What to Look For in a Live Out Nanny Agency

Monday, September 19th, 2011

A nanny, like Mary Poppins, is a person whom both you and your children trust, who you can rely on to care for your children and give the attention they deserve. Yet unlike the film, finding someone who fits snugly into this role is never as easy as you first envisaged, which is one of the reasons why you need to find a reliable and trustworthy agency. As a well-established agency ourselves, we here at Imperial Nannies have the experience and the expertise to be able to give you advice on what to look for in a live out nanny agency.

There are many services that a reputable nanny agency should perform on your behalf, to ensure that the nanny who cares for your child is safe to do so. To give you some idea of what these should include, we have compiled a brief description of the services we provide ourselves.

Recruitment Process

As a well-established agency within the London area we attract a lot of attention from those wishing to seek a career as a nanny or maternity nurse, and subsequently, we have a regular stream of nannies wishing to be recruited. However, out of all those that send in their CV roughly only 50% are successful, demonstrating the thorough and strict screening process which we have in place. To accompany our stringent screening process, all of our nannies have to have at least two years of relevant experience, either working or caring with children.

Comprehensive Check

After the selection process, we then go on to check all references provided by the nanny, and carry out a full CRB check to ensure they have no prior criminal record. This is to give us peace of mind, as well as assurance for our clients.

If you would like more information on what to expect from a live out nanny agency, please do not hesitate to get in touch with Imperial Nannies. We take the time to get to know you, so that all of your needs are met. Contact us today by calling us on 0207 795 6220.

How to Choose a London Nanny

Wednesday, June 1st, 2011

As a first time parent, the first moment you leave hospital with your newborn in tow and get home, everything can seem daunting — from the first time the baby cries in the middle of the night through to your newborn not wanting to feed. Being a first time parent can also be a tiring job, so why not let a trained professional, such as a London nanny offer a supporting hand and guidance, giving you a rest when needed but also ensuring that you and your newborn child bond.

Here at Imperial Nannies, we appreciate how important it is when looking for an extra pair of hands to offer support, for you to be comfortable with that person and their abilities, especially where your child is concerned. This is why, we’ve provided this “How to Guide” to ensure that if you’re looking for a nanny to offer assistance, you hire one who you feel 100% comfortable with.

Check References, Qualifications and Credentials:

As you would if you were employing someone for a job within your business, when it comes to hiring a nanny, we recommend that you interview potential candidates yourself. This will enable you to feel comfortable with the person you hire, whilst also being assured that they have the relevant qualifications and experience required.

Here at Imperial Nannies, before we put forward any nannies for a vacancy, we’ll carry out a detailed CRB check and screen all potential candidates. We also recommend that our nannies have a First Aid certificate.

Deciding What You Require from a Nanny:

As an experienced and reputable nanny agency, we’re able to provide families with either a live-in or live-out nanny, ensuring that the needs and requirements of mummy, daddy and newborn are met around the clock.

The nanny which is right for you will depend on what you require. For instance, a live-in nanny will be available 24/7 to offer support and take care of your child whilst you’re getting some valuable rest, whilst a live-out nanny will only be available during the hours they’re hired for.

With a London nanny offering support and assistance, you can catch up on the valuable rest that you require; and if you require help in choosing the nanny which is right for you and your family, contact us here at Imperial Nannies.
