FAQS & HELP
Some answers to frequent questions about childcare, the differences between roles and what to expect.
QUESTIONS AROUND BABYSITTING
I'VE NEVER LEFT MY CHILDREN BEFORE, WILL THEY BE OK?
Most babysitters have dealt with this scenario on more than one occasion and are used to helping a child adjust to a new face. We are happy on the first few times to assist with bedtime alongside parents if this makes the child more comfortable.
CAN WE MEET YOU BEFOREHAND?
Yes. Most Babysitters are more than happy to meet you and your family beforehand if time allows. If a suitable time cant be arranged most are willing to video chat or take a call from you!
HOW MUCH DOES A BABYSITTER COST?
Starting from £10-12 per hour.
WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR A BABYSITTER WITH YOUR EXPERIENCE?
There are cheaper forms of babysitting, which you may consider for your family but you 'get what you pay for' as such. The reason it is more expensive to hire a professional is the years worth of experience they have. An experienced childcare provider knows how to deal with an emergency situation and respond accordingly.
CAN YOU PUT THEM TO BED?
Yes, we are more than happy to help put children to bed and follow a normal bedtime routine, that you as parents would carry out. If your child is anxious we can help alongside parents for the first few times.
QUESTIONS AROUND NANNYING
WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF CHILDREN YOU CAN TAKE CARE OF AT ONCE?
The maximum number of children a Nanny can look after at any one time is 5. However, this is dependant on their ages. Any more than 5 children would require an additional Nanny.
WHERE DOES A NANNY WORK FROM?
A Nanny works on a one to one basis from your home, or in instances of event nannying, from your chosen location.
