Shortlist the perfect nanny
We will discuss your requirements in detail to ensure we get the perfect Holiday Nanny to match your needs. You will receive full profiles (with references) on our available nannies, once your quote is approved and you have signed the T&C. Often there are many suitable nannies to choose from, based on availability.
Interview your chosen nanny
Once you have selected your preferred nanny/nannies, we will connect you with them. At this stage, you have the opportunity to schedule a video-call interview/meet-and-greet with the nanny/nannies, to get to know each other a little better, and make your final decision.
