Why Forehead Kisses Nanny ?
Our services began many years ago with my great grandmother, a loving, devoted Nanny & doula hoping to develop a network of professional doula’s & nannies to assist the community with their individual needs. Since then, we have been serving moms and their families proudly.
What Makes Forehead Kisses Nanny Different?
Our Experience:
Other nanny agencies are headed by managers, many of whom are business people with no personal experience in childcare. Forehead Kisses Nanny couldn’t be more different. Our CEO Cherrelle has over two decades of experience in hands-on childcare, from nannying to nanny placement, training, and staff management. As our principal and chief executive, Cherrelle brings a lifetime’s dedication to her position, and her passion for exceptional childcare is reflected in every aspect of Forehead Kisses Nanny.
Our Security Procedures:
Our rigorous background check procedures state and federal court records going back 10 years, and encompass both driving records and the sex offenders registry. Forehead Kisses Nanny understands there is nothing more important than the safety of your child, and we insist that all of our caregivers submit to the most strenuous screening and verification.
Drug Testing:
Unlike most Nanny Agencies, we require all of our employees to undergo regular drug testing. This standard guarantees that every member of our staff is always fully mindful, present and prepared to perform his or her job. Just as importantly, by adhering to this stringent requirement Forehead Kisses Nanny also ensures we always recruit from only the most closely vetted pool of candidates.
Experience in Same Sex & LGBT Households:
Our longtime home here in the San Francisco Bay Area has translated into a wealth of experience in nontraditional households. The Forehead Kisses Nanny staff is familiar and at ease with alternative lifestyles, and all of our caregivers are carefully trained to always focus on the care and needs of the child.
Communication:
At Forehead Kisses Nanny, we are committed to frank and open communication with all of the parents we work with. Every caring parent wants to know what’s going on with their child, and it is the caregiver’s responsibility to be the eyes and ears of the parent when they are absent. Clear communication fosters understanding and trust, and over time helps to strengthen the bonds between parents, children and their childcare providers.
An Unconditional Love for Children:
Of course, finding a caregiver that is reliable and competent is only a part of the picture; in order to be truly effective, a nanny or doula must genuinely love the company of children. When it comes to childcare, personal traits like warmth and compassion are often just as important as hard skills. These are the qualities that make your children look forward to seeing their nanny, helping them to forge a personal, healthy connection with their caregiver that nurtures them, supports them and fosters their growth.
