BOOKING PROCESS

Private Maternity Nurse, Nanny & Childcare Placement Service

​

Engagements are accepted on a strictly limited, confidential, and principal-led basis.
This is not a high-volume agency service.

​

Before You Submit Your Enquiry

​

NNEB Paragon is a private, principal-led placement and advisory service introducing highly qualified maternity nurses, nannies, governesses and mannies to discerning families in the UK and internationally.

​

We represent experienced childcare professionals holding recognised government-regulated qualifications, including NNEB, Norland and equivalent credentials, for both staffed and private households worldwide.

 

Engagement Fee

​

A non-refundable Engagement Fee of £500 is required to initiate the placement process.

​

This fee covers:

​

• Initial consultation and requirement assessment

• Professional time and advisory input

• Commencement of a discreet, tailored search

 

An invoice will be issued once your enquiry has been reviewed and accepted.

Only enquiries aligned with our service structure and minimum booking requirements will be progressed.

​

Placement Fee ​

​

We believe families should understand our fees from the outset. Unlike many recruitment agencies that charge a percentage of annual salary, NNEB Paragon operates a transparent fixed-fee model.

Placement fees are payable upon the successful placement of a Maternity Nurse.

​

​

Nanny Placements

Placement Process

​

Step 1 — Private Enquiry & Acceptance​

​

Submit your confidential enquiry outlining your requirements, household structure, and anticipated timeframe.

​

Following review, suitable enquiries will be accepted and an invoice issued for the Engagement Fee.

​

Step 2 — Advisory & Requirement Scoping​

​

Your requirements are personally reviewed to establish a clear brief, including:

​

• Household environment and expectations

• Scope of role and working structure

• Practical considerations for international or complex placements

​

Step 3 — Curated Search & Professional Vetting

​

A discreet search is conducted within a trusted network of experienced maternity nurses.

​

Each candidate is professionally assessed and vetted, which may include:

​

• Verification of qualifications and professional background

• Review of relevant experience within private households

• Reference checks and professional conduct assessment

• Suitability for the specific household and engagement

​

This is a selective, principal-led process. We do not operate an open database or circulate enquiries widely.

​

Step 4 — Private Introduction​

​

Following our selection process, we will introduce you to the most suitable available candidate(s) for your requirements.

​

All discussions regarding the position, working arrangements, availability and final professional fees then take place directly between you and the selected childcare professional(s).

​

Step 5 — Booking Confirmation

​

The client enters into a direct agreement with their chosen maternity nurse or nanny.

The Placement Fee becomes payable upon a confirmation of the booking.
