It’s no secret that nannying can be a lonely world. We are one of the few professions that have no co-workers, no support system or anyone advocating for us. Prior to me starting this agency, I was a nanny for 15 years. I’ve experienced it all, the good, bad and ugly… all while having to navigate various scenarios alone and hope for the best!

DO YOU ALIGN WITH OUR CHILD-FIRST PHILOSOPHY?

We emphasize that the needs, well-being, and development of children are the primary focus in all decisions and actions. This philosophy encompasses several key aspects:

THE SCREENING PROCESS

These standards aim to ensure that families receive the best possible childcare, with nannies who are not only skilled and experienced but also deeply committed to the well-being and development of the children in their care.

Background + Criminal Checks

Comprehensive background checks are essential. This includes criminal record checks, sex offender registry checks, and verifying the nanny's identity. These checks help ensure the safety and security of the children in their care.

Work Experience + References

Nannies should have demonstrable experience in childcare, with references from previous employers. This experience can vary based on the family's needs but typically includes previous nanny positions, work in daycare settings, or experience in early childhood education.

Education + Qualifications

While formal education in childcare or early childhood education is not always mandatory, it is highly valued. Some families or agencies might require specific qualifications, such as a degree in education or a childcare certificate.

First Aid + CPR Training

Nannies should be trained and certified in first aid and CPR, particularly for infants and children. This training is crucial for responding to emergencies and ensuring the children's safety.

Legal Right to Work

It's important to verify that the nanny is legally allowed to work in the country. This includes checking work visas, residency status, or citizenship.

Health Screening

A health screening can be required to ensure the nanny is physically and mentally capable of caring for children. This might include a TB test, drug screening, and a general physical examination.

Driving Record + License Check

If the nanny's duties include driving children, a clean driving record and a valid driver's license are important.

Soft Skills + Personality Traits

Attributes such as reliability, patience, adaptability, communication skills, and a nurturing disposition are crucial. The nanny's personality and values should align with the family's needs and expectations.

Interview Process

A thorough interview process, often including both initial and follow-up interviews, helps assess the nanny's compatibility, childcare philosophy, and ability to handle relevant scenarios.

Ongoing training opportunities in child development, nutrition, educational activities, and behavior management are encouraged to ensure the nanny remains updated on best practices in childcare.
