You don’t need professional experience to become a part-time nanny.
You’ve regularly babysat for family and friends. You might have volunteered with children, worked at an after school club or have other childcare experience.
Your children may have grown up but you still know the ins and outs of caring for small children, or you might provide regular care for your grandchildren.
You’ve worked as a teacher, teaching assistant, nursery worker, nanny, childminder, lunchtime or passenger assistant, or similar roles.
Your rate is based on the length of your experience and roles you’ve had:
Most families are looking for 9-15 hours a week on regular weekday afternoons. So you still have your evenings and weekends to yourself.
The support you get from Koru Kids is second to none. We support you in the beginning and in the long run.
The family commits to regular hours in your contract, so you can rely on this income. If the family cancel a shift that’s in your contract you’ll still be paid.
You’ll be able to find a family who lives near you. So say goodbye to long commutes!
No – you can become a nanny in many locations across the UK including Bristol, Brighton, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Surrey, Hertforshire, and Berkshire.

You’ll be able to see where the families live when searching for roles so you can pick a location convenient for you. After collecting the children from school, you’ll spend most of your time in their house.

No – you don’t need any formal qualifications or experience to become a nanny. However, we do like to see that you have spent time with kids in the past (and that you enjoyed it!).
Most families are looking for a minimum commitment of 3 months to give you time to settle in with the kids and their routines.
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.
