Services we offer

The following services are provided by Village Nannies:
 
  • We screen all candidates extensively, check references and interview them personally. This includes ensuring that they speak and understand English or Afrikaans well, and that they have at least one to two years of full-time experience with children under 2 years of age. You may also contact the references yourself if you so wish, as sometimes referees are more forthcoming to potential employers.
  • We will arrange for you to interview 3 candidates, or more if needed, in your own home, at your convenience. We are happy to advise you on all aspects of the process, eg deciding what your needs are, interview questions, etc. We recommend that candidates travelling by public transport be reimbursed for their travelling expenses, usually R30.
  • We arrange for at least one week’s trial period to see how the candidate integrates with your family and how you relate to each other.


  • Tania will come to your home to facilitate the signing of a contract between you and the employee. We also provide you with the UIF forms and a payslip template.
  • We offer an ongoing mediation and support service to help maintain a positive working relationship.
  • We guarantee that during a three month replacement period, should you or the chosen candidate decide to terminate your employment relationship, we will replace her free of charge.
