Matching ledger

We prepare a focused shortlist by reviewing the role before we present candidates.

Reviewed with families

  • Work schedule and coverageChecked
  • Infant care, school support, and household skillsChecked
  • Language needs and communication styleChecked
  • Live-in or live-out expectationsChecked
  • Family routines, travel, and boundariesChecked
  • Reference and screening readinessChecked

What we do

  • Clarify schedule, age range, duties, language needs, household routines, and non-negotiable requirements.
  • Assess candidates against practical fit, not broad database browsing.
  • Present a focused shortlist with relevant background details for review.
  • Arrange interviews and help structure decision points before an offer is made.

What remains between family and nanny

  • Employment status, payroll method, taxes, leave, and day-to-day supervision.
  • The final job description, agreed hours, trial terms, and household boundaries.
  • The hiring decision and any contract signed after introductions are complete.
  • Ongoing management of the working relationship unless a separate support service is purchased.

This structure helps families compare candidates on schedule fit, childcare experience, household expectations, and communication style before moving into direct hiring discussions.

Schedule

We clarify hours, start time, evening coverage, travel expectations, school runs, weekend needs, and whether the role is full-time, part-time, temporary, live-in, or live-out.

Childcare scope

We define the children’s ages, daily routines, nap structure, learning support, outdoor time, meal preparation, and where the family needs confidence, consistency, or specialist experience.

Skills and languages

We note required qualifications, infant care experience, bilingual ability, first-aid knowledge, confidence with multiple children, and any household expectations that affect practical fit.

Family working style

Some families want a highly structured routine. Others prefer flexibility, travel readiness, or calm support around changing work schedules. We record those preferences before we approach candidates.

Trust framework

The brief also sets the screening standard. Depending on the role and legal scope, that may include recruiter interviews, identity checks, reference checks, and criminal-record checks before candidates are presented.

This role definition stage helps keep the search precise, the shortlist relevant, and the introduction process clear for both families and candidates. For a broader view of the method, see why structured matching matters.

Broad database search

  • Many profiles arrive before the role is clearly defined.
  • Interview time is spent filtering basic schedule conflicts.
  • Skills and household expectations are compared too late.
  • Families review volume instead of practical fit.
  • Terms, replacement conditions, and next steps often surface late.

Criteria-led shortlisting

  • We define the role first, including hours, routine, and care priorities.
  • Only candidates aligned with availability and placement type move forward.
  • Skills, language needs, and household expectations are checked early.
  • Families receive a focused shortlist built for practical fit.
  • Pricing, process, and placement terms are clarified before a serious lead.

What the match is built around

  • Weekly schedule, start date, travel expectations, and live-in or live-out structure.
  • Child age range, nursery or school routine, developmental support, and meal responsibilities.
  • Language preferences, household communication style, and preferred level of initiative.
  • Screening steps such as recruiter interviews, identity checks, references, and criminal-record checks where legally permitted.

Why families use this method

A structured brief reduces avoidable interviews and keeps attention on candidates who suit the actual home, not a generic job title.

Communication standard

We confirm schedule, duties, children’s ages, travel expectations, language needs, and household routines before presenting candidates. Families receive clear updates on timing, interview stages, and next decisions.

Fit standard

Matching is based on practical fit, not broad database browsing. We compare availability, childcare experience, infant or school-age strengths, household style, and comfort with the family’s pace and expectations.

Screening standard

Candidate review may include recruiter interviews, identity checks, reference checks, and criminal-record checks where legally permitted and relevant to the role. We describe the screening scope used for each search.

Agency position

www.torivandeluxa.com is a recruitment and placement agency that introduces candidates to families. The agency is not automatically the direct employer, and final employment terms are agreed between the hiring family and the selected candidate.

Transparency standard

Before a family proceeds with a serious search, we explain consultation fees, placement fees, replacement conditions, cancellation terms, and refund eligibility in straightforward language.

Review how these standards connect to role definition and the next consultation step.
