Angels Nannies and Babysitters prides itself on finding you the best quality childcarer. One way in which we feel we can do this best is by doing home visits. This way, we can get to know a bit more about you and your child(ren)'s needs. We will then only put forward applicants who we feel would really suit the post. This cuts down on a lot of time wasting.

We can provide a wide range of carers to suit different situations and, once you have found what you are looking for, Angels Nannies and Babysitters will help you with nanny tax, National Insurance issues and nanny contracts. Angels Nannies and Babysitters also offers a follow-up support placement scheme to ensure a smooth start to what we hope will be a happy and lasting relationship.

All nannies have to have at least 2 years sole charge nanny experience, a full and up to date c.v detailing full employment history with names address and contact details of employers, full passport, home address details, original childcare qualifications and a full criminal records check to register with angels nannies and babysitters. Please find out more on criminal records checks by following this link.

Babysitters: daytime or evening

Evening babysitters are experienced nannies who want to earn extra money in the evenings. The registration process is the same as full or part time nannies. They would be expected to assist with bath time and help with getting the child(ren) ready for bed, reading a story etc, should you so wish. Once the child(ren) are in bed asleep, the babysitters would then be expected to keep a safe and watchful eye over them.

Daytime babysitters also follow the same registration process. They would just watch over your child(ren) for a maximum of five hours within the home and would need a packed lunch type meal left for the child.

Nannies: full and part time

Nannies are experienced childcarers with childcare qualifications and/or sole charge childcare experience either within a private home setting or nursery/school and will hold a current criminal records police check. They will be expected to take full or part time sole or shared care of your child(ren). This care will include all nursery/school drop offs and pick-ups, after school or daytime play activities, trips to the park, library, zoo, play groups, music groups, swimming and play dates etc, preparing and cooking your child(ren)'s meals, quick tidy up before leaving, ie children's toys, washing up etc, taking your child(ren) to doctors/dentists/hairdressers appointments, doing your child(ren)'s laundry and ironing, but, most importantly of all, they are to be the emotional and physical support to your child(ren) while you are unable to be with them.

Agency guide price for nannies is around £9-£10 net per hour.

Weekend nannies

A weekend nanny can be a permanent or temporary "member of the family".

They would be expected to do exactly the same duties as a full time or part time nanny.

The nanny's salary would be agreed between you and the nanny, but Angels Nannies and Babysitters give a guide price of approximately £250 from 9pm Friday until 4pm Sunday. All nannies would have full police checks.

Night nannies

Night nannies come to your home and sleep over. They can help in many ways: a newborn who needs feeding, a toddler with a poor sleep pattern or simply for parents who need to be away for the night. The nannies would be expected to settle your child(ren) for bed, bathing, dressing, feeding, story time etc, and then see to all their needs throughout the night. In the morning, if the child(ren) are awake, we would expect the nanny to assist with either breakfast or dressing routine.

Night nannies' hours are from approximately 9pm to 7am. Pay would be in the region of £80 per night net (but, again, pay is agreed between parent and nanny).

Maternity nurses

At Angels Nannies and Babysitters, all maternity staff have at least 10 years' experience or are mothers themselves.

It is a very important time in someone's life when they have a newborn, both emotionally and physically, and at Angels Nannies and Babysitters, we feel that the best possible person to understand exactly how Mum feels is another mother.

Our maternity team will accompany mothers-to-be on hospital visits, they can be present at the birth, waiting at the birthplace, or can be ready when Mum returns from hospital.

A maternity nurse can be on hand during the day/night/weekend, and this can be daily or residential for however long they are needed. Maternity nurses would be expected to follow whichever routine you as parents would want to be put in place, or they can advise on and put in place a routine that they think suits the family best should you so wish. They will give advice and help with breastfeeding, expressing milk and preventing various health issues associated with breastfeeding, and also advise on bottle-feeding.

Maternity nurses are responsible for the sterilising of all feeding equipment, making up feeds, keeping your baby's nursery clean and tidy, doing all your baby's laundry, and keeping the crib/moses basket clean and tidy ensuring all bed linen is washed and ironed. They will also run any errands in connection with your newborn.

But, most importantly, your maternity nurse will be with you not to take over from your very special time, but to give you support, friendship, advice and a good listening ear to each and every member of your family.

Maternity nurses are self-employed and charge approximately £650 per week for live-in or £120 per day for live out.

Childcare consultants

Our childcare consultants are nannies with over 10 years' solid sole charge nannying experience or have childcare qualifications, and they will visit your home to discuss and help put in place solutions to any worries or problems you may be experiencing. Examples of your concerns may be baby sleep patterns, colic, weaning difficulties, eating/food worries, poor sleep patterns, behaviour problems, bath time tantrums, sibling problems etc.

Our consultants charge £50 per hour and will either advise you on your home visit or help you put words into actions on a follow-up visit. These visits can be one-off or can be ongoing for as long as you need.
