Questions clients ask

Before we begin

Why do families choose Leaman Consulting to find their nanny or governess?

Choosing someone to care for your children is a deeply personal decision. Our division is led by Margaux Lemoine, a former professional nanny who understands that responsibility first-hand. We combine specialist recruitment knowledge with a warm, attentive approach, considering each candidate’s experience, references, qualifications and suitability for your children and family life.

How does your first-hand childcare experience help you find the right person for our family?

Having worked inside private family homes, Margaux understands the everyday realities of childcare and the relationship between parents and their nanny. This experience helps us ask meaningful questions about routines, development, parenting preferences and communication. Her multilingual background also brings valuable understanding to bilingual searches and families with international lifestyles.

How will you support us from our first conversation through interviews, trials and the placement?

We take time to understand your children, schedule and expectations before introducing carefully selected candidates. We guide you through interviews, help coordinate trials and discuss feedback so you can make an informed decision. We support the final appointment and remain available after placement as your childcare professional settles into family life.

What is the difference between a nanny, governess and private tutor?

A nanny focuses on day-to-day care, routines and development. A governess or governor usually has a stronger educational remit, including learning, school liaison, languages and cultural development. A private tutor provides targeted academic support. Many family roles combine elements of these responsibilities, so we define the balance before beginning the search.

Share your family structure, schedule, travel needs and educational priorities, and we will help shape the search.
