Want to become part of
our network?
We created a small network of trustful & amazing child caregivers. Nannies or babysitters, our views in parenting are fundamentally similar. We align with child led methods of learning and caring. Furthermore, we emphasize gentle care & respectfulness. Other than connecting families with loving caregivers, we share knowledge and information between us and have nannies with different levels of experience who help each other out.
​
We are actively looking for new members who share the same view as us to join us: so if you are interested please read our code of conduct and Criteria and fill the form below:
In order to be a part of the Nannies of Lisbon Network, the caregivers that apply must go through a screening process to make sure that they fit into the criteria involving five different steps:
Having a CV + Recommendation
The CV must include the nanny’s experience, skills, languages, and other abilities that may
interest the families, as well as family testimonials and recommendations.
Speaking English
Since the vast majority of our families are international, and most of our nannies too, we have decided that it’s crucial for all the nannies to speak basic English in order to better communicate with the families. Every other language is a big plus.
Be educated on respectful methods of “Educaring”
The “Educaring” approach believes parents and caretakers must have respect for infants and trust that they are natural inventors, explorers, and self-learners. Our work as private child-carers is more than looking after children and keeping them safe (although that’s of the utmost importance). We need to be aware of all the moral responsibility that comes with teaching values daily as well as being on the same page as parents in order to keep a safe and calm environment for the child where the rules and methods followed don’t change from caregiver to caregiver.
Having at least one professional experience taking care of children
Having had experience taking care of children in their own family or with friends is valuable but unfortunately not enough to start working with us. The caregiver must have experience taking care of children in a professional environment to apply.
Availability to work and good communication
The nannies must be engaged in the group chat or at least aware of changes made. They also need to be available to answer calls and texts from interested parents at any time.
