NATURE OF SERVICES

1. Our role as an agency is to outsource care providers, arrange interviews for you to meet the care providers and subsequently provide services on a regular or short term basis. You are responsible to provide accurate information about your requirement before you decide to engage a care provider’s service through our agency.  Our agency will look at each registered care provider’s profile and aim to provide information to enable a successful match. However, you should be aware that our agency does not have the resources to check the correctness of the qualifications and experience professed to be possessed by registered caregivers, who have offered their services.
2. Our Care Providers are self-employed, independent contractors who provide their services through our agency, at a contract price agreeable by both parties (Agency & Care Provider). There is no employee-employer relationship between the agency and the caregivers. We do not charge any fee whatsoever to any care providers.
3. Our service fee to our clients includes our agency fee covering you with suitable replacement at any one time, back up services during the booking period of service and the care provider’s fee. All payment due to the care provider will be paid directly by our agency. Clients wishing to have the nanny “try out” on the job it can be arranged at a fee.

LONG TERM SERVICE (INDEFINITE PERIOD)

1. If the client does not need the care provider to report in for a particular day/period or if the client is leaving for a short holiday, the care provider has to be paid for those days she is not required to report in. Reason being, the care provider is required to be on standby for the respective client and she is not allowed to take up any new assignments or leave during the waiting period.
2. When a care provider does not report in for assignment, that is if she is unwell or is on an urgent leave, the agency shall assign you with a temporary back up care provider, if required and subject to availability. For the days that we are unable to provide you with a replacement or if you do not require a backup for that day, the care provider will pay back the days of service, which will be brought forward in the next invoicing.
