A Personal Full-Time Nanny Search

Every family is different. Some parents need sole-charge care for a baby while returning to work, while others require support with several children, school runs, activities, meals and the organisation of everyday family life.

Before starting the search, we take the time to understand:

• Your children’s ages, routines and personalities

• Your required days and working hours

• Childcare and household responsibilities

• Your parenting approach and family values

• The experience and personality you are looking for

• Any language, driving or travel requirements

Rather than sending large numbers of CVs, we focus on introducing candidates whose experience, availability and personality genuinely suit your family.

Full-Time Nanny Services

We recruit for a range of permanent and temporary positions, including:

• Full-time live-out nannies

• Full-time live-in nannies

• Nanny-housekeepers

• Family assistants

• Spanish-speaking and bilingual nannies

• Nannies for babies and toddlers

• Nannies for school-aged children

Full-time nanny positions commonly involve approximately 40 to 60 hours per week, although every role is tailored to the family’s individual needs.

Live-Out Full-Time Nannies

A live-out nanny travels to the family’s home each working day and usually works a regular weekly schedule.

Responsibilities may include sole-charge childcare, planning age-appropriate activities, preparing children’s meals, managing children’s laundry, keeping bedrooms and play areas organised, arranging playdates and completing nursery or school runs.

Live-In Full-Time Nannies

A live-in nanny lives in accommodation provided by the family. This arrangement can offer additional flexibility and may suit families with long working days, early starts, several children or regular travel requirements.

Live-in nannies should have suitable private accommodation, clearly defined working hours and appropriate time off.

Nanny-Housekeepers and Family Assistants

Families who need wider household support may benefit from employing a nanny-housekeeper or family assistant.

Depending on the position, duties may include:

• Childcare and school or nursery collections

• Family cooking and meal preparation

• Laundry and ironing

• Grocery shopping and household errands

• Keeping bedrooms and shared areas organised

• Managing children’s activities and appointments

• Light family administration

The balance between childcare and household responsibilities should always be clearly defined so that we can identify candidates who are genuinely experienced and comfortable with both aspects of the role.
