Our nanny screening: rigorous, careful and personalized

At 24nannies, we don’t settle for quick matches or superficial conversations. Our screening process is carefully structured with multiple professional tools and evaluation methods. Each nanny goes through an extensive process in which we review background information, verify previous work experience and test their motivation, among other things. With over a decade of experience, we know exactly what to look for and where risks may be hiding.

References and reliability: no question

We take screening extremely seriously. With more than a decade of experience and several screening trainings on our team, we have developed a keen eye for quality as well as reliability. Each nanny is screened using multiple professional tools and according to the four-eye principle, at least two colleagues independently assess each candidate.

Providing references is mandatory, but even if not, we contact previous employers ourselves. We want a complete picture of the full frame of reference: how did the nanny function in previous families, how long did she stay, and how was she perceived?

During our screening we pay attention to:

  • Long-term experience: has the nanny proven long-term employability within families?
  • Background and stability: we perform a comprehensive background check based on work history, educational history and any gaps
  • Reference check: we check all references provided and also actively request additional references
  • Personality match: does the nanny fit the family in terms of character, values and communication
  • Screening tools: we use multiple structured tools to test behavior, reliability and motivation
  • Consistent employability: how flexible and available is the nanny on a structural basis
  • Evaluation by two professionals: each candidate is evaluated by two different people within our team

Only nannies who meet all these conditions are included in our selection. This way we make sure you can rely on a safe, stable and long term solution for your family.

The right match starts with the right screening

A nanny can be so good on paper…. if it doesn’t fit with the family, it won’t work. That’s why we also screen for personality, communication style and family dynamics. We take a four-eye look at each candidate so that no detail is overlooked. Our team is trained in interview techniques and behavior analysis, and we only settle for nannies in whom we have one hundred percent confidence.
