Our Placement Process: Step-by-Step
Hiring a nanny should feel empowering, not overwhelming. That’s why Kensington Nanny simplifies the process for busy families with a proven, high-touch placement system designed for long-term success. Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Share Your Family’s Needs
We begin with a personalized consultation to understand your household, parenting style, and expectations. Whether you need full-time coverage, weekend help, or specialized infant care, we’ll get the full picture before we recruit.
Step 2: We Recruit and Pre-Screen Top Candidates
Our team conducts a custom search for every family. We don’t pull from a static list — we proactively recruit, interview, and evaluate nannies who meet your exact criteria, including location, schedule, personality, and experience.
Step 3: Interview With Our Support
You’ll receive a curated selection of candidates, each personally interviewed and vetted. We coordinate interviews and trials and give you questions to ask and red flags to look for, making the process smooth and efficient.
Step 4: Guidance on Trials, Pay Package & Work Agreement
We support you through every detail of the offer process — from negotiating fair compensation to outlining duties in a clear, written agreement that protects both sides.
Step 5: Ongoing Support After the Hire
Our relationship doesn’t end with the placement. We stay in touch to ensure your nanny is a good fit and support you with advice, replacement options if needed, and additional resources throughout the year.
Types of Childcare We Offer
Every family has different needs — and every role we fill is customized. Kensington Nanny specializes in nanny and newborn care, providing flexible, high-quality childcare options tailored to your lifestyle and schedule:
Full-Time Nannies
Ideal for families needing consistent, reliable help throughout the week. Our full-time nannies manage everything from school prep and activities to meal prep and routines.
Part-Time Nannies
For families who need coverage a few days a week or just mornings or afternoons, our part-time options bring structure and dependability without the full-time commitment.
Afterschool & Weekend Help
Whether your child needs a driver to sports practice or someone to supervise while you attend an evening event, our nannies can be available when your family needs coverage the most.
Newborn Care Specialists (NCS)
Expert caregivers trained in infant sleep, feeding, and early development. NCS services are perfect for new parents who want support through the night or around-the-clock help during the early months.
Temporary & On-Call Babysitters
Need help during school breaks, family events, or when your regular nanny is away? Our trusted temporary staff are available for one-off or short-term jobs — without sacrificing quality or vetting.
Mother’s Helpers
For stay-at-home or work-from-home parents who want a second set of hands. Mother’s helpers support routines while allowing you to stay involved in your child’s care.
We’ll guide you to the right fit based on your child’s age, your household needs, and your parenting style.
What Sets Kensington Apart
Not all nanny agencies are created equal. At Kensington, our service goes beyond simply connecting families with caregivers — we act as your advocate, advisor, and long-term partner in care.
Custom Recruiting for Every Role
We never rely on outdated databases. Our team actively recruits for each family, screening every candidate with your household’s unique needs in mind.
Dedicated Family Coordinator
You have the option to work with one consistent point of contact who guides you through the process, offers honest insight, and helps navigate decisions with clarity and confidence.
Comprehensive Vetting Process
Each candidate undergoes thorough screening: identity and eligibility verification, driving and background checks, reference calls, and a detailed behavioral interview.
Clear Expectations for a Successful Match
We help establish roles, boundaries, and communication preferences before the job begins — giving your nanny a strong foundation for success.
Post-Placement Support
You’re never on your own. We stay connected after your hire to help ensure things go smoothly. If concerns arise, you have a partner to turn to — and a 90-day replacement policy for peace of mind.
At Kensington, we’re not just filling a job. We’re building trusted relationships between families and professional nannies and newborn care specialists who will shape a child’s early world.
