Our approach

From first conversation to settled in

You are inviting someone into your home and your child’s everyday life. You deserve time, clear answers and a real person who understands what is at stake.

Four stages, from the first conversation to life after the placement.

The four stages

A thoughtful search, with a person beside you at every step.

A real conversation

We talk through the hours you need covered, the ages and needs of the children, and what has or has not worked before. Nothing is payable at this stage.

Search and screening

We search our roster and, where needed, beyond it. Every candidate is screened before you ever see their profile.

Introductions

You meet the caregivers we would be comfortable recommending. You interview them yourself, in your own home if you prefer.

Placement and after

We help agree the working arrangement, then stay reachable. Most questions after a placement starts take one phone call.

What we verify

Careful screening, explained in plain language.

A real interview

We get to know the caregiver, their experience and the kind of family and role they can commit to.

References, spoken to

We speak directly with references and review work history rather than relying on a résumé alone.

Identity & eligibility

We verify identity and eligibility to work before presenting a candidate.

Checks for the role

We complete role-appropriate background screening and verify current certifications, such as CPR and first aid, where the role requires them.

Before you meet a caregiver

Before a caregiver is presented to any family we confirm their identity and their eligibility to work. We take up references and speak to them directly rather than accepting written ones at face value. We review their work history and ask about the gaps.

Where a role calls for it we confirm current certifications such as CPR and first aid, and we run the background screening appropriate to the position.

We tell you what was checked and what was not. If something could not be verified, you hear that from us before you meet anyone.

We stay with you

The first weeks are a beginning, not the end of our involvement. We check in as your family and caregiver settle in together and stay reachable through the placement.

When a schedule changes or expectations need talking through, you still have someone to call. Tell us early, so there is room to work through it together.

Questions about nanny placement

How long does a search take?

Most searches take a few weeks. Your schedule, location and the role all affect timing. We talk through what is realistic for your particular search.

What if the placement does not work out?

A replacement search is available within the guarantee period in your placement agreement, without another placement fee. We explain the terms before you commit.

Who employs the nanny?

Trinity is a referral and placement agency. The caregiver works for your household. Employment arrangements and obligations are yours to understand and agree with your caregiver.
