Nanny Jobs in Kent

With extensive coastline, a countryside full of cycle paths and wonderful walkways, plenty of towns including Ashford, Chatham, Dartford, Dover, Folkestone, Gillingham, Gravesend, Maidstone, Margate, Ramsgate, Sevenoaks and Royal Tunbridge Wells plus two cities, Canterbury and Rochester, Kent nanny jobs offer great diversity of location. Virginia Woolf thought Canterbury was prettier than Venice and it is indeed a lovely city to discover with a pedestrian centre making it the perfect urban space to enjoy shops, cafes and restaurants and to trundle round with children.  Nannies and their charges can enjoy interesting day trips to the many nature and wildlife centres dotted around Kent or even the simplest treat of having an ice-cream by the seaside.

Wealden Nannies 

For 20 years, Wealden Nannies have proudly provided a valuable and personal service to parents finding suitable childcare, endeavouring to assist in all manner of situations:

We provide full-time, part-time, temporary, permanent or live-in nannies, maternity nurses, night nannies, mother's helps, doulas and babysitters.

The majority of our business is drawn from the South East. We offer in depth knowledge of Kent and East Sussex. Our nannies are recruited from within these counties and the surrounding areas. Our reputation and recommendations have resulted in inquiries from London, Wiltshire, Geneva, Greece and Germany.

Wealden Nannies aims to build a long standing association with both their clients and nannies. We identify our clients' individual requirements and the staff who would best meet these needs.

To register, nannies are required to attend an interview during which we assess their personalities, evaluate their capabilities and the type of work they would be best suited for. Over time, we assess their growth in confidence and experience, their additional training and take into account changes in personal circumstances.

Nannies are put forward for interview only if they are genuinely interested in a position and are compatible with the client's requirements. We do not believe in wasting either party's valuable time.

We invest in the initial stages of a placement supporting the parents and nannies during the settling period, mediating should problems arise and, if appropriate, and suggesting solutions.

These steps result in parents and staff having strong, long-term working relationships, which will provide a happy and secure environment for children.
