Part-time nannies - help when you need it
We have trained and vetted nannies available immediately in London for short term contracts as well as longer-term roles. If you’ve found that your childcare plans have fallen through or are working from home for the foreseeable future and need a few weeks or months of cover, we have Koru Kids nannies available near you now.
A part-time nanny is also 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.
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.

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.

Looking for a nanny for your baby or toddler?
Most Koru Kids nannies have experience with children age 3+. However, many are happy to look after younger kids while their parents are at home.
It's free to browse our nannies so you can see if they are right for you.
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.
