A live-in Nanny in Hertfordshire
A Live-in Nanny lives with the family in their home and the family provides the nanny with their own bedroom and sometimes their own bathroom.
A Live-in nanny in Hertfordshire will usually work for between 10 and 12 hours a day.
Many families will ask the live in nanny to babysit, and this is usually included in the contracted salary.
Salaries for good, live-in nannies in the Hertfordshire area are between £550 and £650 net per week.
Daily Nannies in Hertfordshire
Daily nannies will usually be expected to work between 3 and 12 hours per day, depending on the nature of the role.
Nannies in Hertfordshire always drive and some will be happy to use their own cars for work purposes (mileage allowance given)
As a responsible nanny agency, we always check references to ensure that the nannies are reliable and punctual.
The salary for a daily nanny in Hertfordshire is between £16 and £18 gross per hour.
Housekeeper in Hertfordshire
As well as placing excellent nannies, we also have a network of experienced live in and live out housekeepers in Hertfordshire.
These candidates can be either daily or live in and all will undergo referencing and DBS checks.
The duties of a housekeeper do vary, but generally we would expect them to do general housekeeping, cooking and some will also work as nanny/housekeepers.
The best nanny agency in Hertfordshire
A nanny will have a childcare qualification or have lots of experience. Nannies have chosen childcare as a career and should offer you high quality, professional childcare. A nanny will be capable of sole charge and will be either live-in or live out. A nanny will be involved in every aspect of your child's care, from organising leisure activities, cooking healthy meals to keeping toys clean and tidy. Hours for each job do vary widely, though a daily (live-out) nanny will usually expect to work around a 10 hour day and a live in nanny perhaps a little longer.
Mother's Help
One way of describing a mother's help is perhaps to say that she would be a 'nanny-in-training'. A mother's help will carry out the duties of a nanny and will be willing to undertake light housework and shopping. She is basically there to assist the parents but would not be expected to be left in sole charge of the children for long periods of time. A mother's help can either live in or out and the hours of work are roughly those of a nanny's.
Babysitter
A babysitter is usually a nanny or nursery nurse that will look after your children in the evening whilst you go out. All are DBS checked and are interviewed and reference checked. Our thorough recruitment process applies to every potential candidate, whether they are looking for a full time job or to join our babysitting register. We would encourage you to use 2 or 3 regular babysitters to keep the continuity for your children. Babysitters are paid in cash at the end of the evening and dates and hours are agreed in advance. Please ask about joining our babysitting club.
