7 reasons WHY you should Nanny through an Agency
While operating as a ‘solo’ Nanny may seem an attractive idea, it can also be challenging- Here are 7 reasons to work through an agency.
Maintaining your Professional Development
The responsibility for maintaining your Professional competencies is yours, so please review this annually to stay compliant with the industry standards.
“Life Long Learning”- Professional Development is key!
Your career is in Your hands… Professional Development experience could be what makes you more attractive to a potential employer or client, as it could give you that edge within a recruitment process.
No matter what career path we choose, what is it that makes a professional stand apart from others in the field?
PEACE of mind for your interview with families
After the thorough screening process within our recruitment department you might go for another interview with our families for them to choose the best match for their family.
Such an interview usually takes place in the family’s homes and can be quite scary.
How do you succeed in one of those interviews?
We suggest you use a PEACE approach to your interviews.
Phone manners matter
As important as the face-to-face interview is, your recruitment process begins a lot earlier. And while there are lots of articles out there that focus on your resume, a crucial part of the process is the first call from your potential future employer.
The recruiter is not just making a phone call to book you in for an interview, they are pre-screening you to see how you present yourself over the phone, and whether your answers are applicable and valid for the advertised position. This is your opportunity to make a positive first impression.
