Nanny Screening
Trust starts with verification
Hiring a nanny is one of the most important decisions a family makes. You are entrusting someone with unsupervised access to your children and your home. For expat families in Amsterdam, verifying a candidate's background can be especially challenging — different countries, different systems, different standards. SAJ Recherche provides professional nanny screening tailored to the international Amsterdam community. We verify identity, references, qualifications and background so you can hire with confidence.
What we screen
Identity & document verification
We verify all identity documents, residence permits and work authorisations. We check authenticity and cross-reference with official databases. Forged or expired documents are detected before they become a risk.
Criminal background check
We conduct thorough background checks within the legal framework of Dutch privacy law. We verify whether a candidate has relevant criminal records, pending cases or involvement in incidents that could affect childcare safety.
Reference verification
We contact and verify all provided references — previous employers, families and childcare institutions. We confirm employment dates, responsibilities and reasons for leaving. Fabricated references are identified.
Qualification & training verification
We verify all claimed qualifications: childcare certificates, first aid training, driving licences and specialised skills. We contact issuing institutions directly to confirm validity.
Social media & online presence review
A discreet review of publicly available social media profiles and online presence. We identify any content that may raise concerns about judgement, behaviour or suitability for a childcare role.
Address & financial stability check
Verification of current and previous addresses. Where relevant, we assess financial stability to identify potential risks such as financial pressure that could affect reliability.
