-
How long is a membership, and what does it include for families?A family membership with FamilyFirst Care Solutions spans one year. During this membership period, families enjoy a host of benefits, including caregiver placement, ongoing support, and access to community events.

Membership to our nannies concludes, and any associated perks, such as discounts for additional consulting services like housekeeping, lawn care, and household managers, are no longer applicable. Families will no longer have complimentary access to events, and the direct involvement with the assigned nanny transitions to the family's discretion to continue the contract or make other arrangements. This structure provides families with flexibility and the opportunity to reassess their caregiving needs.

It ensures that both parties understand their roles and obligations upfront, reducing misunderstandings or disputes later on.

Ultimately, having a contract in place fosters transparency, trust, and peace of mind for everyone involved.
