Full-Time Nannies
Find a full-time nanny
A full-time nanny looks after your children in your own home, usually across most of the working week. It gives children one steady person and gives you care that fits your hours rather than a nursery timetable.
Takes about 2 minutes. No obligation.

Who a full-time nanny suits
- Parents who both work full time or work long or irregular hours
- Families with more than one child, where a nanny can be better value than several nursery places
- Children who are happier with routine at home
What the role usually involves
- Planning the day around your children’s ages: play, outings, naps and meals
- Nursery or school drop-offs and pick-ups where needed
- Children’s laundry, tidying and cooking for the children, if you agree this
Worth knowing
Families who take on a nanny directly are usually the employer, which normally means running payroll and a workplace pension. Many families use a nanny payroll service.
Agree hours, duties and holiday in writing from the start. It avoids misunderstandings later.

FAQ
Full-Time Nannies: common questions
Anything else you would like to know? Ask us when we get in touch, or contact us.
How many hours is full-time?
There is no fixed rule. Most full-time nanny roles cover four or five days a week and roughly 40 to 55 hours. Tell us the pattern you need and we’ll work from that.
Can a full-time nanny also help around the house?
Many full-time nannies take on nursery duties such as children’s laundry and meals. General housekeeping is a different role, so it’s worth being clear about expectations in your enquiry.
Do you cover my area?
We work with families across Great Britain. Enter your postcode in the form and we’ll let you know whether we can help in your area.
What happens after I enquire?
A member of our team reviews what you’ve told us and contacts you using the details you gave, to discuss your needs and answer your questions. If we can help, we explain the next steps.
Does making an enquiry commit me to anything?
No. Making an enquiry doesn’t commit you to anything, and you’re under no obligation to go ahead or to hire anyone.
