Our Process
Initial Consultation With Client
Once prospective clients register with us and send in their requirements, we organise an initial consultation with them to understand their childcare provider preferences and individual needs.
Client-Candidate Matching Process
Following the consultation, we create a shortlist of candidates who potentially suit the client’s requirements and conduct interviews to find the perfect match. Client-candidate interviews and trial periods are also included.
Final Arrangements
Once the client is happy with their childcare provider, we make all the final arrangements, including fees, employment contracts, and further partnership details, ensuring that both parties are 100% satisfied.
Security and Quality: Our Meticulous Vetting Process
We understand that inviting a stranger into your home can be a big step, regardless of how qualified or highly rated the individual is. This common concern is precisely why we have a strict vetting and security process in place, guaranteeing that the most reputable childcare providers join your family with immaculate references and records.
Every candidate applying to work at the London Governess undergoes an enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check, which thoroughly investigates the individual’s history. This allows us to ensure that all our candidates are genuine, top-tier professionals in their fields.
Likewise, our team of experienced consultants also verifies previous childcare work experience, qualifications, and references. For total peace of mind, we provide all clients with former employers’ contact details so you can contact them personally and ask any questions.
In addition, we also meet all prospective candidates either face-to-face or via video call to ensure their personal qualities and values meet our expectations. Clients are free to request any further background information if they wish to do so.
This meticulous vetting process allows the London Governess to guarantee that each candidate meets and exceeds all security and qualification requirements, ensuring that your chosen childcare provider is honest, respectful, discreet, and dependable.
Our Services
Governesses
If you’re looking for a traditional British governess to attend to childcare duties and guide your little ones, you’ve come to the right agency. All our governesses are fluent English speakers, trained to look after, educate, and accompany your children while teaching them core British values and a solid moral compass.
Nannies
From morning to midnight, our qualified, experienced, and dedicated nannies will attend to all childcare needs every step of the way. Whether it’s getting the kids dressed and ready for school, supervising their meals, accompanying them on walks, or helping them with their homework, our nannies are trained to look after children of all ages and abilities.
Maternity Nurses
Caring for a newborn can be exhausting, but it doesn’t have to be. The London Governess provides new and busy mothers with highly skilled, educated, and supportive maternity nurses keen to provide your newborn with all the love and care they need. And if you’re interested in learning more about infant childcare, our maternity nurses will be happy to teach you everything there is to know.
Private Tutors
From examination stress to dealing with difficult subjects, children of all ages require support from time to time to excel in their studies. Our knowledgeable, experienced, and patient private tutors are the perfect option for any parent looking to provide additional support for their child.
Private Teachers
Similar to private tutors, private teachers are hired to help children with any educational needs - from entrance exams to language learning to tackling particularly challenging subjects. However, our private teachers provide a flexible schedule and can accompany your children to various locations, including museums, libraries, and more.
Mannies (Male Nannies)
A healthy male influence can be paramount to your children’s development, especially regarding physical activity and guidance. Our male nannies are equipped with all the skills, experience, and enthusiasm necessary to provide your children with everything they need, including daily duties and recreational activities.
