A nanny is typically a professional caregiver, most often female, who provides dedicated childcare either as a daily (live-out) nanny or as a live-in (residential) nanny. All our nannies have a minimum of five years' childcare experience, with many holding relevant qualifications, and are well-versed in caring for children of all ages, including newborns. Depending on the family’s needs, nannies may take sole charge (when parents are working away) or work in a shared charge arrangement alongside a parent or another nanny.
Nannies can also be available for occasional evening babysitting, which is considered additional to their standard duties and must be arranged in advance with separate compensation.
Please note: nannies are directly employed by the client, and as such, UK law requires that the employer (the family) is responsible for the nanny’s tax and National Insurance contributions. This is a standard legal obligation and ensures the arrangement is fully compliant and professionally managed.
