By 1987 I had bought a Croydon shop to base my office there until in 2005 I transferred to Beckenham High Street.
Hello, my name is Debbie,
After a wonderful 8-year Nanny career in London (Chelsea, and Hampstead), Europe, and Canada I run this caring and bespoke Daily Nanny Recruitment and Employment Agency.​ 39 years on I am the UK's longest-reigning Nanny Agency owner and have interviewed over 1000 Childcarers and spoken to thousands of their Employers.
Based in Bromley we give Parents more Peace of Mind about who they choose because we:
-
Only introduce Childcare-Qualified and Childcare-work-experienced Childcarers.
-
Speak to, Face-to-face interview and Reference check Childcarers, unlike only online websites.
-
Give correct Nanny duty advice so Childcare- Qualified people don`t feel humiliated by an Employer asking them to clean their whole house, cook Parent meals, or iron Parent clothes to avoid a Nanny soon after starting giving notice.
-
To save all parties time check a Childcarer will charge a Parent a fair Gross per hour rate as particulalry Non - Experienced Nannies who will be learning the Nanny role are overcharging Parents -so we often annually save our Employers £ ... thousands which then covers the extra Employer costs. We believe fairest that Nannies with years of Nanny experience earn the highest rates.
An Experienced Nanny: earns £16 - £20 per hour gross - if works 6 - 12 hours per day.
Non-Experienced Nanny: £14 - £16 phg (Day Nursery staff earn £12 - 14 phg average.
Less than 5 hours of work per day or After School hours (we only accept up to a 2-day week and no morning run contracts) the rate is higher at £20 - £25 phg (average £23 phg rate paid) because few Nannies will do as need a full days income or miss all-day caring for young Children.
Finding the right Daily 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.
-
A Nanny job is closely entwined with family life which is easily disrupted if you choose the wrong Childcarer.
For a permanent Nanny register with us 8 - 12 weeks before the ideal start date as most have 4 weeks' Employer notice to give AND we need 4 weeks to display an advert and gauge Childcarer's response, usually within that 4 weeks Family Interviews are in place. For these reasons, we don't accept immediate starts as unrealistic and stressful for us to achieve.
Most Nannies seek work:
-
For a minimum one-year contract.
-
With a Baby or under-school-age Child.
-
For 4 - 5 days work Monday to Friday.
-
38 - 50 hours per week.
-
8 - 10 hours work per day.
-
Between 7.30 am to 6.30 pm.
-
That is 2 or 3 set days for two families.​

-
Parents pay more to employ a Nanny to give in their home one-to-one care to their Child because they do not want given group Day Nursery or Registered Childminder care plus want to choose and agree allowing for Nanny outing suggestions where a Nanny takes their Child. ​
-
If a Nanny cares for more than one Child this can be a convenient and cost-effective choice as an older sibling (s) get taken to School, collected, and cared for in school holidays, and if sick plus Nannies expect to do Child-related housekeeping duties only that includes the Children`s ironing and as the need arises clean and vacuum the Childs (ren) bedroom (s) and play areas.
-
Having spoken to thousands of Parents we know most cannot budget for a 4 - 5 day week so aim for a 2 or 3 day week Nanny which many are happy to do. Most cannot budget for a 8 - 10-hour day Nanny above £16 per hour Gross - average maximum rate paid is £17 per hour Gross.
-
Many Parents now work from home. Non - experienced Nannies that have worked in a Nursery or school are used to seeing other adults.

-
Varied other Childcare-connected experiences.
Childcarers don`t enjoy or feel safe finding work online either
-
Understandably Parents want to avoid paying a genuine Nanny Agency like us £hundreds or £thousands in fees BUT neither is it wise in the interest of Child and home key protection to risk using free or seemingly cheap online websites like Facebook or childcare.co.uk (£360 pa cost that is more than LMM charge) or Bubble or community social media forums which are just a 21st Century Sweet Shop Noticeboard.
-
Because all these businesses do NOT speak to, interview, or reference check the people they advertise as unchecked are more likely to be dishonest people with varied motives and easily created fake CVs of past and current Childcare work to ask for the highest rates.
-
Sadly via using all these online-only businesses Parents have told us of serious and minor issues affecting their Children`s safety, health and happiness and Childcarer contracts negotiated incorrectly.
