Many of today's families are finding the need to hire a helping hand around their home or to take care of their children. Little Ones, an internationally established nanny agency in South Kensington and a leading domestic and childcare placement provider in the United Kingdom, understands the demand and need for our services. With over 15 years in the industry, our childcare support has been very successful in helping families in searching for the best childcare staff. We have consultants whose knowledge and expertise are recruiting the best nannies for the families of South Kensington.
Every family has a unique reason for hiring a childcare provider. For instance, some parents who go to work every day want a nanny to look after their children whilst they are away. Others just like to have some help in overseeing their children as they do some household chores, while some find it helpful to have another person who comes with a wealth of information to provide the best care for their children. They have different motives, but all of them swear to the benefits of having a nanny.
But what are the benefits of hiring, and why is it the best option:
However, to enjoy the above mentioned benefits, it is essential to hire the best and most suitable person for you and your family first. And that is how we can help you here at Little Ones in South Kensington.
Little Ones, as the top childcare placement provider in the United Kingdom, is very dedicated to making the process of finding a nanny easier for the families in South Kensington. We pride ourselves in giving premium and excellent services for those people who trust us. Our years of experience and network of satisfied clients can guarantee that we provide only the most qualified people that match every parent’s requirements. We have a pool of professional consultants whose expertise is about recruiting the best people for the job. We also develop a thorough vetting procedure, which objective is to ensure that we will be able to choose the perfect match for our clients.
Our agency acknowledges the role of nannies in protecting the well-being of the children. That’s the reason why we developed in-depth screening and vetting procedures to ensure that we will match the client’s requirements. Our consultants work hand in hand with every client for them to understand the demands and qualifications that they want a prospective candidate to have.
The screening starts with a face-to-face interview with one of our consultants, where we assess their experiences and evaluate their qualifications. We also perform an extensive background check in which we verify information about them through previous employer remarks as well as standard criminal records or the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) and valid first aid qualification. After this, the consultants will determine which ones are suitable for the role. They would endorse them to the families who will get a chance to interview them and assess them better. Our clients will always have the final say in deciding which applicant they think would be the best for the position.
We at Little Ones make it our duty to provide premier service to our clients. To do that, we have to gain full insight into the requirements of every family and select the most appropriate match. Every client would need to undergo a phone consultation, at which point they could say every detailed requirement they may have.
Some clients tend to request a childcarer who speaks a particular language to communicate well with them or aid with the language development of their child. Others prefer someone who’s good with animals and who would be comfortable in doing tasks related to taking care of their pets. Some may wish for someone who has a driving license. Other families who like to travel would want a candidate who would be very happy to join them.
Even so, not all requests may be accommodated, but we will make sure to provide as many options as possible until the client finds a candidate that will perfectly suit their needs.
Little Ones is happy to offer a wide range of childcare services the families in South Kensington may need. They cater to every demand, and so every position is offered either on a permanent or temporary basis. A temporary position means that the candidate is expected to work for weeks and up to 6 months while a permanent position would refer to years and more.
These include the following:
Live-in nannies are childcarers who take residence in the family's home. They work between 10 and 12 hours per day and five days per week. Since they live in your home 24/7, live-in nannies can provide flexibility with work hours. The market rate for this position ranges from £300 to £600 net for 40 hours of work rendered.
Live-out nannies, however, are a good option for families who couldn’t provide accommodation and residence for their hired nanny. They offer the same quality of child care as live-in nannies, but they only work for a time they and their employer have agreed. Their market rate is between £11 to £14 net per hour and has a total workload of 40 hours per week.
Some families don’t require full-time assistance, and that’s the reason why Little Ones offer part-time positions as well. Part-time nanny and after school nanny entails working for the family for fewer hours. They usually live near their client’s home and are responsible for all the nursery chores, school runs, picking up the children from school, and other activities related to the children. The market rate for part-time and after-school nannies is £11 to £15 net per hour.
Our agency has the largest Au Pair job opportunities in South Kensington. Au pairs are young assistants from other countries who provide child care services to their host families in exchange for accommodation and allowances. They are treated as an extended family. An au pair can work up to 35 hours per week and adapt to the family’s lifestyle. They do not have the same training and experiences as full-time nannies do, so a shared care role is given to them. The standard allowance given to au pairs is between £150 to £200 net per week.
Aside from the tasks of taking care of the children, a nanny housekeeper is responsible for domestic housekeeping duties too. They are very flexible, hardworking, and experienced. Nanny housekeepers may live with a family or live out and work part-time. The market rate for a nanny housekeeper is £10 to £12 per hour for a live-out position and £400 to £600 net per week for a live-in role.
Temporary nannies assist families who require brief or emergency child care. They can look after children of any age and have the same requirements and qualifications as full-time nannies. The market rate for this role is £600 to £1000 net per week for a live-in role and £15 to £20 net per hour in a live-out position.
A maternity nurse is hired by families who are expecting a baby or already have a new addition in their family. They carry out duties related to handling a newborn child. They usually work five to seven days per week, for a period of one to 12 weeks after the birth of the baby. The average salary for maternity nurses is £18 to £22 net per hour.
