How to Register with us
Step 1:
REGISTERING WITH US
Using the form below, fill out the appropriate details. A member of our team will contact you to arrange a personal interview via an agreed upon platform of online video call [EG. Whatsapp video chat]. Prior to the call we will send you a detailed information pack on how we work and set your exceptions on the next steps.
Step 2:
IN-PERSON MEETING
At an agreed convenient location we will arrange an in-person meeting to discuss how you prefer to work and what your ideal job entails. The meeting will last approximately one hour during which we will ask you to be honest and open when answering any questions. We want to ensure you experience optimum job satisfaction in your new role and are comfortable taking on any challenges you may be faced with. We will run through your job history and identify any aspects of a job that do and do not work for you.
Step 3:
JOB PLACEMENT
We will send you through any jobs we believe are suitable for you, alternatively if you find any jobs advertised by our agency feel free to apply via the platform you found it. If you are already registered with us we will arrange a video or telephone call to discuss the advertised position. Once you have registered interest in a role we will send you a comprehensive overview of what the job entails and how the family run their home. We spent one-on-one time with all of our clients to ensure we can paint our nannies an accurate picture of what will be expected of them to maximise job satisfaction in a role.
Step 4: INTERVIEW
If we deem you to be an appropriate candidate for a role, we will send your details over to the family. If the family decide to proceed with your application, we will contact you to arrange an appropriate time for an online interview.
Step 5:
JOB TRIAL
After an interview with a family you may be asked to attend a short trial day with the family. We recommend to the families that job trials last no more than 3 hours. They are under no obligation to pay you for your time but they may do at their own discretion.
Step 6:
JOB PLACEMENT
If you are chosen by a family, congratulations on your new role! Starting a new job can be an exciting time but it may also bring feelings of anxiety. We are there to support you all the way. Here at Pocketbook Nannies we have plenty of firsthand experience with agencies who go radio silent on you the minute you have been placed on a job. With new jobs their will always be some teething issues, even if you are the most perfect match for them. We provide ongoing support for both our nannies and our clients. After your first day on the job we will call you to check in on how it went and check that everything is running as agreed. We will do the same for our clients. We will also follow up after the first week to check everyone is settling into their new roles. The same will be done after one month. Going forward we will separately send regular monthly emails to yourself and to your new bosses to ensure everyone is still happy and that things are going as they should be.
As our nannies it is extremely important to us that you are comfortable in your place of work and that you are treated fairly and with respect. Nannies don’t have a HR department to lean on, so let us fulfil that role for you.
