Do you need a guiding hand through the first few weeks of becoming a parent, someone to cover last minute, or someone to step in for a bit longer while you sort out your next childcare steps? A temporary Nanny can be the solution for you.
What are temporary Nannies?
Temporary Nannies are well-trained professionals qualified to care for children of any age. Some are also trained and experienced in caring for newborns. They can work as last-minute, backup, or emergency Nannies in the Mayfair area.
Temporary Nannies in Mayfair are flexible and can work anywhere from 2 to 12 hours per day for as many days as you need. Sometimes Nannies take on temporary roles while they are still looking for more permanent roles, but some Nannies also prefer being self-employed so that they are allowed the flexibility of when they work and who they work for.
Temporary Nannies can also be mother’s helpers and may live-in or live-out, depending on how often you require their assistance. For example, some temporary Nannies can work 24 hours per day in rotation with another Nanny.
What are the duties of a Mayfair temporary Nanny?
The duties expected from a temporary Nanny depend on the period they work for your family. They can include (but are not limited to):
Washing and ironing children’s clothes
Preparing meals and snacks
Ensuring children’s bedrooms are clean and tidy
Helping with homework
Shopping for the household
Driving the children
Educational activities such as teaching a second language
Accompanying on play-dates and activities
Should you use an agency to find a temporary Nanny in Mayfair?
You may be wondering whether you should enlist the services of an agency instead of conducting your own search for a temporary Nanny in Mayfair. We will list some of the pros and cons to help you make an informed decision.
If you choose to post advertisements online on various websites, you may have a bigger pool of candidates. However, you will find that most of them are unsuitable in terms of location, experience or specifics you need. You will spend a lot of time searching through applications of unvetted candidates. Furthermore, you will have to complete your own background checks, which is very time-consuming.
If you choose to take the agency route, they will handle absolutely everything for you. All you need to do is register and tell them what you need. They will get to work for you and all you will have to do is conduct interviews with your preferred temporary Nannies.
