Jigsaw Nannies boasts a wealth of experience, energy and enthusiasm and was founded on the premise that there is an ideal nanny for every family. Our methods are borne from the understanding and insights gained from being on both sides - as nannies for over twelve years and also in researching and recruiting suitable candidates to care for our own children.

Bursting with vitality and motivation, we are an approachable and caring agency. Our experience means that we understand your concerns as a parent to find the right person for your precious little ones as well as someone who is going to fit in with your needs as a family. We are dedicated to providing the right match for both the family and the nanny.

Our devotion and personal touch includes one to one meetings with you and continued communications with both families and nannies after all successful introductions have been made. This ensures you feel supported throughout your first year.

We will also keep you up-to-date with our quarterly newsletter and developments within the child-care industry and are happy to share our experience with our series of added values which will walk you through subjects such as "the key questions to ask when interviewing" and "How to encourage a trusting relationship between family and nanny".

Our five simple steps to mutual success are:

STEP 1
Once we have received your signed registration form we can get things moving. We will know from your answers a little bit more about your family's needs. We will make it our priority to understand your particular requirements so that we can find the perfect match for you.  We are at hand to give you advice as to what type of person (in our experience) would suit your particular "wish list" for a nanny.

STEP 2
We will shortly be sending you CV's of all the nannies that we feel will be best suited to your personal criteria and individual needs. As well as giving you the usual information regarding background and experience of the candidate, our CV's are complied with our views of the kind of family best suited to the candidate - we understand that your time is precious and feel that this insight is helpful for you to make a decision on first interviews. When you decide on suitable candidates for interview, please take note of their names and reference numbers and call/email us the details. We are happy to talk things through at this stage.

STEP 3
We will arrange a convenient time for both parties to meet. This is normally at the home of the employer and where the nanny would be working. We suggest that a first interview be arranged with the parents only, and if this is successful, a second interview with the whole family.   In our experience, the reaction of your child to the proposed candidate is the final but important seal you need before you hire.

STEP 4
Once you have decided on a suitable nanny, you must contact the agency immediately so we can put forward your offer.

STEP 5 When an offer has been accepted we will send out a letter of appointment to confirm with the nanny their start date, hours and wage.
We would be more than happy to advise you regarding contracts, which we suggest are signed within 7 days of the nanny's start date. We can also supply you with recommended payroll and tax companies who
specialise in this area.

Your child's well-being and happiness is paramount to us, as is understanding the importance of assisting their growth and interest in the world around them. We are sure you'll agree that completing your family picture is best accomplished when you choose a professional Jigsaw Nanny!
