FAQ
A part-time nanny provides regular, professional childcare for fewer hours than a full-time role, while still offering consistency and continuity within the family home. Part-time nanny placements typically start from 20 hours per week and are structured around the family’s specific schedule, such as mornings, afternoons, after-school hours, or selected days each week. This arrangement suits families who need dependable childcare support without full-time coverage.

Part-time nannies work agreed, fixed hours that reflect the family’s routine and requirements. These may include school hours, early mornings, after-school periods, or a combination of days across the week. Hours are discussed in detail during the consultation and confirmed before placement, ensuring clarity and consistency for both the family and the nanny
Yes. After-school nanny roles are one of the most common types of part-time placements we support. An after-school nanny typically assists with school pick-ups, homework routines, meals, activities, and early evening care. This option is particularly popular with working parents who need reliable support at the end of the school day while maintaining structure and routine for their children.
A part-time nanny’s duties focus on childcare and child-related responsibilities. These may include caring for children during agreed hours, managing routines, preparing meals for the children, assisting with homework, organising activities, and maintaining tidy child-related spaces. Duties are clearly defined in advance and tailored to each household, ensuring the role remains balanced and appropriate to the agreed hours.
Yes. A part-time nanny can support children of all ages, from toddlers to school-aged children. Care is structured around the child’s developmental stage, routine, and needs, whether that involves daytime care, morning support, or after-school supervision. During the consultation, we help families determine whether part-time care is suitable based on the child’s age and the hours required.
All part-time nannies we recommend are personally known to us and carefully vetted through a thorough selection process. This includes interviews, detailed reference checks, DBS verification, confirmation of relevant experience, and right-to-work checks where applicable. This approach ensures families are introduced to reliable, professional candidates suited to part-time roles.
Searches can begin immediately, with no registration fees. Depending on the role requirements and availability, we aim to share carefully selected part-time nanny profiles as quickly as possible, often the same day. While speed is important, suitability and long-term fit always remain our priority.
