Flexible doesn’t have to mean precarious. Koru Kids is a real employment contract with a real family, not a shift-by-shift gamble.
Why nannies stay
Pick the afternoons, mornings or full days that work, and you'll match with families whose schedules line up. Most nannies work 3–5 afternoons a week, 3–6pm.
We only show you with families in your area. No hour-long commutes. Walk or hop on the bus – home before it gets dark.
Park trips, baking, den-building, homework help. The afternoons kids need after a busy day. You're not a babysitter – you're the best part of their week.
Your pay includes your hourly wage plus 12.05% for holiday pay.
You’ll log your shifts in our app. The family you work for will approve them. You’ll be paid on the 7th of the month.
You’ll earn more as you gain experience, and we’ll review your level once you’ve been with us a while.
Babysitting or informal experience
1+ year working with children or a parent/grandparent yourself
2+ years professional experience
3+ years as a nanny – you can set your own rate
The application form is fast and we'll let you know instantly if we have jobs near you so we don't waste your time.
We'll ask for contact details of two references. We'll email them and ask them a few questions.
One of these references will have seen you working with children (including babysitting or volunteering).
One of these references can be a character reference but can't be a family member.
You'll complete your profile. Add a warm & happy photo, tell families why you will make a good after school nanny and about your experience.
You'll be able to apply directly to families whose jobs you like.
You can choose a job with the right hours, location and age of children you enjoy working with.
Most families will want to interview and set up a paid trial with the kids before offering you the job.
Once you agree to the job offer we'll issue you a contract and help you get started in your new job.

You don’t need formal childcare qualifications. What matters is that you’re warm, reliable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids.
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 family’s 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.
You can be working in 2 weeks. Local families waiting.
