Forbes Nannies London as Top-Rated London and International Nanny Recruitment Agency we prioritise the safety, security, and happiness of your children, ensuring that the candidates we send you to interview are the most loving, experienced, and knowledgeable caregivers London has to offer. Before interviews take place, we personally check at least one reference and ensure that all relevant identification checks are completed. We also arrange for successful candidates to undergo a pediatric first aid course and update their enhanced DBS if necessary.

During the interview and trial process, we advise that the nanny is not left in charge of the children or house at any time. The parent or employer remains responsible until the commencement of employment, if offered.

Forbes Nanny Agency London maintains a variety of nannies on our books to cater to every family’s requirements and preferences. We believe that quality, not quantity, is the key to a successful interviewing process. We aim to send two to four solid nannies, allowing you to choose the candidate whose personality best fits with your family.

Here are some essential topics to address with a nanny during the interview:

Family Background: Understand the nanny’s upbringing and values.

Motivation: Discover why the nanny chose to become a caregiver.

Education: Inquire about the nanny’s studies and what they gained from them.

Approach to Childcare: Learn about the nanny’s philosophy and routines.

Activities and Meals: Discuss planned activities and meals for your children.

Driving Experience: Assess the nanny’s driving skills and record.

Challenging Situations: Ask about past challenges and problem-solving skills.

It’s important to notice whether the nanny shows interest in your family and child-rearing philosophies. A good nanny will take an active interest in your routines, children’s interests, and specific requirements, demonstrating a genuine desire to find the perfect fit.

Forbes Nannies London recommends that the first interview involve only the nanny and parents. If you’re interested, invite the nanny back for a second interview to discuss logistical details such as salary and accommodation. After the second interview, invite final candidates for a trial day, where they can participate in your daily routine under your guidance. Trials should be compensated based on the hourly net rate and are strictly part of the interview process.

Forbes Nanny Agency endeavours to make the nanny hiring process easy and pleasant, always prioritising the safety, security, and happiness of your children.
