Part time Nannies

We've got you covered

Thinking about welcoming a Part time Nanny into your home?

What is the role of a part time Nanny ?

If you’ve decided that having regular, professional support is the right fit for your family, hiring a part-time nanny can offer a flexible and dependable childcare solution. Whether you’re based in London, elsewhere in the UK, or abroad, a skilled nanny can provide tailored care that fits around your unique routine — giving you peace of mind and more balance in your day-to-day life.

 

Part-time nannies bring warmth, structure, and practical help into your home. Whether you need coverage for school runs, help with after-school activities, or a few mornings each week, this type of support allows your child to build a consistent bond with a trusted caregiver — while you enjoy greater flexibility.

 

Personalised Support for Your Family’s Routine

 

Unlike casual babysitters or ad hoc childcare, a part-time nanny becomes a familiar and reassuring presence in your child’s life. Working a set number of days or hours each week, they can provide stability and care in a way that complements your schedule — ideal for working parents, parents with younger babies at home, or families who simply need a bit of extra help.

 

Part-time nannies are especially valuable for households that prefer a more personalised and low-key approach to childcare — offering care that aligns with your parenting style and household values.

 

Typical Responsibilities of a Part-Time Nanny

 

Every family is different, but a part-time nanny’s role might include:

  • School or nursery drop-offs and pick-ups

  • Preparing meals or snacks for the children

  • Planning and supervising age-appropriate activities

  • Helping with homework or reading

  • Bath time, dressing, and light evening routines

  • Light tidying related to the children

 

While their main focus is the children, some part-time nannies may also assist with light household tasks — such as organising toys or preparing school bags — though any additional responsibilities should be agreed in advance.

 

Flexible Care That Grows With You

 

The right part-time nanny helps life run more smoothly — offering care, consistency, and the freedom to focus on work, family, or your own time. Whether you need help a few days a week or just during term-time, a well-matched nanny will adapt to your needs and evolve with your family over time.
