For professionals working with children, particular attention is paid to reliability, emotional stability, attentiveness, honesty, respect for the family’s boundaries, confidentiality, and the ability to remain calm in unexpected situations.
How the Recruitment Process Works
We begin with a consultation with the family to discuss the child’s age, personality, daily routine, health requirements, educational goals, language of communication, schedule, duties, and expectations regarding the candidate’s personal qualities.
We then create the position profile, search our database and international network, conduct preliminary screening, present a shortlist of suitable candidates, arrange interviews, and organise trial days where required.
