Explanation of services and how FCS works
First Choice Sitters operates as a referral service. Meaning that First Choice Sitters does all the leg work for the parent.
First Choice Sitters goal is to provide a safe and convenient way for parents to arrange for a caregiver.
Keep in mind that the sitters are Independent Contractors NOT employees of First Choice Sitters.
HOWEVER, all sitters associated with First Choice Sitters are heavily screened and have extensive credentials(experience, degrees and specialized education) as well as being CPR and First-Aid certified.
First Choice Sitters arranges dates/times, conducts background checks, interviews, reference checks/calls, scouts out the most qualified sitters and selects the best possible match for each family. First Choice Sitters wants to provide the best childcare possible and with that in mind referral rates are needed to keep us a first rate childcare service.
***THERE IS A 4-HOUR MINIMUM on all sitting jobs
First-Choice Sitters does ask the clients to put in requests as soon as they know they need a sitter for a certain date especially if you want to have a sitter you have had previously(our goal with FCS is to try to keep as much consistency as possible for our families and care providers). But we can find someone same day or with just a day or two notice
for any last minute requests!
Registration Fee as follows:
A one time charge of $125.00 and a signed agreement are needed before any services can be provided by First Choice Sitters. This gets your paperwork started and you entered into our database. After the first fee, the customer will pay a nominal referral fee for each sitting job and will receive a monthly invoice for
incured fees and will have til the next month to pay the balance.
Nominal Referral Fees:
Referral fees are based upon the amount the family uses the service, the hours involved, and time of day(ie-daily, weekly, monthly etc). Please contact us via email or by phone (704)363-4417 for a more thorough explanation of fees. We operate this way so that our families are not over-charged. While it seems complex and having to pay monthly might seem inconvenient(but is all done online) its the best way to provide top notch service at a very competitive rate!
Full-Time Nanny Placement:
For placement of a full-time nanny client can pay regular nominal fees or can pay a lump sum of $1500 or pay by quarter (full time nannies work 35+hrs). Please call First Choice Sitters at (704)363-4417 for more information about these fees.
