The agency will interview, follow up all references and carry out all checks on all nannies but it is ultimately down to the client to make any further enquiries to gain suitability of the nanny.

The agency gives no guarantee regarding the suitably, character, medical condition or capability of the nanny and so will not accept any responsibility for any action taken by the nanny whilst on duty.
