How We Recruit the Perfect Nanny for You

Nannies Matter has decades of experience in matching families with their ideal nanny, who can fit right into your household and fulfil a number of services. We review and recruit nannies for each family based on your specific and unique needs to ensure they suit your lifestyle perfectly.

No two families are the same, so it is never simply a case of finding somebody who lives locally to you. Instead, it is about taking on somebody who meets your family’s requirements. In the unlikely event that we don’t have anyone with the experience you are looking for, we can recruit specifically for you, using our tried-and-tested channels.

We understand how important securing the right person is, so we offer a bespoke approach to ensure all of your family’s needs are met. Our process for recruiting nannies is thorough in its approach, helping to ensure that only the most qualified professionals are taken on.

Our Nanny Recruitment Process

Step 1

Initially, you will have a meeting with one of our directors where we will go through an extensive checklist of your needs and requirements. We pride ourselves on our approach in helping families to find the right fit for them. This means we will often speak at length with the families who we work with - either over the phone, via email or in person in your home.

Step 2

After this meeting has taken place, our recruitment process begins by searching our registered nanny and housekeeper database for suitable candidates who match your requirements. If a good match has not been found on our database, we can recruit specifically for you by using our trusted and reliable channels.

Step 3

Our recruitment processes are carried out by our director. While other agencies have separate departments to carry out this function, we feel that a senior member of staff should oversee the whole process from start to finish to ensure you are placed with the right nanny or housekeeper.

Once a potential candidate has been sourced, we will carry out face-to-face interviews, where we will find out more information on the following:

Relevant experience
Good communication skills
Integrity
Honesty
Maturity
Reliability

Step 4

If the individual demonstrates the qualities that are required to join us, we will then seek out verbal references from their previous employers. We also believe that you too should do this, to give yourself the peace of mind that the individual we are taking on is reliable.

Step 5

All of our nannies, housekeepers and household staff are then subject to an enhanced DBS check before they are employed.

Testimonials

I liked the way that they came to see me at my convenience and kept in contact right throughout the process - highly recommend them.

Mrs Trench, Oxfordshire

Nannies Matter understood my staffing crisis and worked with me to ensure that I was able to recruit a high-quality nanny to replace Debbie in a short space of time.

Mrs Rickson, Marlow, Buckinghamshire

You deal with just one person, a delight to use would contact them again if I need staff in the future.

Mrs Lewis, Guildford, Surrey

It was a relief not to have a vast number of CVs sent to me but the ones I received fitted my requirements.

Mrs Wright, Weybridge, Surrey

A personable approach – the first nannies sent were not quite right for me but they persevered and came up with Sarah who is fitting in just fine.
