Are you a fully vetted nanny who drives? Now you can get an extra £50 bonus when you start working with a family.

 

Driving nannies are in high demand, and this is our way of saying thank you for the added flexibility you bring.

How it works:

  • Start working with a family through our platform

  • Complete your first full month of work

  • You’ll get a £50 bonus*

 

We’ve been told by families time and again that nannies who drive make everyday life easier by bringing much-needed flexibility, from before-school drop-offs to after-school playdates.


For you, it simply means more opportunities and extra income for a skill you already have.

Kids walking home from school

2.40pm: You head to the school to pick up the children at 3pm.

3pm: You’re greeted with big smiles and tales about their day.

3.15pm: You arrive at the family’s house and it’s time for a healthy snack and some downtime before you start homework.

3.30pm: You help with reading, encourage them when they get stuck – Koru Kids sent you some training on ‘growth mindset’ and it helps the children feel positive when things are hard.

4pm: The children are busy with some arts and crafts as you make a quick dinner of pasta with a hidden vegetable sauce you found in the Koru Kids cookbook.

5pm: After dinner you stack the dishwasher and sit with the kids while they finish their crafts and lego masterpieces.

6pm: The parents return and you give them a run-down of the afternoon. They are so grateful to return to happy children and know homework and dinner is taken care of.

The family will be your employer. Koru Kids manage all the admin on their behalf to make sure everything is set up for you correctly. 

No – you can become a nanny in many locations across the UK. We’ll tell you how many family jobs are near you within 60 seconds when you apply.  

No – anyone over the age of 18 can become a nanny.

No. We add a service fee on top of your pay to families. You’ll be paid the agreed rate on your job offer but Koru Kids will also charge the family a fee. This makes sure you’re employed legally and protected with insurance. 

It also covers our ongoing support to make sure you are supported and given the right training for your role.

Yes – most nannies only work for one family.

No – you don’t need any formal qualifications or experience to become a nanny. However, you need to have taken care of children before such as babysitting, volunteering or at a holiday camp.

Most families are looking for a nanny to help them for the school year during term-time. We ask that you can commit to a minimum of 3 months as families sometimes are looking for shorter-term roles. 

You’ll also be able to do a trial shift with the family before you accept the job.

Nannies typically only look after one families children (or in a nanny share two families children). Nannies work in the children’s home whereas childminders work in their own home looking after children from different families. You can find more information on childminding here.
