Why pay my Agency Fee?

Please think twice before considering using one of the cheap or free websites set up to source Nannies, House Keepers, Au Pairs and other forms of childcare, - unless you have the ability to check and translate all documents that should be obtained before inviting a person into your home to live with you, and entrusting your children into their care.  Surely, a fee charged by a reputable agency such as Norma Lewis Domestic Staff Agency is a small price to pay for your children's safety?
