How do we find the right nanny for your family?

Finding a good nanny is much more than comparing a CV. At Nanny's, we guide families throughout the entire selection process. Thanks to our years of experience, we know what to look for and take the entire search off your hands, so you can choose the right person with peace of mind.

Step 1 — We get to know your family

Every search starts with an extensive introductory meeting. We listen to your story.

  • What does your (family) life look like?
  • Which support are you looking for?
  • What do you consider important in parenting?
  • Which personality fits you?

Because the right match does not start with a candidate. It starts with you.

Step 2 — We search for the right candidate

Based on your wishes, we search within our network. We look at much more than experience alone. Among other things, we pay attention to:

  • ✔ personality
  • ✔ communication style
  • ✔ values
  • ✔ pedagogical vision
  • ✔ flexibility
  • ✔ motivation
  • ✔ stability

Because a nanny becomes an important part of your family.

Step 3 — A thorough screening

This, in our view, is where the greatest added value lies. A family cannot possibly assess in a single conversation whether someone is the right choice. That is why we screen every candidate extensively.

Our selection process includes, among other things:

  • ✔ multiple interviews / conversations
  • ✔ reference checks
  • ✔ verification of diplomas and experience
  • ✔ extract from the criminal record (model 2)
  • ✔ evaluation of motivation
  • ✔ assessment of communication skills
  • ✔ estimation of the click with the family

Only when we are convinced do we propose a candidate.

Step 4 — Introduction

Only then do we organise an introduction. Not a classic job interview, but a relaxed conversation in which both the family and the candidate get to know each other. We guide this conversation and answer all questions.

Step 5 — Trial moments

A good collaboration grows. That is why we always provide enough room for trial moments. This way, the children, the parents and the nanny can calmly get used to each other. We remain involved during this phase too.

Step 6 — Start and follow-up

Our guidance does not stop when the nanny starts. On the contrary. We remain available after the start too. We follow up on the collaboration and are ready when there are questions. Because a lasting partnership also requires follow-up.

Why families don't have to do this alone

More and more families today try to find a nanny themselves via social media, online platforms or word of mouth. That seems simple, but in practice it raises many questions.

  • How do you know if someone is trustworthy?
  • How do you check references?
  • Which questions do you ask during a conversation?
  • How do you assess experience?
  • How do you know if someone truly fits your family?

For most families, this is not everyday material. For us it is. Thanks to our experience, we know what to look for and guide families step by step towards a lasting match.

Why do families choose Nanny's?

Because we go far beyond simply mediating.

  • We take ample time to get to know your family.
  • We carefully screen every candidate.
  • We guide the introduction.
  • We support during the start.
  • And we stay involved afterwards too.

This is how we create lasting partnerships in which both families and nannies feel comfortable. Discover our full process in the guide Hiring a nanny in Belgium.
