to the new placement.

If a new nanny must be assigned during the 6-9 month time frame, we will assist you in finding a new nanny and apply 50% of your original placement fee to the new placement.

If a new nanny must be assigned during the 9-12 month time frame, we will assist you in finding a new nanny and apply 25% of your original placement fee to the new placement.

The Refund and Replacement Schedule will not apply if subsequent nannies must be replaced. Other restrictions may apply.
