Other childcare positions

Nanny housekeeper

This is where the job of caring for the children and managing the household are combined so that the nanny is also responsible for shopping, cooking, light housework and supervision of other household staff if applicable.

Proxy parenting

This job is where a nanny will take full 24 hour responsibility for the house and children whilst parents are away on business or holidays.

Babysitting

This is where childcarers look after children in the evenings. This is usually in the parents own home for a short period of time whilst they are out for the evening, or at a hotel where Tinies have built up a babysitting service.

Au pairs

These are foreign girls or boys who are able to assist the mother with household and childcare responsibilities but are usually not qualified to be left in sole charge of your children. You should be aware, however, that an Au Pair should never be expected to take sole charge of children under the age of 3 years. Only a Nanny has sufficient skills and experience to take such responsibility. Tinies does not supply au pairs to parent, but we will be happy to recommend a company that does if you are or are interested in becoming an au pair. Please contact your local Tinies branch for more details.

Childminders

A Childminder is someone who looks after children in their own home. Whilst standards vary, lists or registered childminders are available from your local Children's Information Service. Childminders must be registered by Ofsted in England/Wales, and regulated by the Care Commission in Scotland. Most childminders work in their own homes, sometimes with a partner or assistant. Childminders are self-employed and negotiate a fee with parents for the service they provide. Childminders must have had basic training and hold Public Liability Insurance.
