Working with families worldwide since 2004
Why Should I use an agency and pay their fees?
The simple answer is you don’t have to, you can search directly! But we have a database of nannies and household staff built up since 2003 and have known many of the candidates we place for 5-10 years, or longer in many cases. Many employers find their own staff directly, through referral or advertising, but if you’re not happy to do that we can help. There are hundreds of agencies to choose from, many of them are fantastic and very well established, but not all are, so choose carefully. It is entirely your decision to use an agency or not, but if you do then check their terms, fees and replacement guarantee at the start so that you know what you may be signing up to. Good agencies will generally highlight these either on their website or by email, or both.
Aside from the nanny’s salary, what additional costs should I budget for?
This will typically be travel and visa costs, usually medical insurance cover, as well as food, board and accommodation whilst working as part of the contract.
At what point do I pay the agency fees?
A placement fee will be invoiced once you offer the role to one of the candidates we have introduced to you. This is due for payment immediately to secure the placement and the terms of business cover your guarantees, so please ensure you are happy with these prior to starting the search. If you choose not to hire any staff we introduce, there will be no fee due.
