Here at Koru Kids, we help families find great quality, flexible after school childcare. We couldn’t do this without our brilliant nannies, who each bring their own individual hobbies, passions and experiences to the role. We wanted to showcase some of our newest recruits, including homework hero Harry, yoga lover Beatrice and Simi who can’t wait to make slime with the kids!

If the thought of hiring an after school nanny makes you feel a bit ‘what?!’ you wouldn’t be the first! Associations with Mary Poppins and inflexible, admin riddled arrangements are long gone; after school nannies come from all walks of life and have never been easier to hire than now.

After school nanny shares can be brilliant for kids, parents and nannies alike. The kids get to play with a friend, while the parents save money on the cost of the nanny, and the nanny gets paid more per hour. That’s a win-win-win for everyone.

THAT CALL. 7:20am. The croaky, sad voice on the other end of the line. Your nanny doesn’t feel well. She’s so sorry, she knows this will be really inconvenient, but there is no way she can work today. Hopefully she’ll feel better tomorrow.
