Is this your first Nanny? Let's look at some of the advantages...

Nannies provide one-to-one care in the family home, so it is similar to the type of care a child receives from a parent. Your child will therefore benefit from plenty of attention and stimulation, and, in the vast majority of cases, will form an emotional bond with his or her nanny.

Employing an in-home child carer allows a child to adjust more gradually to parents who are returning to work. Although the primary carer is away, the surroundings remain the same, and the child can enjoy the familiarity and security of being at home.
Most nannies now study towards an early years or childcare qualification.

Many of the nannies registered with us are qualified, holding one of the following:

 

  • NVQ childcare qualification
  • EDEXCEL (BTEC) National Diploma in Early Years.
  • NNEB - Diploma in Nursery Nursing
  • DCE & CACHE - Diploma in Childcare and Education
  • MNT training – maternity and nanny training

 

A qualification shows that the nanny is commited gives reassurance that the nanny is committed to her profession, and that she has recieved training in areas such as nutrition, development and learning through play.

A loving nanny often becomes a member of the family, and stays in touch with the children even after she has left.

One of the commonest nightmares that you might find as a working parent is the conflict that arises when you are expected at work, say for an important meeting, and your child falls ill. Employing a nanny eliminates this worry, as they will be in place during the day to take care of your child, thereby avoiding any need to move the child to another location. In this context, we can also help with providing emergency temporary nannies to cover those unexpected situations that arise from time to time.

 

The advantages of using our nanny services:

    • Time-saving for busy parents! You can spend hours on advertising, screening, and sifting through applications from nannies.
    • Many parents unknowingly miss important steps in the screening process that may result in disappointment and frustration later.
    • Individuals not experienced in hiring nannies might not discuss all the important issues that need to be addressed. We facilitate the important discussions that help families and our nannies understand expectations in advance.
    • Royal Nannies agency takes the worry out of the paperwork by providing a format for a written job description and employment agreement. We personalise these documents for each family’s needs. This smoothes the way for a successful relationship with your nanny and prevents misunderstandings later on.
