Find Your Perfect Nanny

Ideal childcare in just a few simple steps

How It Works

1

Arrange an Initial Consultation

Contact us by telephone, email, or WhatsApp. In a no-obligation initial conversation, we get to know your family and discuss your individual needs and wishes regarding childcare.

What we discuss:

  • Care days, times, and scope
  • Special requirements and preferences
  • Ages and needs of your children
  • Language preferences
  • Additional tasks (housekeeping, driving, etc.)
2

Receive Suitable Nanny Profiles

Based on your requirements, we select the most suitable candidates from our pool of qualified nannies. You will receive detailed profiles including qualifications, experience, and references.

Our nannies have:

  • A childcare qualification or many years of experience
  • Up-to-date references
  • Further training certificates / criminal records check
  • First aid training (e.g. paediatric first aid)
3

Organise a Meet-and-Greet

We arrange personal meetings between your family and the selected nannies. This gives you the opportunity to form your own impression and assess whether the chemistry is right.

Tip: Involve your children in the introduction process. The bond between a nanny and a child is crucial to successful care.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the placement process take?

As a rule, we find suitable candidates for you within 1–3 weeks. For very specific requirements, it may take a little longer, as every placement is as individual as the family itself.

Can I meet the nanny beforehand?

Yes, absolutely! We arrange personal introductory meetings before you make your decision. You can meet several nannies if you wish.
Our goal is to find the right person for a harmonious, long-term arrangement — not just a quick fix.

What happens if the nanny is ill?

We will help you to organise cover care if needed.

Do I need to deal with social insurance myself?

No, we handle all of that entirely on your behalf. We register the nanny with all relevant bodies and process the monthly payroll.
