What does a Nanny actually do?
A Nanny is a family employee who looks after the child(ren)
during the family’s absence. Nannies provide
a high standard of childcare, including feeding, changing
nappies, collecting children from school/nursery,
help related to after-school activities, and general
care of the children’s welfare. Some Nannies
are also required to drive in order to carry out some
of their duties, such as dropping off/collecting children
from school or after-school activities. The family
is responsible for the petrol expenses.
What are the requirements for becoming a Nanny?
A Nanny is a Children’s Nurse specially trained
in child-care. Amongst the most recognised ‘Nanny’
qualifications are the NNEB, BTEC courses in caring,
City Guilds 365, NAMCW and NVQs. However, apart from
Nannies with formal qualifications, A1 KidsCare UK
also provide placements for Nannies without qualifications
but who have worked in the child sector for a number
of years and have great experience with children of
all ages.
How much does a Nanny generally get paid?
Nannies’ wages vary according to a number
of factors such as experience, qualifications, number
of forking hours, and area of work. To simplify the
selection criteria, we group our Nannies into three
different categories: Nannies, Starter Nannies, and
Mother’s Helps (please refer to table below).
Any overtime is compensated for by extra payments
or extra time-off.

testimonials
What
a wonderful service! I never thought that I would be able
to work full-time, be a mum to 3
children,
and still have enough time and energy to enjoy my hobbies
and go out with my husband and friends.
Mrs
Judith McGREGOR, Peterborough
Only
3 months after Elisabeth started looking after our children,
they have grown so attached to her that now they see her as
a member of family and just love spending time with her. She
is exactly what we wanted. Thank you so much for recommending
her to us.
Mrs
Pamela RICHARDS, London
