HOW IT WORKS

At Nanara, we understand that welcoming someone into your home is a deeply personal decision. We take a thoughtful approach to matching families with trusted nannies who bring warmth, professionalism, and consistency to daily family life.

By taking time to understand your household and what matters most to you, we create placements that feel natural, supportive, and genuinely aligned with your family’s needs.

We are currently supporting families across London.

  • You begin by reaching out to us. We take the time to understand your family, your needs, and the type of support you’re looking for.

  • We have a relaxed, in-depth conversation to understand your routines, values, and what kind of personality would best fit into your household.

  • We introduce you to a small number of carefully selected nannies who we feel are genuinely aligned with your family - not just in experience, but in approach and energy.

  • You meet the nanny (or nannies) in a comfortable setting so you can see whether it feels like the right fit for your home.

  • Once you’ve found the right nanny, we’re here to help things settle smoothly - and remain available whenever you need us.

OUR SELECTION PROCESS

Safety & Compliance

All nannies must pass strict safeguarding checks, including a DBS, verified right to work in the UK, and a valid Paediatric First Aid certificate. We also complete detailed reference checks with previous employers to ensure full confidence in each candidate.

Our Vetting Process

At Nanara, every nanny is carefully reviewed for experience, consistency, and genuine commitment to childcare. We assess career history, qualifications, and long-term placements, followed by a structured interview to understand communication style, professionalism, and suitability.

Deeper Assessment

We go beyond qualifications to understand how each nanny will fit within a home. Through scenario-based interviews, we assess judgement, emotional intelligence, and approach under pressure, alongside temperament and values for compatibility.
