​We currently have more than 12 000 registered users and approximately 5000 active CVs online, and both our nanny community and our website’s traffic keep growing steadily.

We do our best to ensure that you will not receive unsuitable applications.

Alternatively, you can view the applications you received via your “recruiter” dashboard.

You can see the number of applications you received in the column “Applications”. Clicking the number (when there are applications) will reveal the application list.

How to receive high quality applications ?

​To attract the best candidates, give as many details as possible in your job description and make sure your job offer is competitive enough.

Also, do not wait until the last minute to start your search. Anticipate your needs, and start looking for candidates early enough.

How long does it take to find the right candidate ?

​It can take less than a week, but it can also take several months.

The most competitive jobs & the jobs based near major cities are usually filled quickly. It usually takes longer to fill jobs located in remote cities or jobs with specific requirements.

We recommend that you start your search 1 to 3 months in advance.

How many applications will I receive ?

​Jobs for Nannies cannot guarantee if you will get any application or how many applications you will get.

The most competitive and appealing job offers will receive a higher volume of applications.

I have received one or more application(s), what happens next ?

​If you have received any application via Jobs for Nannies, you can then communicate directly with the candidate(s).

Ask the candidate(s) to send you their CV and decide whether or not you want to interview them.

Also, make sure the candidates’ certificates, police check and references (if any) are available.

I have found a suitable candidate, what should I do now ?

If you have found a suitable candidate via Jobs for Nannies, we strongly recommend the following :

  • arrange a video or face to face interview, followed by a short trial to make sure you are a good match
  • most importantly, proceed to a thorough check of references, police check and certificates

​When you are comfortable with the candidate and would like to offer them the position, then establish a contract. Once the successful candidate has signed to accept the contract, they will then be directly employed by your family.

What should I do if I haven’t received any applications ?

Unfortunately, it can happen.

If you haven’t received any application, you might want to edit your job and change some of your requirements.

You might also want to post again your job ad. As previously mentioned, it sometimes takes quite some time to find the right candidate…

Also, since the COVID-19 pandemic, the childcare sector is facing a staffing crisis : the pandemic has worsened the shortage of nannies and the number of job vacancies has more than doubled, pushing up rates for nannying. If you haven’t received any application, you might also need to offer a higher salary and / or offer more benefits.

Can I get a refund if I haven’t found a suitable candidate, or if I haven’t received any applications via Jobs for Nannies ?

​No, as per our Terms & Conditions, no refunds will be issued.

Is it possible to search for applicants in the Candidate Pool even if I am not advertising any job on Jobs for Nannies ?

Yes, absolutely.

Once your account has been verified (within 24 hours), you can start using our candidate database. If you do not have a professional email address, please, contact us.

What are my responsibilities as an employer ?

Interview and trial

If the Family wishes to arrange a face to face interview and/or a trial period, then the Family must cover all business expenses.

During trial periods, Candidates must be paid at an agreed rate.

Contract

​Nannies are employees of the family for whom they work. For this reason, parents who employ a nanny must take the steps necessary to establish themselves as legitimate employers.

The Family should provide the Candidate the Contract of Employment, where all duties, rights, obligations and conditions are clearly stated. All terms and conditions of the contract are regulated between the Candidate and the Family.

For all temporary positions (less than 3 months) and for all Maternity Nurse / Newborn Care Specialist positions, the Candidates status can be that of a self employed person.

Candidates can be independent contractors and bill their services to the families. In that case, Candidates should provide their Terms and Conditions to the Family.​

Flights, Visas and work related expenses

For overseas positions : the family employer is responsible for providing the initial flight over to the country of the family home at the commencement of the employment along with the return flight back to the employee’s home country at the end of the employment contract. The employer will also usually provide one return flight home per year for the employee to take their annual leave.

The employer is also responsible for obtaining the appropriate work visa for their new employee. This includes insuring that all related costs are covered.

Taxes and health insurance

If the Nanny is working on a self employed basis, it is their responsibility to pay their social contributions. Otherwise, the employer is responsible for paying the employee’s social contributions.

Accommodation & Food

If the position is ” Live in “ :

– A private and separate bedroom must be provided. The bedroom must be clean and of a good condition. It is also recommended you supply the candidate with a separate bathroom and access to the internet.

​- The employee’s food has to be provided and paid for by the employer. The employer should provide 3 square meals a day.

Travel times with the family

If you require the Nanny to travel, all travels related expenses (flights, accommodation, food etc…) must be covered by the family. Appropriate visas and travel/health insurance should also be provided by the family.

If the Nanny is required to work overtime during family travels time, then she should be paid overtime at an agreed hourly rate or rewarded time off in lieu to be taken at an agreed time.

Schedule & Salary Guide

This “Schedule and Salary Guide” is given for information purposes only. You are not obliged to follow our recommendations, however respecting them will allow you to receive more and better quality applications.

Schedule

 

Full time Nannies usually work 40 – 50 hours per week over 5 days.

Some Nannies may agree to work up to 60 hours per week or to work 6 days per week if their wages reflect that.

However, if you require more than 50 hours per week, or more than 5 days per week, we recommend that you hire 2 nannies (1 Full time + 1 part time), as this is a much more attractive arrangement

If you require 24 hour care : in such cases we always recommend having two rotating nannies doing shift work (3 days on/3 days off, 2 weeks on/2 weeks off…)
