TIPS FOR REGISTERING WITH OUR NANNY AGENCY IN LONDON

TIPS for the best profile/job spec/advert

We never expect you to compromise on what really matters but try and be as flexible as you can with your requirements. There are always a lot of candidates out there but also many families looking for help and the best candidates tend to have a few options to choose from. Outline what’s very important to you but please compromise where you can. Be realistic.  Work out what is most important for your family.

 

Au-pair families: The dates can make a big difference, if you can be flexible about start date and duration of stay, this will really increase your chances of finding the right au pair quickly!

 

Nanny families: Usually it’s hard for you to be flexible but say for example if you have a very tight schedule then maybe you can compromise on something else, pay a little extra or offer an added benefit.

Write as much as possible –  about your family, children, schedule, house, area, your pets, your hobbies and interests, likes/dislikes, your home, your town, your region, what sort of work/study you do, how much childcare experience you are looking for etc..

Describe your expectations of the role that the au pair/ nanny will play in your family and the accommodation if the role is live in.

Show advantages! Make sure you clearly state all the positive selling points of joining your family. This can include the distance to the nearest station, nanny networks/language school or the centre of town, use of the car in their spare time, learning to play tennis/ride a horse/sail a yacht, or simply the fact that there is a lot to do and there are many other au pairs in your area. Ask your friends and family, they may be able to contribute.

TIP: why not use Skype or a webcam for the interview if the nanny/ au pair isn’t in the UK, it makes it even more personal and is easy enough to set up. Your kids can probably help or participate too.

Finding Help with Childcare in London

Finding Help with Childcare in London Peekaboo Childcare © 2013 | Blackwell House |Guildhall Yard | London | EC2V 5AE |England|Phone: +44(0) 2031670926 | admin@peekaboochildcare.com Au pair Agency Peek-a-Boo Au pair Agency and Nanny Agency   Not every family will have the luxury of having one parent available to look after the children at all times. Many people say this is a sign that the majority of the country is now technically working-class – the fact that both parents will have to work to get the right income making us even more ‘working-class’ than the majority of families just one or two generations ago.   However, in reality, it is simply a case of the world moving on and such labels have no place being given in our current society. However, whatever these changes indicate, the results are the same. Getting children to school in the morning, or being on hand to look after the very youngest members of the family all day long, is not always easy or possible at all.   A nanny agency or au pair agency will often be the best places to start if you want the most flexibility with childcare. Many childcare facilities such as nurseries or crèches do not offer much scope at all, allowing just a few hours in the middle of the day to be utilised. Unfortunately, very few jobs will be willing to work around such a timetable, and utilising au pairs in London can make a big difference.   Finding an au pair or nanny in North London will be extremely straightforward and give you the most flexible childcare possible. For those that are worried that such an approach would be a more impersonal way to raise a child, the benefits far outweigh the negatives, allowing your children to have a very focussed learning experience. Au pairs in London are also likely to be able to get rid of a great deal of the housework for you, meaning that your free time can be spent with your child instead of doing chores. In turn, a nanny or au pair may actually mean you spend more quality time with your child, not less.
