The London Nanny Agency provides the highest possible calibre of nannies to parents who are concerned about child-safety standards and want to avoid the risks of hiring direct. As a reputable London nanny agency, our highest priority is the safety, security and happiness of your children.
All our placed nannies are DBS-checked, pre-interviewed (either face to face, video call or telephone), experienced, ID-checked, have an up to date paediatric first aid certificate and come with a great track record. Plus, we are the only nanny agency in London which pays for our permanent nannies to attend a specialist paediatric first aid course if their last one was done over three years ago. If temporary we will ensure that their paediatic first certificate is less than 3 years old (therefore in date) unless agreed with the parents. If you wish to interview our candidates, just register by clicking on the link (you will only be charged our industry-standard fee of 5-6 weeks net nanny salary if you decide to hire one of our nannies).

Questions that should be asked should include ones about why they chose to be a nanny, what they enjoy most about the job, what activities they would plan, do they have a good understanding of milestones and development in the age group your child(ren) are in, are they confident in sole charge roles, can they think of any times when they had to make decisions in an emergency and what did they do etc. It is also important to watch how the nanny interacts with the children and if they ask sensible questions such as ones about routine/family childcare ethos etc and seem engaged and interested in the position.

Yes, we personally check nanny references. This gives us a chance to ask the difficult questions and to establish whether the family recommend the nanny and also if they are happy to talk to a future employer themselves.
