Guide FAQs.

Do I need these guides if I already have a nanny?+
Yes โ€” many families use them to reset expectations, clarify agreements, and strengthen communication mid-placement. Guide 8 (Evaluating Fit & Longevity) and Guide 6 (Work Agreement) are especially useful for existing relationships that need a refresh.
Are the templates editable?+
Absolutely. Every template, handbook, and checklist in the bundle is fully customizable so you can adapt it to your family's specific needs, schedule, and household rules.
What if I've never hired a nanny before?+
Then this bundle is especially for you. It's designed to walk first-time parents through every step โ€” from writing a job description to running a trial day to setting up a work agreement. Guide 1 (10-Step Guide) is the perfect starting point.
How is this different from hiring through Cherry Creek Nanny Agency?+
The guides are a DIY resource. If you'd like us to do the sourcing, vetting, and matching for you, that's our placement service. Many families do both โ€” use the guides to be a more prepared employer, then work with us to find the right candidate.
What format are the guides in?+
All guides are delivered as PDF downloads via Payhip immediately after purchase. Readable on any device or printable. Templates within each guide are designed to be fillable digitally or by hand.

Ready to hire with confidence?

Whether you start with the free guide, pick up an individual guide, or go straight to the full bundle โ€” you'll be a more prepared, informed employer from day one.
