Frequently asked questions

What is your guarentee?

Nanny Poppins is pleased to offer a 30 day placement guarantee.  If for any reason your current Nanny is not working out, we will find the replacement free of charge. 

What other benefits will I need to offer a nanny?

Benefits are not mandated by our agency or by law.  Additional benefits to consider are health insurance, use of a family car or transportation allowance, paid holiday, paid sick leave. Live-in nannies are also offered housing, to include a separate bedroom, separate bathroom, and use of the common spaces within the home.  If the nanny is relocating to accept a position with your family, your family may want to consider paying for one-way airline, train or bus fare and other travel-related expenses.

To attract the best nannies, you should offer a comprehensive benefits package.

How does your agency screen nannies?

Only candidates who have a minimum of three years of childcare experience are allowed to register with our agency.  We conduct a thorough interview with all nannies.  We verify all childcare references.  We conduct a background screening which includes a criminal background check and employment history verification.  All nannies must be CPR and First Aid certified or must be willing to become certified prior to commencement of employment. 

In what areas of Portugal do you refer nannies?

Although we are based in Cascais, our services cover the whole of mainland Portugal. If you are unsure if we service your local area, please drop us an e-mail. We actually work worldwide, so wherever you are in the world, you can have your very own Nanny Poppins.

Can you provide references from families who have used your agency?

Absolutely we will be glad to provide you with many of our family references.  Send us a message via the contact page.

What are the costs associated with using your agency?

Nanny Poppins charges an agency fee for our services.  All fees are based on the value of the nanny’s salary and are one time payment. 20% of the agency fee is due upon requesting our services to cover admin work. This deposit is non refundable. The balance is due once your chosen nanny has accepted an employment offer with your family. Please see our services page for more info or drop us an e-mail.
