Our Process

At Top Hat Nannies, we offer a discreet and highly personalised recruitment service designed for discerning families. Our meticulous process ensures that every placement reflects the highest standards of professionalism, compatibility, and trust.
1. Private Consultation
We begin with a confidential consultation to gain a deep understanding of your household, lifestyle, and childcare philosophy. This allows us to identify not only the skills required, but also the personality and character that will best complement your family.
2. Bespoke Role Design
Following our consultation, we carefully define the role and expectations, creating a tailored brief that reflects your family’s unique needs, schedule, and preferences.
3. Targeted Talent Search
Using our trusted network of experienced nannies and private household professionals, we conduct a highly selective search to identify candidates who meet the highest standards of experience, discretion, and professionalism.
4. Comprehensive Vetting
Every candidate undergoes an extensive screening process including in-depth interviews, identity verification, reference checks, background screening, and professional assessment to ensure they meet our exceptional standards.
5. Curated Shortlist
We present a carefully selected shortlist of outstanding candidates who match your requirements. Detailed candidate profiles allow you to review experience, qualifications, and references before proceeding to interviews.
6. Interviews & Trial
Families are invited to interview their preferred candidates. Where appropriate, we can also arrange trial days to ensure a natural and confident fit within the household.
7. Placement & Ongoing Support
Once the ideal candidate is selected, we manage the placement process and remain available to provide continued support, ensuring a smooth and successful long-term relationship.
