Why is your model cheaper than traditional agencies?

Many agencies continue taking a percentage of nanny wages after placement. We do not. Families pay one flat fee and then 100% of ongoing nanny pay goes directly to the nanny.

How are Rochester nannies vetted?

Candidates go through reference checks, work history review, interview screening, and professional background verification before introduction.

How Rochester Nanny Placement Works

A clear hiring process matters when you are bringing someone into your home.

1. Define the Role

Tell us your schedule, start date, child ages, driving needs, household expectations, and whether you need part-time, full-time, or temporary support.

2. Review Candidates

We introduce vetted nanny candidates whose experience and availability fit the role, then help you compare strengths before interviews.

3. Interview and Check Fit

Use structured interviews, references, and trial time to evaluate communication, safety judgment, reliability, and chemistry with your children.

4. Hire Directly

Once you choose the right nanny, ongoing compensation is handled directly between your family and caregiver. We stay available for replacement support.

Why the Flat-Fee Model Saves Rochester Families Money

The difference is simple: one placement fee instead of a continuing cut of nanny wages.

Many traditional nanny agencies charge fees that keep following the family after placement. That can make the same caregiver cost much more over time.

GoCare Direct separates placement support from ongoing nanny compensation. Your nanny pay is negotiated directly, and 100% of that ongoing pay goes to the person caring for your children.

Family concern	Recurring-cut agency model	GoCare Direct model
Ongoing wages	Agency may keep charging a percentage	Paid directly to your nanny
Long-term cost	Can grow every pay period	One placement fee, then direct pay
Nanny quality	Vetted candidate search	Vetted candidate search
If fit changes	Depends on contract terms	Replacement support included
