What to Expect From the Placement Process

Hiring a nanny is an important decision for any household. Kensington guides families through a structured placement process designed to ensure clarity, preparation, and long-term compatibility.

Family Consultation

We begin by learning about your household routines, priorities, and the type of support your family is seeking.

Role Preparation

Together we clarify responsibilities, schedule expectations, and compensation guidelines so the position is clearly defined. We can refine as needed once priorities become clear.

Candidate Search & Screening

Qualified candidates are identified and carefully vetted to ensure their experience and CareStyle align with the household.

Interviews & Trial Days

Families meet selected candidates and observe how the nanny interacts with the children and daily routines.

Placement & Ongoing Support

Once a nanny is selected, Kensington provides guidance through the hiring process, creates a Day One work schedule with the family, and provides onboarding assistance.

Why Families Choose Kensington

Most families seeking in-home care often prefer the guidance of a dedicated nanny agency rather than navigating informal hiring platforms on their own.

Kensington approaches each placement with careful preparation and discretion. Every nanny is evaluated through a thorough vetting process, helping ensure the nanny’s natural abilities align with the household’s routines and childcare priorities.

Families choose Kensington because they value:

Through this structured process, families are able to hire with confidence while maintaining a smooth and well-supported household environment.

Choose the Plan That Fits Your Family

Every family approaches hiring differently. Some prefer a guided process with support along the way, while others benefit from a fully managed search.

For that reason, Kensington offers placement plans designed to reflect the level of involvement each household prefers while maintaining the same standard of preparation.

Whether families prefer a more hands-on process or a concierge-level search, each placement is approached with the same careful attention to compatibility and long-term success.

Lauren B.
Cherry Hills, CO

“As a first-time mom, I have never had a nanny or used a nanny agency and was completely blown away by Kensington Nanny after finding them through online searches. They were super responsive, easy to work with, and most importantly…found my 9-month daughter an incredible nanny who she loved and who I felt comfortable leaving her with. I cannot recommend Kensington Nanny Service enough and would 100% use them again.”
