General Information

A Nanny is someone with sufficient qualifications, or who has a few years experience or a mix of both. A Nanny can look after children of all ages and should provide plenty of fun and learning opportunities in a safe environment. Opting for a Nanny as a solution to childcare, compared to other possibilities, provides a greater level of flexibility, whereby care can be extended to look after children who have been taken ill, or to accompany the family on holiday, and moreover can provide a closer relationship, resulting in a more comprehensive provision of care.

 Working hours and pay

London salaries for Nannies are:

Live-in  £450-550 net pw, with a minimum of £400 if qualified.

Live-out £550-700 net pw, with a minimum of £500 if qualified.

For overseas nannies, salaries are in the order of £500-1000 with flights and medical insurance paid on top.

 With respect to hours, these depend on the position, but by and large they tend to be 8am to 6/6:30pm. Residential nannies tend to start slightly earlier and finish a bit later with a break during the day. Also, for a residential Nanny, it would be expected that the contract would include 1 or 2 baby sittings per week. For daily nannies, this would generally incur an additional fee.

 Qualifications

 Although there are no specific qualifications for nannies, you should expect a Nanny to hold recognised childcare qualifications such as


 

               CACHE Diploma in Childcare and Education (previously known as NNEB)

               NVQ or SVQ Level 3 in Early Years Care and Education

               BTEC National Certificate or Diploma in Early Years

               BTEC Certificate in Children's Care and Education

               BTEC Higher National Certificate or Diploma in Early Childhood Studies

               NORLAND Diploma

               A First Aid Training qualification

  Our Nannies

At Happy Home, we believe that a Nanny can have a huge impact in a child's life. Children often look up to adults as examples of how to behave in our social world. Therefore, we are extremely selective with our nannies. We believe that a Nanny must be well spoken, well mannered, have good social skills, good common sense, must be fit and healthy, have good eating habits, good hygiene and even good posture. Most of all, we believe that being a Nanny is a vocation or career, and as such we look for passion around childcare in all our candidates..
