How long does the placement process usually take?

Most placements are finalised within 7 to 14 days. We prioritise quality matching over speed, but we can accommodate urgent requests whenever possible.

What happens if a placement isn’t the right fit for our family?

If a placement does not work out during the agreed guarantee window, we initiate a priority replacement search at no additional agency fee. We also stay in touch with structured check-ins at 30, 60, and 90 days to address any issues early.

How do you screen and vet candidates before they meet us?

Every candidate goes through our 7-Point Vetting Protocol, which includes a structured interview, identity and right-to-work verification, criminal background screening, driving record checks (where relevant), direct reference checks, qualification verification, and a Pairology Compatibility Assessment.

Do you offer trial days?

Yes. We coordinate 1- to 3-day paid trial sessions so both the family and the candidate can assess real-world chemistry, routine handling, and engagement before making a final decision.

What areas do you serve?

We currently focus on placements in and around Fourways area. If you’re outside this region, get in touch and we’ll let you know whether we can assist.
