Privacy and information handling
State what information is sensitive, who may receive it, whether photographs or social media activity are restricted and which confidentiality terms will form part of the employment arrangement.
VIP and celebrity nanny services in London
Private childcare built around a complex household brief.
For high-profile, security-conscious or travel-intensive households, the nanny role still begins with the children. The brief must also define privacy, scheduling, travel and household protocols clearly.
01
Childcare remains the primary responsibility.
Privacy and household protocol shape how the role operates, not what the job title means.
Answer first
What changes in a high-profile household?
The core nanny responsibilities do not change: safe, attentive childcare and agreed child-related duties remain central. What changes is the operating context. A high-profile household may need tighter information controls, more complex diaries, travel, coordination with other staff and precise handovers.
These requirements should be written into the brief and discussed during interviews rather than assumed from the words “VIP” or “celebrity”.
Role scope
The role is still defined by the work that comes first.
Choose a nanny when childcare and the children’s routines are the clear priority. Add household or travel requirements only when they fit the available working time and are stated precisely.

Privacy boundary
Confidentiality is a working requirement, not a marketing promise.
Filipino Domestic Services treats information under its client terms and privacy obligations. The household should identify any additional confidentiality, media, device, visitor or information-handling rules it wants included in the candidate brief and employment documents.

Choose an arrangement that matches the real diary.
Hours, rest, accommodation and notice should be workable before flexibility is requested.
Build a stable core schedule.
State ordinary hours, regular evenings or weekends, notice for changes and how additional time will be agreed.
Define the assignment from start to finish.
Include dates, destination, transport, accommodation, working hours, rest periods, expenses and the expected childcare routine.
Separate accommodation from availability.
For live-in roles, describe private accommodation and time off. For live-out roles, include location, travel time and any multi-site routine.
Write the handover structure.
Where more than one person shares cover, explain rotations, handover records, responsibility changes and who makes day-to-day decisions.
From private brief to decision
How the introduction process works.
Filipino Domestic Services uses reasonable endeavours to introduce candidates it considers suitable for the work described. The household interviews, assesses suitability and decides whom to employ or engage.
-
01
Define the position
Describe the children, responsibilities, schedule, locations, travel, privacy requirements, reporting lines and working arrangement.
-
02
Review introductions
Consider each candidate against the written requirements rather than a broad request for someone “VIP experienced”.
-
03
Interview and complete checks
The household follows up references, qualifications and required checks and tests practical understanding of the household protocol.
-
04
Agree employment
The household decides whom to hire and remains responsible for the contract, pay, payroll, confidentiality terms and legal obligations.
Prepare the enquiry
Give candidates enough detail to assess the position properly.
A private brief can protect sensitive information while still explaining the work, schedule and operating requirements accurately.

- Core childcare and child-related duties

- Confidentiality and social media requirements
- Driving, language or qualification requirements

For a private or high-profile household, review the domestic-staff vetting process alongside the privacy, travel and security brief.
Questions about private and high-profile nanny roles.
Clear answers depend on the actual childcare brief, not the household’s public profile.
Is a VIP nanny a different childcare role?
Not necessarily. The position is still a nanny role when childcare is the primary responsibility. “VIP” describes the operating context, which may include greater privacy, travel, diary complexity and coordination with other household staff.
Can confidentiality requirements be included?
Yes. The household should state the practical requirements during the brief and include any material confidentiality, media or information-handling terms in the employment documents. Independent legal advice may be appropriate for bespoke clauses.
Can the nanny travel with the family?
Travel can be included when the brief states the destinations, frequency, duration, working hours, rest arrangements, accommodation and expenses. The household remains responsible for checking documents, permissions and legal requirements.
Can we request experience of staffed households or security protocols?
Yes, where that experience is genuinely required. Explain the household structure and protocol so candidates can describe relevant experience. The household should verify any qualifications, training or claims it relies on.
Who employs the nanny?
For a direct placement, the household employs or engages the chosen candidate and is responsible for the contract, pay, payroll, expenses and relevant employment obligations.
What checks should the household complete?
The current client terms place responsibility on the household to assess suitability, follow up references and relevant qualifications and complete the background, criminal-record or other checks required for the position.
Start with the childcare brief, then add the household protocol.
