What Makes You Different From Other Agencies?
Cyn's Play Place has a unique model which sets us apart from other companies. Founded February 2017 in Stone Mountain, GA, we are one of the first Metro Atlanta childcare company to offer non-traditional nanny services with unbeatable pricing & structure. Because of our strong determination & dedication to exceeding our community's childcare expectations, we have since grown to service over 12,000 families across the country. Our vetting process is extensive and personal. We carefully screen each of our employees before sending them to meet your family. We run their background checks, speak with references, and obtain feedback from previous employers. We do not mix and match, meaning you'll usually have the same provider(s). Weekly rates are based on the sitter pay rates. You have the option of paying your provider directly. All childcare hours are quoted and contracted based on your needs. Childcare providers are employed by the agency and are expected to adhere to the schedules you provide! Sounds simple right? Contact us if you have any questions.

This Is My First Time Using An Agency. How Do I Determine A Reasonable Budget?
Most nannies and babysitters prefer a pay rate that meets their previous experience and credentials in the childcare field. Additionally, you should consider the hours/days you are requesting of them. We suggest offering no less than $15/hour for fulltime (40hrs+) positions or $30/hour for part time or occasional needs (30hrs or less). Negotiating during your Meet & Greet(s) is recommended of course. Your potential provider will let you know what they are comfortable with and you both can decide what works for the arrangement.

There is no wait to begin in-home services. Screening a new provider specifically for your family may take up to 2 weeks or longer depending on your needs.
