Terms of Service

Last Updated: December 15, 2024

Please Read Carefully

By using Nanny Nook Curacao, you acknowledge that we are solely a connection platform. We do not employ workers, manage employment relationships, or participate in any agreements between families and helpers. All employment matters are your responsibility.

1. Platform Purpose

Nanny Nook Curacao ("the Platform," "we," "us," or "our") operates as an online marketplace that connects families, organizations, companies, and individuals seeking household help ("Employers") with individuals offering their services as nannies, maids, cleaners, cooks, helpers, and other household professionals ("Workers", "Helpers", "Cleaners", "Nannies", "Cooks", "All Round Helpers").

We are NOT an employment agency. We do not:

  • Employ or hire Helpers on behalf of Employers
  • Act as an employer or sponsor for Helpers
  • Manage, supervise, or control employment relationships
  • Provide guarantees about Helpers' qualifications, experience, or performance
  • Participate in salary negotiations, contracts, or employment terms

2. User Responsibilities

For Employers (Families, Organizations, Companies, or Individuals):

  • You are solely responsible for conducting due diligence, interviews, and background checks
  • You must verify Helper credentials, references, and legal work authorization
  • You are responsible for all visa sponsorship, work permits, and legal documentation
  • You must establish and manage all employment terms including salary, duties, hours, and benefits
  • You are responsible for compliance with local labor laws and regulations
  • You assume all liability for the Helper's actions during employment

For Helpers (Workers, Nannies, Cleaners, Cooks, All Round Helpers):

4. No Employment Relationship

Nanny Nook Curacao does not employ Helpers. Helpers (including Workers, Nannies, Cleaners, Cooks, and All Round Helpers) listed on the Platform are independent individuals seeking employment. Any employment relationship formed is exclusively between the Employer and the Helper.

We do not:

  • Process payroll or handle salary payments
  • Provide employment contracts or legal documentation
  • Offer insurance, health coverage, or employee benefits
  • Handle visa sponsorship or immigration services
  • Resolve employment disputes or mediate conflicts

5. Profile Verification

While we may verify certain information provided by Helpers (such as identity documents), this verification is limited and does not constitute:

  • A guarantee of Helper qualifications, skills, or experience
  • A background check or criminal record verification
  • Employment or character references
  • Professional certification validation

Employers must conduct their own thorough verification, interviews, and background checks before hiring.

6. Acceptable Use

  • Use the Platform for its intended purpose only
  • Respect the privacy and dignity of all users

  • Non-refundable once purchased

Subscription fees do NOT include placement fees, recruitment services, or employment guarantees.

  • Complying with local labor laws and regulations
  • Ensuring proper work authorization and documentation
  • Following employment standards and worker rights
