Advice & Tips for Parents Hiring a Nanny

We've been supplying childcare to parents since 1975

Tinies recruits many kinds of childcarers, including nannies, mothers' helps, babysitters, maternity nurses, and more, for families in the UK and overseas.

We've gathered a wealth of experience and knowledge over the years on the best way for families to hire a nanny or other childcare, and what steps need to be taken to ensure the smooth employment of a nanny.

Important Nanny advice for parents

The following are some essential nanny tips for parents to remember after hiring a nanny.

  • Parents should establish clear expectations for their nannies and regularly communicate with them about how things are going.
  • Periodically checking in with the nanny about their workload and any issues that need to be addressed is essential for creating an atmosphere of trust and respect.
  • It is vital to ensure that the nanny has enough time off throughout the week to rest and recharge in order to stay motivated and inspired in their work.
  • Finally, ensure you have a backup plan if your nanny cannot come in for any reason. Our team can assist you in case you need an emergency nanny as well.

We have worked with Tinies Brighton for a number of years when looking for both temporary and permanent nursery staff. What impresses us most about Tinies Brighton is the way in which they always ensure that they understand our requirements, whether the position is for an entry level childcare practitioner in a 25 place nursery or a nursery manager at a 120 place nursery. Tinies has developed a thorough knowledge of our business and our culture and only ever puts forward applicants who fit our specification, thus saving our business a significant amount of time and cost by not having to interview candidates who are unsuitable. We would thoroughly recommend Tinies Brighton to any childcare business in the area.
