Nanny Watch

Spice Girl Gerri Halliwell was recently forced to go through the ordeal of finding her nanny had allegedly assaulted her child that had been left in her care….a nanny that she had gone to great lengths to ensure was responsible, qualified and suitable for the position. For many parents, who try to combine their careers with a family, a nanny is not a luxury, but an absolute necessity. It is possible to carry out all manner of checks on prospective carers and find they have no previous history or wrongdoing. Nobody does….until they are caught. Your nanny, or housekeeper, may seem the embodiment of sweetness and light while you are around, but when you are not there, are they still as trustworthy, diligent and responsible? Are the company they invite to your house while you at away or at work suitable to be in the company of your child?

We can watch the behaviour of your nanny, au pair or housekeeper, both inside and outside the house, or provide you the means of doing so. There is nothing in the world so valuable to you as your children, and very few things as comforting as peace of mind. We can carry out, in person, those checks that were previously a brief telephone call or quickly penned letter. Current legislation means it is difficult for a previous employer to write a negative reference. You also have to rely on the fact that the person quoted as a reference actually employed the person you are about to hire. Through associates in Poland and Czech Republic we are also able to carry out enquiries abroad on your behalf.
