Recruiting nannies is what we do. When you get in touch with Rosebud Nanny Agency, you can rest assured that we will do all we can to find a great nanny for you and your children. We will take the full details of the role and learn some more about your family and discuss the kind of person that will suit you. We then use that information to put together a comprehensive advertisement (examples can be seen on the 'current vacancies' page!) 

 

Then we go through the nannies already registered and vetted to see who suits your role. We also run adverts to bring new candidates in - those will then be interviewed by us, with their documentation checked (as well as any qualifications or training, we check their passport, right to work, licence and any points checked, and proof of address). We also ensure they hold an enhanced DBS check, if not this will be applied for and in place before a role starts. We also insist they hold paediatric first aid training. 

 

Within a few days of our initial discussion, we aim to send you a short list of CVs for nannies who we feel would work well with you and your family. We will then organise interviews between you and any nannies you wish to meet and provide you with help and advice for the interviews. Typically, this will be the candidates already vetted and checked out - in the background, we will be interviewing and vetting the new applications, so if the first wave doesnt yield the perfect fit, more candidates will be sent through shortly! That way, using feedback from the first interviews, we can further tailor the applicants sent through to ensure the personality fit is right - any nannies we send to interview would be more than capable of performing the role, its just narrowing it down to the ones that fit well into your daily life. 

 

After you complete the first round of interviews, we suggest you select your favourites (ideally 2-3 nannies) to come and spend some time with the children. You can use this meeting to discuss the finer points of the role, as well as seeing how the candidate relates to the children. 

 

When you have reached a decision on who you wish to employ, we will provide a template contract (and guide you on that as you draft it), advise on payroll companies and employers liability insurance, and help you in any way you need. We will of course provide evidence of all their document checks, references etc for your peace of mind.
