What to Look For in a Live Out Nanny Agency
Monday, September 19th, 2011A 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.
