Tips on looking for a nanny in London and across the UK
To find a nanny, keep it simple
- Boil your nanny search down to the things that matter: Every additional request cuts down the pool of nannies that will meet your requirements
- Priorities local: Like any role, a shorter commute likely means a happier work/life balance
- If it’s a part-time nanny search, be flexible: Nannies taking part-time roles will likely have to mesh more than role together, so if you can flex a little, it will help you find your perfect nanny
- Offer a pay rate that reflects the demands of your role: Aspects like high experience and schedule flexibility command a premium that your salary will need to reflect
Our blog shares a suite of resources to help and support your nanny search.
