Real Nannies. Not Random App Sitters.
Babysitting from professional nannies
We help families find babysitters, but we call it NannySitting, by linking you up with childcare professionals looking for ad hoc roles.
NannySitting is also helpful for finding emergency nannies, holiday and hotel nannies (for families travelling in the UK) and temporary nannies.
Start a NannySitting search and make local matches in minutes.
Babysitting from nannies = NannySitting
NannySitting is where our nannies make themselves available for ad hoc childcare or babysitting. They may be between nannying roles or just happy to pick up some extra, flexible hours.
If you already have an Army of Nannies account, activate NannySitting from your Dashboard and create a search request.
Connecting families to local NannySitters™
Create your bespoke NannySitter™ search
Like our nanny-finding services, families create a NannySitting search request. It takes about two minutes.
Nannies with profiles need to flick a switch on their dashboard to show they are available for NannySitting opportunities.
Shortlist the profiles of interest
We then instantly show the best local childcare matches. Families and NannySitters™ then invite connections.
Once an invite is accepted – and if the family has a member status – both parties can contact each other directly.
Appoint your favourite NannySitters™
When connected, conduct interviews and then book the NannySitter™ directly.
Over time, you’ll create a network of local childcarers you can call on directly. And if they’re not free, start a new search to top up your local network.
What does it cost to search?
It’s free for nannies and families to search on the site.
Families only have to make a payment when they want to secure the contact details of a jointly approved NannySitter™. Prices start from as little as £6.
Once you have the contact details of a NannySitter™, they are yours for keeps.
How do I pay my babysitter / NannySitter™?
Directly. When you book, you and your NannySitter™ agree on the time, the rate and how payment will be made. Army of Nannies never takes a cut of a nanny’s pay. What you agree is what they get.
At this point, you should also agree on how the direct payment is to be made.
Our recommended safe-payment partner is HibiUp
Many NannySitters™ choose to use HibiUp, our recommended payment partner for NannySitting, and we think it’s a great option.
Before the sit, the nanny invites you to confirm the date, hours and total. Once the sit is done, you get one pay link to approve in your banking app, and the money reaches the nanny within seconds.
HibiUp is FCA-regulated, accounts are ID-verified, and you don’t need card details. Families pay a small 0.4% fee, so the nanny still receives the full agreed rate.
Nannies: You can always find a link to HibiUp in the Connections Made folder of your AoN NannySitting dashboard. It’s free to set up.
Your search is important to us
We’re very proud of our 5-star Google reviews. And here’s a testimonial from Family Charley:
‘I started my search and quickly secured a number of local connections to call on when needed. It’s quick, easy to use, and you get a lot of profiles to choose from. Thank you, Army of Nannies 😀’

Hotel nanny / Holiday nanny / Travel nanny
Travelling to the UK?
If you’re travelling to the UK, our NannySitting™ service (babysitting from professional nannies) will help you find local, professional nannies willing to take on temporary nanny jobs.
It can be as simple as an evening babysitting or extended holiday nanny support throughout your stay in the UK.
You need only a postcode from the area where you hope to stay, and we can then find you local connections to professional nannies willing to take on ad hoc / temporary nanny roles.
Emergency nanny / Temporary nanny cover
If you need emergency childcare cover, our NannySitter™ service (babysitting from professional nannies) will quickly help you find local, professional child carers between roles or looking for extra hours.
If you boost your search, we can quickly broadcast it across our social channels to help you connect with local nannies open to temporary nanny roles and emergency childcare opportunities.
Safety first
Our platform introduces you to nannies on our site. You can view and approve their full nanny profiles. Most of our nannies are looking for full & part-time positions, so they share a wealth of information.
Before making a babysitting / NannySitting appointment, we strongly recommend you check and view all documentation.
To support that, we have created a checklist we ask you to follow to ensure the highest level of safeguarding.
