Hampstead Nanny Agency always puts first the safety of our families in Hampstead, this is the reason that our recruitment process is one of the most thorough screening process in the nanny industry. Little Ones Nanny Agency start with an interview face-to-face for around 40 minutes, our interviews are this long to go through assessment of work and personal history, and to get to know better why the nanny has interested in childcare and how this started.
Our consultants after the interview will take the verbal reference to have proof of the work history, verbal references that the Hampstead families can contact to get third people's opinion about the nanny that they interviewed. Little Ones consultants will verify that identity documents and work visa are real, a process that is repeated with each of our candidates that have the profiles to work with Hampstead families.
After the family makes the offer of work to the nanny, our consultants (following Ofsted guidelines) will request a DBS or police check from the nanny’s home country should s/he have lived fewer than 6 months in the UK.
Little Ones Nanny Agency has a requirement for nannies to acquire a Paediatric First Aid certification. We offer Little Ones first aid courses, certified by the First Aid Industry Body for less than a third of the price charged for the same course for nannies by St John’s Ambulance. This is in order to ensure all nannies working in Hampstead from Little Ones nanny agency are able to find a course.
When you have finished your first call, our Hampstead consultants will select the most suitable nanny candidates that will have as many of the requirements that you specified over the phone/email. You will also receive candidates’ profiles that may not have all the requirements that you have requested, but who may suit your position and match your family. Our consultants will select the best candidates based on the experience of working with other families around Hampstead with similar work to yours.
For example, if you have asked our consultants to search for a nanny that can speak Italian with the children, be flexible to travel with the family and drive, Little Ones Hampstead consultants may also introduce you to a candidate that has all the requirements less Italian-speaker, for the simple reason that the candidate lives within walking distance of your home.
Little Ones, as the largest childcare agency in Europe, has experienced consultants that recruit for all nanny and au pair positions, as well as domestic and private staff in Hampstead. The types of candidates that we offer are:
Each of our childcare candidates could work on a permanent or temporary basis. Our temporary candidates can help Hampstead families for as short a period as a few hours per day up to 6 months. Little Ones Hampstead aims to help each of the families that come to our Agency in every aspect, not only offering different types of nanny and housekeeper, as we understand that most of the families that live in Hampstead will want their children to talk a second language, which is why most of our nannies are bilingual and our consultants will find a nanny who speaks the language that you request, for example French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, German, Dutch, Mandarin, Cantonese, Portuguese, Japanese, Arabic, Swedish, Finnish and Danish, in addition to English.
A Live-in Nanny in Hampstead, as the name suggests, will work as a nanny and live with the family. They work 10 to 12 hours per day, 5 days per week, and they can do two babysitting sessions, which will be included in the salary. They could work for 24 hours on call or for a 6-day shift, but the family needs to take in consideration that the salary will be higher.
A Full-time Nanny can also work as a Live-out Nanny; they will have the same tasks as a Live-in Nanny, but they won’t live with the family. They will leave the house when their nanny shift finishes.
Little Ones Hampstead consultants will send you profiles of live-in or live-out nannies (depending on your searching) that have experience with children of your family’s age group. The tasks of a full-time nanny are the following, but not limit to: preparing the children for school in the morning, picking up from and dropping off at school, preparing meals, bath and bed time, driving the children, arranging playdates and extra activities after school, helping with homework, making sure that the children’s rooms are tidy and clean, and keeping the parents informed of developmental progress.
A full-time live-in nanny will charge around £450 to £600 net per week, but this could be higher if the family requires a 6-day shift or extra hours for babysitting or additional tasks, like home schooling. For full-time live-out nannies, the wage will be £11 to £13 net per hour or £400 to £600 net per week.
A Hampstead part-time nanny will help the parents to look after their children for 10-12 hours per day, from one to four days per week or for as short a period as 10 hours per week. Part-time nannies are usually students that are looking to work for a few hours per day or nannies with years of experience who are looking to have a job for fewer hours per week; you will also find part-time nannies that will have more than one part-time job.
The tasks of a Little Ones part-time nanny are: teaching the children a second language, arranging play-dates and social and extra activities after school, preparing meals, bath and bed time, informing the parents about of the children’s development progress, washing and ironing the children’s clothes, ensuring children’s bedrooms are clean and tidy, doing homework assistance, shopping for the household and driving the children, and traveling with the family if this is needed.
A part-time nanny in Hampstead with more than three years of experience will have a wage of £11 to £15 net per hour, Little Ones consultants will consider what the best range of salary is of the nanny depending on their experience in childcare, skills and qualifications.
Some of the most sought-after nannies in Hampstead are our After-school Nannies. This type of nanny is the perfect option for those families that have children of school age and just need some help in the afternoon when they come home after school. Little Ones After-school Nannies will work around 3 to 6 hours per day, plus babysitting, with a wage of around £10 to £15 net per hour or £200 to £300 net per week.
After-school nannies usually live outside of the family home, as they are often students that go to the university on a part-time basis. They will help you with picking up the children from school, doing homework, driving the children to extra activities in the afternoons, preparing dinner, bath and bed routine, and more.
Many families choose this option for their childcare. Au pairs are usually women under 30 years old that come to England to improve their skills in English, that will help families to look after their children for no more than 30 hours per week.
An Au pair in Hampstead will expect to live with the family and have their own bedroom. Their salary is around £150 to £200 net per week, and families should not expect the au pair to do housekeeping work, since their main job is to help with everything related with the children.
A Hampstead Live-in or Live-out Nanny-Housekeeper will be able to help families in Hampstead with the children and keep their homes tidy and clean to a high standard for all our premium clients.

A Nanny-Housekeeper may live-in with the family or live-out, work full-time or part-time, for 5 or 6 days, for 10 to 12 hours per day.
Nanny-housekeepers’ duties may include cooking, laundry, ironing, cleaning, tidying, bathrooms, vacuuming, organising cupboards and general household organisation, plus the nannies’ duties, like driving the children to school and after school activities.
