Most families are looking for a minimum commitment of 3 months to give you time to settle in with the kids and their routines.

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.
