How To Start

The $500 registration / retainer fee is credited toward your applicable placement package and activates the interview portion of the process.

1. Complete the New Family Application.
2. Receive your private Candidate Selection link and choose the candidates you want to interview.
3. Meet candidates via Zoom interviews, activated by the $500 retainer.
4. Select your candidate and pay the remaining balance (plus taxes) — required before any in-person meeting, trial, or hire.
5. Begin placement with your selected candidate. Paid trials apply only to eligible placement types, not Baby Nurse or Newborn Care Specialist placements. For multiple services, each placement follows its own trial policy.

All agency fees are final and non-refundable; replacement support is provided instead of refunds. Florida sales tax is applied per county. Terms and conditions may apply. Signature Nannies operates solely as a referral-based placement agency — the Agency is not the employer of any placed candidate. All candidates are hired directly by the Client, who assumes full responsibility as the legal employer. Payments accepted via Zelle, Venmo, and bank transfer.
