Hello, my name is Debbie,

I started in 1985 this Daily Nanny Recruitment and Employment Agency, before I had a wonderful 8-year Nanny career in London (Chelsea, and Hampstead), Europe, and Canada.

I have 47 years of Nanny industry experience, have interviewed over 1000 Nannies and I am the UK's longest-reigning Nanny Agency owner.

A Nanny in the Employers home cares sole charge for their Baby and/or under-school-age Child.

Finding the right Nanny cannot be rushed as this is one of the biggest decisions a Parent can make to pass a precious Baby or Child (ren) and housekey across to a stranger. We give Parents more Peace of mind on who they choose.

We offer all our customers a Gold Service for a total average paid £150 fee for a 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 or 5 day week Daily Nanny we:

  • Voice speak to advise both with correct Nanny Duty and fair realistic Gross per hour salary rates.

  • Face-to-Face Interview and Reference check only Childcare-Qualified and/ or Childcare-work-experienced Childcarers. 

  • None of the above happens if you risk using a free or cheap online Childcarer website which are just a 21st Century Sweet Shop Noticeboard where dishonest people with varied motives that don`t want to be vetted can easily create fake CVs of past Childcare work to ask for the highest rates. Childcarers don`t enjoy or feel safe finding work online either. Sadly we have been told of serious and minor issues affecting the safety, health and happiness of Children and Childcarer`s and often save Employers £-thousands annually from being over charged by unvetted people online plus other Nanny agencies fee charge Parents in fees up to £6000.

Most Nannies seek work:
  • 4 - 5 days Monday to Friday

  • With a full 8 - 10 day hour income to achieve a 38 - 50 hour week.

  • Hours between 7.30 am to 6.30 pm, some will do a 7 am start and/or 7 pm finish latest.

  • For a minimum one-year contract.

  • 2 or 3 set but different days and will work for two families.​

A Experienced Nanny should earn the higher rates from £16 - £20 per hour gross.

​

A Non-Experienced Nanny earns less as learning the role so fair to pay £15 - £16 per hour gross which also a higher rate than Day Nursery staff on average at £12 - 14 phg earn.

Parents for a permanent Nanny registerAt least 8 weeks before the start month because:

  • Most Childcarers have 4 weeks' Employer notice to give.

  • To allow 4 weeks for LMM to display an advert and assess Childcarer response.

  • Usually within that 4 weeks Family Interviews are in place.

  • For above reasons immediate starts are unrealistic for us to achieve. 

Parents pay more to employ a Nanny as they:

​

  • Do not want their Child in a Day Nursery or Registered Childminder group care setting.

  • Want to choose and agree allowing for Nanny outing suggestions where a Nanny takes their Child. ​​​​​​​​​​

Employing a Nanny is cost effective:

​​

  • If you have more than one Child as older sibling (s) at school are taken to and from, cared for during school holidays and if off sick.​​

  • And a convenient choice with also extra Child related housekeeping duties as listed in our:​​​

Having spoken to thousands of Parents:

 

  • Most for a 4 - 5 day week or 8 - 10-hour day cannot budget above £17 per hour Gross due to extra added-on UK Employment Law costs.

  • For Parent (s) working from home Nannies have adapted if appropriately planned.

  • Most are happy to do a 2 - 3 day week so at a lower cost a Child can go to Nursery on the other days.

How our 2024 service works

  • Reference checks we did - Yes / No / Applied against each Childcare job.

  • Employing or Work as a Daily Nanny Advice which includes the Nanny duties and some houskeeping to expect (we do not place cleaners or  housekeepers) plus the extra Employer costs to expect which you can print off to refer to in an interview.

  • My 39 year business story and Nanny articles I have written for: 

A higher £20 - £25 per hour Gross rate is paid as few Nannies will do the below jobs due to traffic and miss all-day caring for young Children:

​

  • After School pick up hours. We only accept up to a 2-day week and no morning run contracts and register to help a max of three famiies and if placed accept another. Average pay is £23 phg (cleaner doing same hours earns the same rate).

  • Less than 5 hours of work per day - if you work from home if Nanny can finsih by 2.30 pm they can go on to pick up Children After School for another family to earn a full days salary. Most Nannies need a minimum of 8 hours work per day.
