What our nannies think..

"Koru Kids is a great way of finding a job without having to worry about anything! It is easy to find the families and interact with them and to create a contract. The pay comes through the company and you don't have to decide the amount or when to ask for it. They have tons of tips and ideas on the website in case you run low and the support is always there! The only thing I have to think about is how to be a good nanny, everything else is taken care of!"
"I have only done private babysitting before however, going with Koru Kids has been the best decision I have made. They are so helpful and attentive, providing support and advice every step of the day for first time or experienced nannies! Everything is taken care of from payslips to holiday pay and training. I would definitely recommend Koru Kids!!"
"The training was really in depth, interesting and the videos were informative and fun. I really got on well with the family. Koru Kids offers ongoing support and has safeguards in place to ensure you get paid. Overall, I've had an amazing experience, and cannot complain. It's very professional and I'd highly recommend it."
