What to decide before hiring a nanny

Part or full-time nanny?, Live in or out?, temporary or permanent? travel nanny? driving licence? shared care or sole charge?

• Live-in or live-out nanny?  If live-in, what accommodation can you offer your nanny?

• Weekly budget for the nanny’s salary?

• What are your nanny’s days and hours of work?

• Do you need your nanny to babysit one or two nights per week?

  (If that is the case babysitting is on working days unless by separate agreed arrangement). The two nights babysitting tend to be included in the salary for live in nannies and are paid as extra for live out nannies.

• Do you need a nanny who drives?

• Will you need your nanny to travel abroad with your family?

• Is this a shared care or sole charge position?

Once you have determined your nanny requirements, please take a few moments to register with our agency via our simple online form.  At the London Nanny Agency, your children’s safety and security is our priority so we pay for our nannies to complete a paediatric first aid course if they have one that is over three years old and our agency also pays to process their Enhanced DBS Disclosure if it is over a year old and they are not on the update service. We are always happy to talk to parents about any queries they may have via phone or email.
