The Challenges They Faced

Before implementing Agency Caregivers, Annie's Nannies struggled with an unreliable booking service that created frustration for families, caregivers, and staff.

Poor Matching Logic

We struggled with our previous booking service as the caregiver matching feature did not always work. For instance, if a family had a 5 month old, the booking would be sent to all caregivers regardless of their experience with infants.

Intelligent matching is critical for childcare. Agency Caregivers takes into account caregiver experience, child ages, allergies, transportation needs, and more to ensure the right fit every time.

Unreliable Notifications

Inconsistent notifications. Emails and push notifications about bookings would sometimes be sent, sometimes not, with our previous service. We needed a service that would consistently send out booking information to our families and caregivers.

Reliable communication is the backbone of any booking platform. Agency Caregivers delivers consistent SMS and email notifications for every booking event, ensuring families and caregivers stay informed.

Poor Support

Customer service. We needed a booking platform with great customer service so that issues can be resolved quickly. Our previous service would give us a ticket number and we would have to wait weeks for something to be fixed.

Fast, responsive support is essential for busy agencies. Agency Caregivers provides direct access to our team with quick turnaround times, not ticket queues.

Annie's Nannies partnered with Agency Caregivers to solve their reliability challenges. The platform delivered intelligent matching algorithms, consistent communication, and responsive support that transformed their operations.

The Booking page for Families is fantastic, clean, and simple. An intuitive interface that makes booking childcare effortless for busy parents.

Intelligent Caregiver Matching
