Laurine Mallet co-founded Morgan & Mallet International and was a nanny herself before that, so she has sat on both sides of the hiring table. In this episode she answers real questions from Reddit, from parents who feel overwhelmed by fees, models, and horror stories. It is a clear look at how a good nanny agency actually works.

• A single search can bring 80 to 180 applicants, which a busy family rarely has time to screen properly.
• A good agency charges the family a registration fee plus a placement fee based on the gross annual salary. The nanny pays nothing.
• Employer of record means the agency is the legal employer, runs payroll and admin, and invoices you monthly with a management fee.
• Warning signs include never meeting the candidate, checking only one reference, and pushing a CV without checking the fit first.
• Match on more than availability: location, lifestyle, long term plans, and even pet allergies, or the placement will not last.
