Hello and welcome , my name is Debbie.

1985, I was government licensed to run this Agency based in Bromley in South London after a wonderful 8-year career as a Nanny.

I have interviewed over 700 Childcare Qualified and/or experienced Childcarers and placed with thousands of families.

We offer both in meeting more Peace Of Mind.

We give correct Gross rates and help Employers not to be overcharged by non - experienced Nannies and advise on the Childcare related Nanny duties a Parent can expect so a great Nanny is happy to stay with a family for all the agreed contract length.

Most Parents find the right Nanny within interviewing 2 - 5 of our Childcarers so pay a maximum final £80 - £100 fee.

Choosing the right Childcarer to care for your precious Baby or Child (ren) cannot be rushed as this is one of the biggest decisions a Parent can make because they work in your family home and you will be passing across house keys.

Computer online Services, Facebook, and social media platforms - are impersonal, time-consuming, and unsafe as explained below because dishonest people can claim to be a good and reliable Childcarer by easily paying as Parents do all year a £30 per month fee or for free to advertise themselves so deceit and misunderstandings easily occur through.

VERSUS Little Masters and Misses - who unlike all above:

Are a genuine and traditional 38-year established Nanny and Babysitter Employment and Recruitment Agency?
We speak to our customers and in the interest of Child protection interview face-to-face and reference check Childcarers, we introduce.

We still offer below a display of Childcarers advertised anonymously (no name) but with a less overwhelming display that Parents can view for free but saving everyone time and stress a Parent telephones us to be told more about a Childcarer interested in:

1 - 2 - 3 Day Week Nannies Available

4 and 5 Day Week Nannies Available

Evening Babysitters from 6pm

After School Nannies Available

We help Childcarers find work for FREE and contact them the beginning of each month to check if still seeking work.

£50 Parent 6 month registration fee:

During you can seek a new 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 or 5-day week permanent or temporary Nanny or Evening Babysitter as many times (for free) as need.
For us, it is about displaying daily a new Job Vacancy (s) Advert anonymously (no name or contact) for Childcarers to see on our Facebook - send a friend request to Debbie Masters Misses and in varied local to your community social media forums.

Childcarers telephone to speak to us to apply to your job vacancy:

And we contact Childcarers currently on our books to check their interest.

£10 final and one-off placement fee:

We telephone a Parent about a potentially suitable Childcarer interested in their job vacancy and forwarn of the Gross per hour rate aim for.

If a Parent wants to 1st Telephone Interview that Childcarer they pay just the £10 fee with further fee payable even if they are offered the job.

We email a CV Report with an outline of their varied Childcare experiences with that Childcarers telephone number to directly contact and against each employment we state which references we checked.

It is hoped that conversation leads to a Family Face to Face Interview ideally within the next 3 days, if so the Parent (not us) gives the Childcarer their home address.

Once emailed we are no longer involved and all discussions and interview times are agreed between a Parent and Childcarer.

Debbie Top Tips:

In each CV Report, we advise a fair Gross per hour rate to pay a Childcarer based on we believe the higher rates be paid to the many years experienced Nanny who has proven to work well as Nanny providing great references.
Ultimately Parents decide the rate they will Gross pay, Childcarers please do not discuss just a Net rate.
Most Parents ask us for an experienced Nanny but struggle to budget up to £15 per hour Gross due to other additional Employer costs. Childcarers be realistic - is it fair to ask for a rate higher than £16 per hour gross when many Nurses, Trainee Drs, Elderly Carers, and Teachers with a 5-year degree training earn less, on evenings and weekends and have far more work responsibility?
Ofsted was not created for Nannies to charge Parents higher gross per-hour rates but to help working Parents who struggle to pay for a higher cost Nanny, Nursery, or Registered Childminder.

After each face-to-face interview stage Top Tips:

A huge proportion of a Parent`s decision to consider a Childcarer as their Nanny or Babysitter rests in the first minutes of speaking so both parties need to speak clearly.
After each face-to-face interview stage ideally the next day (or within 3 days) a Parent will need to let a Childcarer know if they are progressing them a Job Offer or another face-to-face interview. In either scenario, it is essential to voice telephone them of this news to hear if they are pleased.
When not progressing after a 1st face to face interview a Childcarer further it is noticeable due to mobile text and email technology that Parents are choosing to tell a Childcarer often without a reason why this news and vice versa Childcarers if not wanting to progress to the next interview stage or wanting to accept a job offer are doing the same. Working and employing a Childcarer in a family home is so personal but then both parties need to end their text with a thank you for their time and then concentrate on meeting other Childcarers and other interview opportunities.

Childcarers:

It is unwise and unprofessional not to turn up for an interview or an agreed work day as on Facebook and Parent WhatsApp groups Parents do warn other Parents of unreliable and unpunctual people. Most Parents appreciate a voice telephone call and be flexible to rearrange and understand if believe an unavoidable circumstance.
Be able to demonstrate initiative and set Child (ren) a reasonable example in your own personal grooming, hygiene, and spoken English.

"I have a personal aim so offer a no-catch low fee" because of:

Parents to often are telling us of their Online Service bad experiences using:

Including Children hurt and badly cared for by employing a non - experienced Nanny.
Strangers with no Nanny experience prefer to meet online as it is easier for them to ask for the higher rates which add thousands to a Nanny Employer's annual salary.

No wonder Parents when they do their research are put off using a great traditional and caring business like us when many other established Nanny Agencies or a newly set up during the pandemic businesses charging Parents thousands when placing a permanent Nanny yet many Nannies tell us they were only Zoom interviewed.

Childcarers to are telling us of their online bad experiences as have told us:

Have arrived for an interview to be told no Children were involved and offered unsavory work.
Are stressed and upset that with their Childcare Qualifications and/or Experience are not being treated as a Nanny but as a whole house cleaner Mothers help so are offended to be asked to do, Parent meals, and ironing. We support Childcarers before accepting not to agree to do.

Great genuine, honest, and professional permanent increasingly are changing jobs more often upset by the above or when notice a Parent is not paying their PAYE Tax which is a legal requirement. Before I retire in 2025 I am looking forward to seeing my new low-cost service thrive to pass on which is a service designed to compete with online websites.
