Our Comprehensive Permanent Nanny Service
Our permanent nanny placement service is a fully managed recruitment process designed to take the pressure off families while ensuring a precise and thoughtful match.
We take care of every stage, from understanding your needs through to successful placement and post-placement support.
How we work
We begin by taking time to understand your family in detail, including your routine, expectations, and the specific qualities you are looking for in a nanny. From there, we create a tailored job brief and advertise the role across our trusted networks, including our candidate database, job boards, website, and social media platforms.
All candidates are carefully pre-screened before being presented to you. This includes reviewing experience, qualifications, suitability, and alignment with your requirements. We then manage the entire selection process on your behalf, including:
- Advertising and sourcing suitable candidates
- Pre-screening and interviewing applicants
- Verifying Working With Children Checks, First Aid certification, and other relevant screening documentation
- Shortlisting the most suitable candidates and providing resumes with relevant notes and additional details for family review
- Coordinating and scheduling interviews with families and nannies
- Conducting thorough, child-related reference checks before placement
Once you have selected your preferred candidate, we support both parties through the placement process, including a structured two-week probation period to ensure the right fit for both the family and nanny.
We also provide a Nanny/Family Employment Agreement template to assist families in formalising their arrangement. This template is provided as a general guide only, and families should seek independent advice if required.
Ongoing support
Following a successful placement, we remain available to support both families and nannies with any questions or guidance needed during the transition period.
What you can expect
– A clear, structured, and professional recruitment process
– Carefully vetted and relevant candidates
– Time-saving coordination and communication management
– Support from initial consultation through to placement and beyond
– A focus on long-term fit, not just filling a vacancy
