Nanny GPS: Advertising your job

If you are looking for domestic setting childcare where someone looks after your child/children in your own home, we can help you. Before advertising your childcare job it's worth taking some time to work out your priorities. For example, are you clear on whether you want an Au Pair or a Nanny? Read our Childcare Options to find out the different services offered by these childcare providers.

What type of person are you looking for? What type of childcare partner will fit into your home? Are you looking for a young and enthusiastic Au Pair or an older Nanny with more life experience? Do you want an Au Pair to live in or a Nanny to live out? Do you want an Au Pair to teach your children language skills? For our family, we've always gone for native Spanish speaking Au Pairs as an important factor for us is providing our children with some daily exposure to Spanish.

The more specific you are about what skills your childcarer must have, the easier it will be for you to find the ideal childcarer for your family. For example, do they need to drive the children to and from school? Are they required to have first aid training? What cultural back ground is important to you?

Our online free job advertiser prompts you to consider many key questions about your childcare job. Your family profile also allows you to add in free descriptive text. This is your opportunity to describe your family, the type of childcarer you are looking for and some specific details around your childcare job. The more specific information you provide at this stage will help you narrow down potential candidates to fill your childcare position.
