At Burlington Nannies, we know that the qualifications and experience of a nanny or governess are incredibly important when it comes to childcare. However, we also believe that personality is just as essential in ensuring a successful placement. A nurturing, compatible personality can make all the difference in creating a harmonious environment for both children and families.
The key to a successful childcare placement is the match between the caregiver and the family. While experience and qualifications certainly matter, it’s the personal traits of a nanny, governess, or tutor that truly help a child thrive. At Burlington Nannies, we focus on more than just a candidate’s CV; we place a strong emphasis on understanding their personality, values, and childcare approach. This is crucial for building lasting and meaningful relationships.
Our recruitment process goes beyond reviewing qualifications. Every candidate is carefully interviewed for at least an hour by our experienced team. We dive deep into their professional background—examining their experience, training, and certifications—but we also prioritise their personal qualities. We explore how they view their role in a child’s life, their approach to discipline, nutrition, education, and even their future plans. This thorough understanding helps us ensure that we match families with caregivers who share similar values and align with their needs.
Matching skills is important, but personality compatibility is what truly matters. A nanny who shares the same ethos, parenting style, and expectations as a family is far more likely to bond with the children and create a positive environment. When children feel secure and understood by their caregiver, they’re more likely to develop trust and thrive in their care.
At Burlington Nannies, we know that every family has unique needs, so we take a personalised, hands-on approach. We only present candidates that we believe are the perfect fit for the role, based on an in-depth assessment of their qualifications and personality. Our recruitment process includes providing clients with a comprehensive package that features a detailed CV, a description of the candidate’s personality, and all necessary documentation, including references and proof of identity. We also ensure that all candidates undergo a criminal record check for added peace of mind.
The role of a nanny goes beyond just looking after children; they become a trusted member of the family, guiding, educating, and nurturing children during their formative years. This is why finding the right personality to match the family dynamic is so important.
By prioritising personality alongside qualifications, we make sure both families and caregivers have the best experience possible. At Burlington Nannies, we believe that our success lies in this personal approach, providing families with not only skilled professionals but also the right personalities to create lasting, positive impacts on their children’s lives.
In the end, it’s the care, understanding, and connection between a nanny and the family that truly makes the difference—and we’re proud to help facilitate that perfect match.
