How Does Pro Nannies Work?

Finding the perfect nanny-family match isn’t just about filling a role—it’s about building a lasting, positive relationship. At Pro Nannies, we take a thoughtful, nanny-first approach to ensure both families and nannies find the right fit, not just any fit.

In Episode 9 of our Playdate podcast, hosts Rée and Layla break down exactly how our process works, from vetting to matching and ongoing support. Here’s what you need to know:

A Nanny-First Approach

Unlike traditional agencies, Pro Nannies puts nannies at the heart of the process. Why? Because a happy, well-matched nanny leads to a happy family. We take the time to understand their skills, experience, values, and long-term career goals before introducing them to potential families.

This approach ensures that families are meeting nannies who truly align with their needs—not just someone who happens to be available.

Our Matching Process

Great matches don’t happen by accident. Here’s how we get it right:

Thorough Vetting – Every Pro Nanny is carefully screened to ensure they meet our high standards. We verify experience, qualifications, and references before they join our network.
Understanding Family Needs – Families complete a detailed questionnaire outlining their childcare requirements, parenting style, and household expectations.
Personalised Introductions – Rather than overwhelming families with endless profiles, we curate a shortlist of candidates who genuinely fit their needs.
Support Throughout – From interview tips to contract guidance, we support both parties throughout the hiring process to ensure clarity and confidence.

Why Ongoing Support Matters

Our work doesn’t stop once a match is made. We offer continued support to help both families and nannies navigate their working relationship. Whether it’s helping with communication challenges, setting expectations, or offering advice on contracts and pay, we’re here to make sure everything runs smoothly.
