LuxeNest Nannies
Refund & Replacement Policy
At LuxeNest Nannies, we strive to provide families with exceptional childcare professionals who meet their needs. While we aim for successful long-term placements, we understand that circumstances can change.
1. Non-Refundable Fees
-
All placement fees are non-refundable once a candidate has accepted an offer of employment with a client, regardless of whether the employment has commenced.
2. Free Replacement Guarantee
-
If a permanent candidate (nanny, governess, maternity nanny, tutor, or housekeeper) leaves employment within the first 8 weeks of their start date, LuxeNest Nannies will provide a one-time free replacement search.
-
Clients must notify LuxeNest in writing within 5 days of the candidate’s departure.
-
The replacement candidate may not be identical, but will match the family’s profile and requirements as closely as possible.
The replacement guarantee does not apply if:
-
The client has not paid the placement fee in full and on time.
-
The role, salary, duties, or working conditions have materially changed from the original agreement.
-
The candidate resigns due to mistreatment, unsafe conditions, or breach of employment contract.
-
The candidate was paid “off the books” (i.e. without tax compliance).
3. Temporary Placements
-
For temporary or trial placements, fees are non-refundable and no replacement is offered.
4. Client Cancellations
-
If a client withdraws an offer before a candidate has accepted, no fee is due.
-
If a client withdraws an offer after a candidate has accepted but before the start date, the full placement fee remains payable.
5. LuxeNest’s Commitment
We commit to:
-
Carefully screening and reference-checking all candidates.
-
Providing transparent communication and support throughout the placement process.
-
Acting promptly to begin a replacement search if required under this policy.
