We recommend families start their search at least 6 weeks before their ideal start date. Our process depends on the responsiveness of your family and the availability of qualified candidates.

Our agency interview process includes an agency interview, collecting references, completion of a full candidate profile, and an in-depth internet screen. Our agency screens for experience, adaptability, professionalism, and tech-savviness, as we find these are the qualities that matter most to many of our clients. Once a trial interview has been scheduled or a contingent offer of employment has been accepted, a thorough background check will be completed per applicable law.

Superior Sitters recommends all families conduct a trial interview with their top candidate(s) for 1 to 7 days prior to extending a job offer. This important step in the interview process is an opportunity to see the candidate in action and to build what we hope is a strong, long-term professional relationship.
