We know that safety and well-being are the most important aspects of childcare. At Gateway Nanny Agency, we take this responsibility seriously. That’s why we’ve developed our unique 19-Point Screen

—A thorough and meticulous vetting process designed to ensure your family is matched with only the most qualified, reliable, and trustworthy caregivers.

Our screening process covers everything from verifying professional experience, certifications, and credentials to conducting comprehensive background checks, including national and federal criminal records, motor vehicle reports, and the US Sex Offender Registry.

We also perform in-depth interviews and gather professional and character references to understand each candidate's skills, reliability, and commitment to excellence.

With over 13 years of nanny experience guiding our agency, we know firsthand what it takes to ensure a safe and nurturing environment. You can rest assured that every candidate presented to you has been carefully evaluated to meet the highest standards, giving you peace of mind and confidence in your childcare choice.
