How do I pay the school closure nanny?
Our mission is to make every process as seamless as possible for you, to take away the hassle that comes with employing someone to work within your home. From the moment you speak to your school closure nanny consultant through to the very end of your experience with Little Ones, your experience will be as smooth as possible. With Little Ones school closure 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.
Little Ones understands that employing a nanny - even if it is for a short time can come with a great deal of stress and strings. This is why we are working with you throughout the entire process to ensure that your experience is as stress free as possible. Your consultant will be on hand at any point throughout your school closure nanny placement to answer any questions you might have.
Comprehensive vetting for your security
For almost 15 years, Little Ones has been dedicated to ensuring your children are in safe hands. Our vetting procedure is comprehensive and will leave no stone unturned and put your mind completely at rest. Our consultants only work with school closure childcarers who are compliant and who they have personally checked. We understand that letting someone into your home to care for your children can be daunting enough as it is, not being able to go through a full interview process yourself takes it to the next level. This is why Little Ones has the most extensive vetting and interview process in the industry. All of our school closure nannies have been interviewed at length, where experience is discussed at great length, copies of documents are taken and references we are able to personally contact are obtained.
All of our school closure nannies are required to have two references that our consultants are able to verify verbally and all candidates must have a clear enhanced DBS certificate before we place them.
Knowing how to react in an emergency situation is paramount to all our temporary nannies which is why they will all have an Ofsted compliant paediatric first aid certificate that is renewed regularly. All candidates that completed their paediatric first aid certificate with Little Ones will have completed a section on the importance of health and hygiene and how to encourage children to be thorough with their own health and hygiene. Ensuring everyone in your home is as thorough as they possibly can with their hygiene, especially washing their hands, is currently the best way to protect your family.
Our vetting procedure includes:
Face to face interviews in our Central London offices
Personally checking two verbal references
A clear enhanced DBS check
An Ofsted compliant first aid qualification
Identity checks
Our school closure nannies are utter professionals who are either career nannies who have decided to do school closure 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 school closure 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.
