If you require childcare at short notice due to an emergency, Little Ones is here to provide the helping hand you are looking for. Whether it is because your regular childcare has fallen through, your child is sick or something else has come up, our Emergency Nannies are on hand to step in. Our Emergency Nannies are able to be with you within a matter of hours of you speaking with our Emergency Nanny consultants. From the moment you speak with one of our specialist consultants and provide the details of the care you require, our consultants will start the search for your Emergency Nanny. Little Ones has been helping families for over 15 years to find emergency care, this means we have a vast database of professional nannies that have been vetted and interviewed personally by our Emergency Nanny consultants to pull from.
Our specialist consultants have spent a lot of time building the relationships they have with our temporary nannies, this is because we know that by having an open, positive and continuous relationship with each and every nanny we work with, we are able to rely on our nannies to be there for you when you need it most.
Our temporary nannies are utter professionals who are either career nannies who have decided to do temporary placements while they work out their next permanent nanny position or nannies who work full time as a temporary nanny. Little Ones has built a reputation over the last 15 years of only working with the most elite nannies available and this certainly is the case with our temporary nannies. We don’t settle for less than the best we know you wouldn’t settle either. Needing a nanny at the last minute doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice quality for availability.
When you require Emergency childcare, time is of the essence. This means that you do not have the luxury of time to interview extensively a range of candidates over a number of weeks to find the right fit for you. This is is why Little Ones takes the vetting and interview process so seriously when we sign up Emergency Nannies to our database.
Your Emergency Nanny consultant will provide you with a selection of profiles of Emergency Nannies that are available and meet your requirements. Once you have decided on an Emergency Nanny that you would like to interview, your consultant will arrange a phone interview between the two of you. This is where you are able to discuss your requirements and any specifications you have in regards to the care you need in more detail, such as allergies your children might have or other special requirements that need to be noted. This will allow you to get to know your Emergency Nanny better and decide whether they are the right fit for you. It is important that you communicate thoroughly what you are specifically looking for in your Emergency Nanny to ensure that the candidate you are speaking with is able to get a comprehensive understanding of your family’s needs.
It is important to remember that all Emergency Nannies that Little Ones works with for short term placements have been interviewed in person by our expert consultants. All of our Emergency Nannies are brought into the office for a face to face interview, where experience is discussed at great length, copies of documents are taken and references we are able to contact are obtained. Our consultants have spent years building up a database of Emergency Nannies that they have personally vetted, trust and work with consistently. Our consultants request feedback on all nannies they place, so you can be sure that any Emergency Nanny you are presented with comes with glowing reviews.
Our consultants have worked within the Nanny recruitment industry for almost a decade which means they are able to select the finest Emergency Nannies available with expert precision.
Little Ones offers our clients two different charge rate options when deciding to hire an Emergency Nanny. While every placement is unique, these options are the standard pay rates offered however depending on the specifications of the job, these rates may vary. With Little Ones Emergency Nanny services, you do not need to worry about paying the Nanny’s Tax or National Insurance contributions like you would with a permanent Nanny. Either the Nanny is employed through Little Ones and we take care of their contributions or they are self employed and are responsible for declaring any contributions to HMRC themselves.
1) £150.00 per 7-day agency fee plus VAT = £180.00 in total. Once payment is processed we then activate your search and start sending your profile of qualified candidates who are free for this position. It is then up to you to choose a profile and arrange a telephone interview as a quick introduction so you feel comfortable with the nanny who is going to work for you.
All of the nannies are self-employed on this option and therefore it is their responsibility to declare any taxes and contributions to HMRC.
The hourly pay rate for the nannies would be £15 per hour but this would increase to £16 per hour on weekends and double time on any UK bank holidays during the year.
2) £26.00 per hour and in this, the following is included; VAT, candidates wages, Holiday/pension contribution as per UK law and our agency margin. This option is suitable for 20 hours throughout the week period. A minimum of 5 x hours per day is our minimum booking policy.
