We’re not a traditional agency. Our simple and hassle free platform is built for busy parents.
We don’t charge a huge upfront free. Our fee is included in the nanny’s hourly rate – so if they don’t work, we don’t earn.
Our service is fully comprehensive so we’ll take care of everything you need to legally employ your nanny without patchworking different agencies.
Nannies’ rates start at £16.50/hour. That’s an all-in price covering their pay, employer’s National Insurance, pension contributions, public liability insurance, and our service fee. There’s a one-off £199 set-up fee when you first hire a nanny, which covers an enhanced DBS check and HMRC registration. We also ask for four weeks’ pay upfront as a deposit, which you get back when the match ends.
Some can, but the lots can’t. If your nanny can drive it will be marked on their profile.
All of our nannies speak fluent English. For most, it’s their first language, but many speak other languages as well. Our nannies come from a range of backgrounds, so just let us know on the registration form if you have any language requirements and we’ll do our best to send you nannies who speak that language. If it’s a bonus rather than a deal breaker, the number of potential nannies we can show you really increases.
We have a range of nannies if all experiences. Many of our nannies looking for after school shifts only have experience with older children but many others are willing to work longer hours and have experience with babies and younger children.
Top Tier nannies have been carefully vetted for their experience, so many will have specialist baby & toddler experience.
Look out for a run down of their experience on each profile.
Koru Kids nannies are not Ofsted registered. This means that you probably won’t be able to use government funding like Childcare Vouchers and Tax-Free Childcare.
Nannies may be willing to register with Ofsted independently, but the cost, time, and training required often makes it impractical. You can find out more in our Help Centre.
Nannies will look after your children in your home vs. a childminder who works in their home.
Nannies typically work for one family or two if it’s a nanny share. A childminder will look after children from multiple families.
