We often get asked \u2018How long does it take to find a match for nanny share?\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sorry about this but the answer is, it really varies. Some families meet just one other family a few days after registering with us, and immediately decide to go ahead with them. They\u2019re either lucky or fast decision makers. Others meet three, four or even more families, and take longer to decide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019ve been trying to find a nanny share match by yourself, you may have messaged and met with many, many more than three or four families. One mum said she felt like she\u2019d spent the whole summer trying to find her own nanny share before she called us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finding a match through Koru Kids feels very different to finding one by yourself. In fact, it might feel like .. nothing much. That\u2019s because we do the work in the background for you. We introduce you\u00a0only\u00a0<\/em>to potential matches who really might work for you, and who are definitely still available. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s how it works: When a new parent signs up, we immediately look in our database for a potential match. We might consider 20-30 families within a few minutes\u2019 walking distance, using software to filter for the best match in terms of days, times, children\u2019s ages, nanny cost, language, school\/nursery drop-offs and pickups, and start date. We then contact the best matches to see if they\u2019re still available. Only after we\u2019ve found a potential match, and having spoken to both families about the other, do we tell you about your potential match and, if you say \u2018yippee\u2019 (or something along those lines), we introduce you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So from your perspective, it might look like there\u2019s not much happening\u2014but on the contrary, like a duck in a pond, there\u2019s a lot going on under the surface. (Less quacking though, at least on a good day.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
