Can a nanny work in my home at the moment?
A part-time nanny is the most COVID-friendly choice.
A part-time nanny is a COVID-friendly choice. Our nannies live locally, complete COVID-19 training and are constantly supported to stay COVID-safe. When you search for a nanny with us, we'll only show you nannies who live within walking or cycling distance of your home.
A super-smart student to help with homework while you finish up work? A football fanatic to get the kids outside? A star baker who's raised their own family and can whip up healthy meals? We think we have the right nanny for you.
Your children will get personal care and attention, giving you the space to work or just breathe!

Finding your nanny
All our nannies pass strict vetting. This includes ID checks, references and passing our Koru Kids training course.

We also include an enhanced DBS and online first aid course when you agree to hire a nanny, as well as covering the cost of Public Liability Insurance.
Handling your employer obligations
Does becoming an employer sound like admin? Not with Koru Kids. We take care of contracts, payroll and other legal obligations on your behalf. If required, we’ll make sure you’re set up with HMRC, and pay National Insurance and pension contributions at no extra cost.
Ongoing support
We have a dedicated team to help your nanny succeed in their new role. We offer top-up training, 1:1 coaching, access to a best-in-class activity bank, plus lots of helpful features via our app.
20% of the Koru Kids service fee covers VAT.
I've had some bad experiences with childcare before, so I feel so relieved now. Saeda is brilliant and the kids love her. She’s everything I’d hoped for, plus she comes with backup from Koru Kids, which is really important. All of my boxes are ticked... I feel like the nightmare of worry and headache has vanished.

You might be wondering
Looking for a nanny for your baby or toddler?
Most Koru Kids nannies are only really experienced with older kids (4+). However, many are happy to look after younger kids while their parents are at home, and if that's your plan they could be perfect for you. You're welcome to have a look at our nannies and see if there's a good fit in your area.
Can I share a nanny with another family?
Yes! Our nannies can look after children from two families at the same time. It’s a brilliant option if you’d like your children to benefit from a play mate while still getting all the benefits of a nanny. Plus, it’s just £9 per hour, per family and the nanny gets a pay-rise too. Find out more.
