Our Nanny/Carer Selection Process
The Interview
- Candidates call their local Milestonz Nannies agency directly in response to articles in
the print media, newspaper advertisement, the yellow pages, word-of-mouth referrals (most common)
or our website;
- All prospective candidates are screened over the phone first and if successful, an appointment
is scheduled immediately for a face-to-face interview;
- Applicants need to bring a copy of their resume and references, a current driver's licence or
passport or both, any evidence of Criminal Checks, Health Checks and First Aid certification, plus
a recent photograph to the interview;
- The applicant first completes a 4 page application form, then an interview is conducted to
assess the applicant's suitability for registration with Milestonz Nannies;
- Any inconsistencies are noted, as are details of their family, educational and working
background. Reasons for their career choices are noted and all applicants are assessed subjectively
for personality traits, grooming and general disposition;
- Applicants not meeting our criteria are advised
at the time of the interview, and noted as "deregistered" on our database. This ensures
we do not register this person at a later date in error.
Quality Control
- Applicants are given 1 month from the date of interview to return their police and health checks and
to register to update or obtain a first aid certificate;
- Milestonz International reserves the right to de-register or refrain from registering applicants who:
- do not meet their selection criteria;
- do not turn up for interview times as arranged with either the agency or a family;
- do not return their police and health check documents within one month of registration;
- do not conduct themselves in a responsible and mature manner once placed with a family;
- do not update Milestonz Nannies agencies on their current address and contact details.
- Our Quality Control system ensures that the qualifications of all our currently registered
nannies are kept up-to-date.
