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!

    • If no one else has a problem, then it sugggests that the delivery person may not be aware of any harm and would respond well to a conversation. It also goes without saying that just because no one else has a problem, that the OP is not valid in raising their issues.
    • Remember, you never know what someone else is going through behind closed doors....
    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc.
