Seattle Nanny Network Inc

"Financial issues" lead to not paying promised bonus. This spring I applied to be a nanny through the Seattle Nanny Network agency (SNN) and got a job that started in March. On the SNN website it stated that nannies would get a "signing bonus" of $100 after completing one month of employment with a family that they were placed with through the agency. But when I asked them about this in April, they said that it was a mistake and they are no longer offering the bonus. However, they said that they would honor it with me, since the information had not been removed from their website. The problem is that ever since then, they have been telling me that the agency is having financial issues and they cannot afford to pay my bonus yet. I was asked to wait until September. When I contacted them recently, they still said that they cannot pay my bonus and gave me no indication of how much longer it will be. This is very frustrating to me, since I am putting myself through school right now and that money would help with my tuition (I am in a certificate program at Bellevue College, so it doesn't qualify for any federal aid). If their business is in such bad shape that they cannot afford $100, even after 5 months, then I'm not sure how they are still in business. Until this incident I would have been happy to recommend this agency to other nannies and families seeking care, but after the way they have treated me I don't think that I can. I have submitted a complaint to the BBB and will update this review if and when they follow through on their promises…

Great place to work!. I am a temp nanny for the Seattle Nanny Network and have nothing but great things to say about this company. The staff is wonderful and they really do help to find you a family that is similar to you and your personality. I have been with them for 5 years now (all through college) and still enjoy working and look forward to their calls that set me up with new jobs!

Thanks ladies!…

The Staff really knows how to make a match. Finding a job as a nanny is complicated. It's hard to know for sure if you will be a good fit and finding the right fit is so important when kids are involved. I was offered positions with other families, but I chose to work with Seattle Nanny Network because they work hard to make sure it's a good match. I knew the challenges families had before being sent out to meet with them and they could read my profile and see if my style matched their ideas about parenting. No one had to waste time on countless interviews to find out if it would be a good fit. I love the family that I am placed with and their needs perfectly match my skills. I owe a big thanks to SNN.…
