The Hidden Costs of Hiring a Nanny on Your Own—How to Avoid It
Saving Money Upfront Could Cost You Later
With so many families turning to online job boards and Facebook groups to find a nanny, it may seem faster (and cheaper) to DIY your nanny search. But what many parents don’t realize is that hiring without an agency often comes with hidden costs—and serious risks.
At InHome Care Solutions, we’re here to protect your time, money, and peace of mind by offering a safer, smarter alternative.
What Are the Hidden Costs?
Time Spent Vetting Candidates Sorting through dozens (or hundreds) of applications, checking references, running background checks—it adds up fast. We handle all of that for you.
Hiring the Wrong Person A poor match can lead to stress, schedule disruptions, and even having to start over. Our expert matchmaking ensures long-term compatibility.
Lack of Backup Options If your nanny gets sick or quits suddenly, you’re stuck. We provide backup care and replacement support.
No Ongoing Support Independent hires don’t come with ongoing guidance or performance check-ins. We stay involved to ensure things continue to go smoothly.
Legal & Tax Confusion Employment laws, contracts, payroll—DIY setups often skip these critical steps, which can lead to tax issues or legal problems down the line. We guide you every step of the way.
