MOTHERS HELP/JUNIOR NANNY

A mothers help is as carer who has got a genuine interest in children who works under supervision on the daily running of the household. The mothers’ help you get from us will have at least 1 year relevant experience and/or a qualification. Duties regarding children will be according to their experience, the type of household and the ages of the children. An extra hand rather than someone who takes charge. Depending on the childcare responsibilities expected, they will be able to help around the house with light housework and run errands. If she’s experienced and confident enough she can take sole charge of the children at times. Unlike most nannies, mothers’ helps will normally do some light housework (dusting, hoovering etc.).

A mothers help can be either live-in or live-out and we have got Mothers helps from Sweden, UK, Romania, France, Spain, Italy, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and many other countries. We have mothers help roles all over the UK and overseas throughout the year.

We also run super nanny courses, First aid courses and MNT training at our MBA Awards for qualifications.

A Junior Nanny is either:
an ex au-pair with least 1 year childcare experience
a recently qualified nanny with little/moderate (less than 2 years) practical experience 

Apart from having usual nanny roles for qualified and very experienced nannies, we also have families willing to hire a junior nanny/mothers help or au-pair. These roles can be well paid too and we are experts in placing the right candidate in the right role. After 1 year as an au pair/ junior nanny or similar, we expect the junior nannies and mother’s helps to be up to scratch as a “normal nanny” 

Recommended rates of pay for mother’s helps: 

Live in MH: The going rate starts from £175-£325 net per week for a 5 day week.

Daily MH FT or PT: The going rate is between £7-9 net per hour.

The price varies a great deal depending on the location of the role, number of children, duties, expectations and requirement.

We are happy to discuss the various rate

 Why Peek-a-boo?

Finding the right person to care for your child is one of the most important decisions you’ll make but it can be a daunting prospect. A good carer can make the world of difference. Find the right person and you’ll be able to leave for work guilt-free, focus on your job when you get there and even enjoy a relaxed evening out, knowing your child is in capable hands.

Putting up your own adverts, setting up interviews and properly vetting a prospective au pair can be done on your own but it’s a big job. Parents can make the mistake of trying to meet too many potential candidates. Lots of people traipsing through your house can be tiring for you and confusing to your child.

A good aupair and nanny agency like us can really save parents time. We’re not afraid to ask all the important questions to both the family and the prospective au pair so only the most suitable matches meet up. A detailed set of questions that cover everything from a carer’s hobbies and interests to what they would feed your child is vital and will be asked to weed out people who immediately don’t fit the bill. Finding the perfect match takes skill and it’s where an experienced and professional agency like Peek-a-boo can really help.

We want the placement to be a success and it is very important to us that both parts are completely happy. Peek-a-boo has got an excellent back-up service and we are always here for support and advice in any Childcare matter so please don’t hesitate to contact us if anything is troubling you at any time, before, during or after the placement.

 

We proudly donate £2 per placement we make to NSPCC. We also support a number of other UK Charities and host monthly events, meetings and trips that we welcome all our au-pairs and nannies to join, meet and have a good time at.

Support:
Peek-a-boo has got an excellent back-up service and we are always here for support and advice before, during or after the placement. We are here to support you through the settling-in period, and help if things aren’t working out. It can take time for both sides to adjust to the new set-up but a good agency like us will know when it’s not right and swiftly match a family with a new au pair if needed.

We understand that having children and dealing with childcare may create issues both at home and /or at work.  Therefore, BEST Solicitors LLP offer our registered clients FREE initial advice on any employment law and / or family law matter. Please quote “Peek-a-boo” when you call a BEST solicitor.
