FAQ
Yes. Many families secure their nanny before relocating to ensure a smooth transition for their children. We regularly support families who are planning international moves by conducting interviews remotely, coordinating start dates around relocation timelines, and ensuring the nanny is prepared for the family’s destination, lifestyle, and cultural environment. This approach provides stability for children and peace of mind for parents during a major life change.
International placements require a particularly rigorous vetting process. Candidates are interviewed in depth, reference-checked with previous employers (often across multiple countries), and assessed for adaptability, discretion, and cultural awareness. We prioritise professionals with proven international or UHNW family experience, strong communication skills, and the ability to integrate seamlessly into different household environments.
Yes. Many international families seek bilingual or multilingual nannies to support language development and cultural continuity. We regularly place nannies fluent in English, French, Spanish, Italian, Hindi, and other languages, depending on the family’s needs and destination. Language requirements are carefully matched alongside childcare expertise and personality fit.
Our approach is relationship-led, discreet, and highly personalised. We focus on long-term placements, continuity of care, and building trusted partnerships with families, relocation advisors, and family offices. Every placement is handled with the same attention to detail, whether supporting a single relocation or managing childcare across multiple international homes.

Can you help us hire a nanny in Bermuda?
Yes. We regularly support families living in or relocating to Bermuda, including expatriate and internationally mobile households.

What type of nanny works best for families in Bermuda?
Families in Bermuda often seek experienced, adaptable nannies who are confident working independently, supporting school routines, and integrating into close-knit communities. Candidates with previous overseas or island experience are particularly well suited, especially for long-term or live-in roles.
Can you help with relocation and work permits in Bermuda?
While immigration advice is handled by specialist partners, we work closely with trusted professionals to align the recruitment process with Bermuda’s work permit requirements. This ensures families avoid delays and that the nanny’s start date fits seamlessly with approval timelines.
