Which type of nanny do you want?

Before you start the nanny search process, make sure you know what type of nanny you want and are able to clearly define the position you are offering.  By answering the following questions, you will have mapped out the nanny’s ideal role and disposition. 

 There are many things to consider: 

- Do you want a part-time or full-time nanny?

- Do you require a live-in or live-out nanny?

- Will the nanny be sharing the care with you, your partner, or another nanny (shared care) or will (s)he be caring for the children on his/her own (sole charge)?

- What is your weekly budget for the nanny’s salary (remember nanny salaries are quoted in weekly ‘net’ terms – not gross)?

- How many years experience would you ideally like your nanny to have?

- Do you want a qualified nanny?

- Do you require a nanny who drives?

- Do you want a nanny with an EU passport?  Or are you happy to have a nanny who holds a valid UK working holiday visa (grants the nanny permission to work one year of his/her two year visa)?

- Do you want a nanny whose first language is English?  Or would you like a bilingual nanny?

- Do you prefer an artistic nanny?  A sporty nanny?  A traditional, formal nanny? Or a governess who can focus on developing your children academically?

- Would you like your nanny to travel abroad with your family?

- Do you desire a social nanny – one who initiates and organises play dates with children of a similar age?

-  Do you require 1-2 nights of babysitting (an common expectation) per week? 

Remember, these questions are to help guide you in painting a clear picture for nanny agencies.  The clearer you are about what you want, the quicker they’ll be able to find you the right nanny.
