Hi all


I should be grateful for some advice on how I go about selecting a full time nanny/finding a full time nanny share - eg, what sort of questions should I be asking of candidates re: qualifications or experience. I should also be grateful for any advice on what sort of hours I can expect a "full time" nanny to work - ideally it would need to be 7.30am til 7pm as DH and I both work in the City, but I appreciate that it is unlikely that we could get someone to cover that (nor do I really want to leave babyAWPP for that long, but can't currently see a way round it). Would a live-in nanny do longer hours (given they wouldn't have to commute)?


Apologies for the open ended nature of these questions, but I am a little all at sea (as you can tell!)


Thanks in advance for any guidance.

I've been a nanny for 16 years with several families. As a live in-nanny I would expect to work a 12 hour day as there is no travelling involved and one of my jobs was actually 7am till 7.30pm! As a live out nanny at the moment I work a 10 hour day which seems to be the norm with other nannies that I know. All jobs are different and hours and wages are something you can discuss right from the start. You should be asking for copies of any certificates they have - college or first aid etc and references that you can check out. Hope that helps a little! Good luck!

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
