Parents

Kiwis have a great reputation for their 'can do' positive attitude to their jobs. We know it's vital that you find the right person to work with you and your children.

To register your interest or simply for more information please do not hesitate to fill in our parents application or Contact us.

We check at least two references both in writing and verbally and provide these for you. We can arrange for you to speak to the referees too if required. We do our own independent New Zealand Police Check and verify all nanny and teaching qualifications.

Nannies who have a recognised qualification are expected to take full charge of the children in their care. This may include their food preparation, washing and ironing their clothes and clearing up after them. Childcare is the focus of this role keeping children creatively and actively stimulated.

Tutor/Governesses have a full teaching qualification and are required to add some educational support to the nanny role. Great for helping with homework and finding those learning opportunities in fun and play after school or during the holidays.

Parent helpers are not qualified as nannies but have childcare experience. Their duties may include more general housework in addition to working with the children. Individual job descriptions vary and writing Contracts helps clarify expectations on both sides.

*special - tutor/governess available - qualified teachers long or short term for educational support. Why not employ a New Zealand Teacher for the holidays to make the most of every learning opportunity!*

By clarifying your needs we will try to help you find the right person for your family and your budget.

Think carefully about the sort of person you are looking for and give us as much information as possible about you and your children.

Some of our candidates are already in London and available for interview in person. Some are getting ready to come over and we would encourage you to chat on the telephone. We may be able to set up a video link so that you can talk and see them on line.

Fill in the parents application form and we will contact you shortly to discuss your needs in further detail.

Preparing for the interview.

For safety reasons we must be informed of the timing and location of face to face interviews, and strongly recommend that these take place during daylight hours to ensure the nanny's security.

The candidates will bring their passport, certificates and original references for you to verify. Please do not by shy about asking to see these. One World Nannies endeavours to put forward only the most suitable candidates. However it is your responsibility to satisfy yourselves that the applicant is, in every way suitable and qualified for the position. We will provide evidence of our independent New Zealand Police Check and copies of the independent written references we have obtained.

"We have been delighted with the nanny that was placed with us through One World Nannies. She is a very competent and caring nanny. One World nannies have offered us a very professional service and were able to help us on issues to do with the nanny share arrangement and Ofsted registration for our nanny. Our daughter has got on really well with the nanny and we have been very confident in her abilities to care for our daughter and stimulate her through her changing needs as she has developed over the past year. We would not hesitate to recommend One World Nannies and we will definitely be using them again when I return to work from maternity leave for the second time." Sarah - London
