What’s inside
- Seven parts: the action guide, the checklists, the scripts and letters, the worksheets, the decision tools, the resources and next steps, and the childcare cost comparison.
- The childcare cost comparison spreadsheet, in Excel and Google Sheets with the formulas already in: nanny, share, center or family care, compared on real cost and real hours instead of guilt.
- The screening set: a job description, a phone screen, an in-person interview, reference questions and a scorecard, so the last candidate is not judged differently from the first.
- The first thirty days: a trial day plan, a written work agreement, a house handbook and a thirty-day check-in.
- Four files: a start-here PDF, US Letter and A4 zips, and a zip of editable Word documents plus the spreadsheet. No app, no subscription, no account to create.
Who this is for
Agencies run a process, and this kit writes that process out. You decide the care type first, on cost and fit, before you interview anyone. Then you screen everyone the same way, with a scorecard instead of a feeling. Then a paid trial, a written work agreement, a house handbook and a thirty-day check-in.
There are no dates in the kit, so there is nothing to fall behind. If you started, stopped, or already got something wrong, chapter one finds the stage you are actually at and starts there.
