Because we continually recruit throughout the country, The Royal Nannies Network maintains an extensive pool of qualified candidates - some of the highest calibre, most qualified people available anywhere.

When we started our agency, we had in mind precisely the kind of people we wanted to be registered with us. There were two requirements:

Our nannies had to be experienced and had to be nice.

If they were nice, but without experience, that just wouldn't do. As a company we had to "make it"/ be successful. Only experienced, kind and loving nannies would help us do that. If they were very talented, but not a nice person, we had no hesitation in saying "NO".

HOW WE WORK

1. Through in-depth interviews, we develop a skill and personality profile for each nanny. We carefully review their nanny employment, education and medical histories, and thoroughly check references for previous nanny jobs, child care experience, qualifications and character.

As part of our thorough screening process, a professional nanny registered with Royal Nannies will have:

• Current childcare/nanny resume showing childcare experience and/or education in the field of child development or nanny qualifications.
• Minimum of 2 years experience in childcare.
• At least three excellent childcare references.
• Nanny's Criminal background screening and motor vehicle background check.
• In-person interview with Royal Nannies prior to referring to families. Notes from our interview with the candidate are included in the nanny portfolio.
• First Aid Nanny Certification.
• Our royal nanny has to be a non smoker and at least 21 years of age.
• All nannies have to be willing to make a one-year commitment, unless another time frame is specified by the parents.

2.Through a carefully designed application, we assess each family’s needs and the environment in which their nanny will function. We also advise on scheduling and help define the nanny's role within the family.

3. This data is matched to our nanny profiles, and appropriate nannies / au pairs are selected for the family to interview. We help set up interviews, and review the impressions of both family and nannies.

4. When a family feels comfortable with a nanny, we can help draft a work agreement to make sure no key consideration has been overlooked. Once a Nanny, Au Pair or Mother’s helper has accepted the offer, she is directly employed by the family.

5. The final step is follow-up. After placement of our nanny, we contact both family and our candidate (Nanny, Au Pair, childminder, Maternity Nurse or Mother’s helper), to assess the working relationship. We also introduce our London nannies to others in her area, creating support groups where they can meet other childminders and share ideas.

Other Advantages of relying on Nanny Agency London Placement Services:

• Time-saving for busy parents! You can spend hours on advertising, screening, and sifting through applications of nannies.
• Many parents unknowingly miss important steps in the screening process that may result in disappointment and frustration later. All of our London nannies must complete our thorough screening checklist with flying colours before becoming available to work with our clients. All pertinent information is available to parents in the nanny portfolio.
• Individuals not experienced in hiring nannies might not discuss all of the important issues that need to be addressed. We facilitate the important discussions that help families and our royal nannies understand expectations in advance.
• Royal Nannies agency takes the worry out of the paperwork by providing a format for a written job description and employment agreement. We personalize these documents for each family’s needs. This smoothes the way for a successful relationship with your nanny and prevents misunderstandings down the road.
