Sample Family Inquiry Call
"Thank you for calling Trusted Care Nanny Agency. I'm here to help you find the perfect nanny for your family. Are you a parent looking for childcare, or a nanny interested in joining our agency?"
"I'm looking for a full-time nanny. I have a 6-month-old and a 3-year-old."
"Wonderful! We have many experienced nannies who specialize in infant and toddler care. What schedule are you looking for? Full-time typically means 40-50 hours per week. And would you prefer a live-in or live-out arrangement?"
"Live-out, Monday through Friday, around 8 AM to 6 PM. I need someone who can also help with light housekeeping."
"Perfect! I'd love to schedule a consultation with one of our placement specialists. They can discuss your specific needs and present you with qualified candidates who have passed our thorough background checks. Would tomorrow at 10 AM or 2 PM work better for you?"

Frequently asked questions. Everything you need to know.
What is an AI receptionist for nanny agencies?
An AI receptionist for nanny agencies is an intelligent virtual assistant that handles calls from families seeking childcare and nannies looking for placements 24/7. It captures detailed family requirements, nanny availability and qualifications, schedules matching consultations, answers questions about background check processes, and manages the high volume of inquiries that nanny agencies receive. Unlike traditional answering services, an AI receptionist responds instantly to every call, never puts callers on hold, and integrates directly with your nanny placement software to keep your matching pipeline flowing around the clock.
How does the AI voice receptionist screen families seeking nannies?
The AI voice receptionist for childcare services conducts structured intake calls that capture the number and ages of children, desired schedule (full-time, part-time, live-in, live-out), specific care requirements (infants, special needs, homework help, driving), preferred start date, location and commute considerations, compensation range, and any language or cultural preferences. It asks qualification questions tailored to family needs and prioritizes them for consultant follow-up based on urgency and match potential.
Can the AI receptionist handle nanny registration calls?
Yes, the AI receptionist captures comprehensive nanny profiles including years of experience, age groups cared for, certifications (CPR, First Aid, Newborn Care), education background, driver status and vehicle availability, language fluencies, availability and schedule preferences, salary expectations, and willingness for live-in positions. This information flows directly into your placement system, enabling your team to begin matching immediately.
How does the AI receptionist explain your background check process?
The AI receptionist provides clear information about your background verification process including the types of checks conducted (criminal, driving records, reference verification, identity checks), typical processing times, what candidates need to provide, and how families receive verification results. It can answer common questions about background check requirements while setting appropriate expectations for both families and nannies.
Can the AI receptionist handle emergency childcare requests?
Absolutely. The AI receptionist recognizes urgent care requests and can capture last-minute placement needs from families facing emergencies. It gathers essential information quickly, checks immediate nanny availability in your system, and escalates to on-call placement coordinators for rapid matching. For existing clients, it can facilitate emergency backup care coverage according to your protocols.
How does the AI receptionist manage nanny availability updates?
The AI receptionist can receive availability updates from registered nannies, capturing schedule changes, new certifications earned, updated references, or changes in their placement preferences. This information updates your placement system in real-time, giving you accurate visibility into available caregivers for optimal family matching.
What information does the AI receptionist collect from families?
The AI receptionist gathers comprehensive family profiles including: parent contact information, number of children and their ages, special needs or developmental considerations, desired care schedule and hours, live-in versus live-out preference, household responsibilities beyond childcare, vehicle and driving requirements, language needs, pets in the home, compensation budget, and ideal start date. This structured data flows directly into your CRM for efficient consultant follow-up.
How does the AI receptionist integrate with nanny placement software?
The AI receptionist integrates with leading nanny agency and childcare placement platforms including NannyLane, SitterCity, Care.com agency tools, GTM Payroll, HomeWork Solutions, and various CRM systems. Family profiles, nanny registrations, consultation appointments, and availability updates flow directly into your existing workflows via native integrations or API connections. Most agencies are fully integrated within 48-72 hours of setup.
Can the AI receptionist handle bilingual family and nanny calls?
Yes, the AI receptionist supports fluent conversations in English, Spanish, Mandarin, French, and 20+ other languages. This is essential for nanny agencies serving diverse communities and placing bilingual caregivers. Language detection is automatic, so callers are served in their preferred language without delay.
How does the AI receptionist help with family-nanny matching consultations?
The AI receptionist coordinates consultation schedules between families, placement consultants, and potential nanny matches. It checks real-time availability across all parties, books consultation slots, sends instant confirmations via text and email, and handles rescheduling requests. This eliminates phone tag and accelerates the matching process so families find the right nanny faster.
What happens when a family or nanny needs to speak with a human consultant?
The AI receptionist seamlessly escalates to human consultants when needed. During business hours, calls transfer directly to available team members with full conversation context. After hours, the AI can schedule callback appointments, take detailed messages, or connect urgent matters to on-call staff. Callers can also request human assistance at any time during the conversation.
How quickly can our nanny agency get started with an AI receptionist?
Most nanny agencies are fully operational with their AI receptionist within 48-72 hours. Our onboarding team configures your intake scripts, service offerings, consultant routing rules, and software integrations. We provide dedicated setup support and testing to ensure the AI receptionist handles your specific workflows correctly before going live with family and nanny calls.
