Miss Governess International does a specific search and selection to find the most qualified caregivers who match your family’s requirements. After interviewing each candidate, we then create a final list of three to five caregivers, who we feel will best fit into your family. We will share our interview notes so you can better understand the quality & personality of each candidate we introduce. You decide which candidates you would like to interview yourself.

You can interview our selected candidates either over the phone, via Skype or in person. We will help arrange these interviews, so they fit around your schedule. In order to help you choose your perfect match, upon request, we can offer psychologist’s guidance, interview tips and a selection of helpful interview questions. We listen carefully to all your concerns and happily take on any feedback you have for us. Finally, we review the impressions of both your family and the candidates.

We understand some families may still have doubts after the interview, so if you would like a candidate to complete additionally psychological and child development knowledge tests, you may request this free of charge service, too! Our Agency is using only appropriate, standardized Psychometric Testing oriented towards childcare and designed to be used with caregivers. It’s this extra care and attention to detail that we put into each individual family, that differs us from other agencies and makes our approach unique!

When a family feels comfortable with the selected candidate and decides to offer him or her the job, we can help you draft a work agreement to make sure no key consideration has been overlooked. Once the candidate has accepted the offer, he or she is directly employed by the family. Only at this stage is the appropriate agency fee invoice created (AGENCY FEE).

We understand the busy lifestyles of our clients, upon request, we can help with the candidate’s travel arrangements. With our agency, this free of charge service can make the final transition easy and pain free for you and your family.

After the placement of our candidate, we will contact both you and the candidate to assess the working relationship. We offer post-placement support, so whatever your concerns, we will be always here to help you. What we are most proud of here at Miss Governess International, is knowing that we have done everything possible to find that perfect fit for your family. Hearing that both your family and the candidate have created a special bond, is the reason why we go above and beyond the norm to make sure that we find the right caregiver for you.
