Daily Nanny Service 2024
By 1987 I had bought a Croydon shop to base my office there until in 2005 I transferred to Beckenham High Street.
Welcome Parents and Nannies,
Hello, my name is Debbie, I am a Nursery Nurse (NNEB) and before in 1985 gaining a government license to run this Childcarer Recruitment and Employment Agency I had a wonderful 8-year Nanny career in London Chelsea, Kensington, and Hampstead, Europe, Istanbul, and Canada. Today based in South London (Bromley) I have interviewed over 700 Nannies and the UK's longest-reigning Nanny Agency owner.
Employing a Nanny can be a convenient and cost-effective choice if you have more than one Child as an older sibling (s) get taken to School, collected, cared for in school holidays and if sick.
We offer Childcare-qualified and/or work-experienced Nannies a FREE service.
Please register your job vacancy with us at least 8 - 12 weeks before the start date because:
Finding the right Nanny cannot be rushed:
-
As this is one of the biggest decisions a Parent can make to pass across to a stranger their vulnerable Baby, Child (ren), and house key.
-
Most Childcarers are in Employment and have 4 weeks' notice to give. We don't accept immediate starts as in our office that is unrealistic and stressful for us to achieve, it is a bonus if a Childcarer can start sooner.
-
To help we need 4 weeks to display an anonymous Job Vacancy Advert on LMM Facebook, usually, we contact a Parent at least three times a week either by voice phone call or email to update on the advert response, and within 2 weeks interviews in place and within 4 - 6 weeks a job offer is made.
Most Nannies:
-
Choose Childcare as their 1st choice career.
-
Work Monday to Friday between 7. 30 am - 6.30 pm.
-
Need 8 - 10 continuous hours a day to achieve an income of a 40 - 50 hour week.
-
Will work a 2 or 3 set day on different days for two families (shared PAYE Tax Allowance).
-
With rent or a mortgage need a minimum one-year contract for income stability.
-
A Nanny can earn from £14 to £20 per hour Gross if working 8 - 12 hours daily.
We offer Parents more peace of mind:
-
On who they choose because we Face to Face Interview and Reference Check all our Childcarers - unlike online-only website services that are just a 21st Century sweet shop advert noticeboard so dishonest and devious people can create a fake Nanny job CV.
-
Because we also understand Parents are put off using a Nanny Agency when quoted £-hundreds or £thousands in placement fees BUT it is not wise either to use a online or free Facebook website such as childcare.co.uk that charge Parents (and Childcarers) £30 pmth - £360 year because such businesses do not like us put Child protection first. Read these serious and minor issues Parents and Childcarers told us they experienced using.
-
Because we speak to every Parent and Childcarer and give correct advice on the duties both can expect that are only to be Child-related housekeeping duties, e.g., Children's meals and their ironing, daily play areas and Childrens bedroom tidy and vacuum as needed.
-
Because using 39 years of Nanny industry experience we give correct and realistic Gross (and Net) salary advice and we check each Childcarer Gross per hour rate expectation is fair and based on the years they have worked as a Nanny. Online unvetted and advertising themselves either deliberately or naievely we see people over charging Parents often by thousands per year.
What is a fair Gross rate to pay a Nanny:
Experienced Nannies earn From £15 - £20 per hour Gross or approx £10 - £14 per hour Net with the highest rates paid to those with decades of Nanny experience. All Parents struggle to balance work and the high cost of a Day Nursery or Nanny so few can budget due to other Employer costs on top above £17 per hour Gross. Google the rate a Nurse, Policeman or teacher earn per hour Gross often lower than a Nanny.
Non Experienced Nannies are paid a lower rate from £14 - £15 per hour Gross or approx £9 - £10 per hour Net as they will be learning the role. If only Day Nursery (average pay £12 - £14 phg) worked they will be used to other adults around so ideal if a Parent works from home.
If you seek a Nanny for less than 6 hours work per day or Split Before and/or After School hours (We only accept up to 2 days per week as few Nannies will do 3, 4 or 5 days) these Nannies earn £18 - £25 per hour gross because they miss the daytime company of younger Children and dislike split hours. Note - Childcare- Qualified Nannies are offended and humiliated if asked to clean their Employer`s whole house, cook Parent meals, or iron Parent clothes and soon give notice.
We help Parents not to overpay a Childcarer:
-
These savings can cover extra Employer Costs involved as under UK law HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) will advise a Nanny whether employed part or full-time temporary or permanent or with a 2nd Employer cannot be self-employed as they do not have hundreds of customers so deemed the Employee of a Childs Parent who is deemed as their Employer who must check and where required register them on a PAYE Tax and National Insurance (NI) deduction scheme.
-
A Nanny 2024/25 can earn £12,570 per year before they are (Pay As You Earn) PAYE Taxed.
-
Remember it is the Nanny NOT you the Employer that owes this money to HMRC. Honest Nannies will insist on having all their Gross earnings declared. Note - it is the Employer`s responsibility to do the admin for. The final Net rate is dependent on the Nannies PAYE Tax code and the number of hours per week they work,
-
The easiest way to do this is for the Employer to pay a monthly fee to a Nanny Tax Company to calculate the Gross to Net (take home) figures and advise the Employer of the Gross payment amount due to HMRC.
Our Parent Fee:

-

-

This Parent can accept or decline a face to face interview with that Childcarer. If they accept once we receive the final £25 fee for their introduction we email their CV Report to contact directly.
