Good questions
Things parents ask us
How are nannies vetted?
We check ID and residence status, call references, interview every nanny and encourage first aid training. Our safety page explains each step.
When am I charged?
Only after your nanny accepts your request. You then have 24 hours to pay and confirm. Your payment is held by TabiCare and released to your nanny after the booking.
Do all nannies speak English?
Yes. Every nanny on TabiCare speaks English, and we check this during their interview. Many also speak Japanese and other languages.
