As Good As Me is a boutique agency and we specialize in customized domestic placements. We meet with each and every candidate we represent, verify all references, and thoroughly screen their backgrounds and driving records before referring them to your family. We weed out hundreds of candidates who do not meet our high standards to save you countless hours and money and most importantly ensure your family’s safety.

Our placement process usually takes anywhere from 1 – 8 weeks depending on the position details, the availability of qualified candidates, your availability to interview, notice period and many other factors. We are constantly vetting new candidates to keep our pool of qualified professionals plentiful. There are many factors that come into play when making a placement and we feel it is most important to make sure the candidates we represent are the “right” fit for you and your family. Sometimes this takes a little extra time and patience.

As Good As Me does not employ any household candidate. All candidates are employees of the families’ and will be paid directly by the family. We assist our clients in getting proper payroll set up and help to make this part of hiring a person for your home easy.

According to the IRS your nanny/household employee is to be paid as a W2 employee of the household. It is not legal to pay your nanny as an independent contractor. For more information on taxes and payroll service please visit our wonderful tax and payroll professionals at Homework Solutions.

At As Good As Me we stand behind our placements. We want both our clients and our household care candidates to be completely happy with the placement. If for any reason within up to the first year (dependent on package) of employment the candidate does not work out, As Good As Me will work with you to help find a replacement. It is our ultimate goal to make lasting connections the first time. **We require a signed employment agreement to be in place for your replacement policy to be valid**

If you need assistance immediately we would be happy to assist. Available on an as needed basis or for short term gap coverage, our temporary candidates go through the same thorough screening process that our full-time placements do, so you can have complete peace of mind over the well-being of your home.

Our screening process is comprehensive and rigorous. We only represent those with impeccable references, experience, and character. We understand the importance of knowing you have the most trustworthy and experienced individuals in your home. That is why we make it our first and foremost top priority to fully screen and get to know each and every candidate before connecting them with your family.
