Not just another CV scan

Nanny assessments & screeningThe scores behind a good match.

Two assessments. Same for every nanny. So you can compare style and readiness before the first awkward interview silence.

Decision-support on the profile. Not a background check, police clearance, medical exam, visa check, or hiring guarantee.

Readiness
Compass style
On every profile
Readiness

Are they actually ready for the job?

Every listed nanny takes this. You get a clear read on character, skills, and motivation before you shortlist.

Three things we measure

  • Practical Ability (Aptitude)

    Can they actually handle the job? Skills, knowledge, and real-world childcare know-how.

  • Traits & Behaviour (Personality)

    Patience, emotional intelligence, and how they naturally click with kids.

  • Mindset & Motivation (Attitude)

    Work ethic and dedication. The difference between showing up and really showing up.

How to read the score

Start with the overall number, then dig into the dimensions. The mix often matters more than the total.

  • 75%+ · Passed

    Ready to go

    Strong across the board. Built for families who want someone who can work independently.

  • 40-74% · Growing

    Promising, still learning

    Peek at the dimension scores. Great if you like mentoring and growing together.

  • Below 40%

    Early days

    Just starting out. Worth a look if you have capacity to guide and they have the right energy.

Pro move: High on Traits & Behaviour, lower on Practical Ability? Still a great pick if connection with your kids comes first.

Caregiving Compass

Personality, without the personality quiz vibes

A shortcut to how they approach care. Handy for matching, and for the everyday employer-nanny dynamic.

Finding your match

Each nanny gets a type from these four (like O-B-E-F). Use it to:

  • Match your values

    Find nannies whose style lines up with how you want your kids raised.

  • See how they operate

    Get a feel for their natural rhythm with children before you meet.

  • Pair complementary strengths

    A structured nanny can steady a chaotic week. An extrovert can help a shy child open up.

  • Set the vibe early

    Know what to expect so day one feels like a fit, not a surprise.

No gold star type. Only the best match for your household rhythm and your kids' personalities.

Why bother?

Because hiring on vibes alone is exhausting

Structured signals so you can hire with a clearer head (and fewer “what ifs”).

Skip the guesswork

Style, communication, and readiness at a glance. Less scrolling, more shortlisting.

Find your people

Compass profiles help you match energy and values, not just years of experience.

Decide before you meet

Standardised signals beyond resumes and interviews, so the first chat starts warmer.
