We want to make sure you’re paid correctly based on your childcare experience. If you’re already a Koru Kids nanny but don’t think your pay is right, please let us know so we can adjust your pay.
Families need different amounts of childcare and we try to support this as much as possible. We balance this with making sure our nannies can rely on their income. We don’t allow zero hour contracts, so when you agree to work with a family they’ll commit to paying you for a regular number of hours each week during term time.
