Complimentary guide

A quiet companion for
the day of the trial.

A trial day is one of the most telling moments in any household appointment. Our Trial Day Observation Guide helps principal households prepare thoughtfully, observe carefully and reflect meaningfully — without turning the day into an interview.

  • Before the day

    Prepare with clarity

    A gentle framework to shape the day around real household moments — arrivals, mealtimes, transitions, unstructured play. Prompts to align between principals and any household manager involved.

  • On the day

    Observe with intention

    A private guide to what to notice, without turning the day into a performance. Areas include presence, warmth, initiative, communication, discretion and the quiet ways a household begins to relax around the right person.

  • Afterwards

    Reflect together

    A structured way to gather everyone's observations, distinguish strong indicators from areas requiring further exploration, and identify the questions that remain before any offer is made.

The guide is an advisory document. It does not replace reference checks, credential verification or professional placement — all of which we’re pleased to provide directly.
