Wimbledon Nannies - For Nannies

Wimbledon Nannies always seeks to find the most suitable job for nannies; we never put any pressure on you to take a job you are not sure about; you will never be required to pay us any fee. Whether or not you are registered with us, if you have a query or need advice feel free to email or call us
on 020 8947 4666

For nannies new to the area, we can offer a nanny contact list and details of local activities and amenities. For some nannies it may the first time away from home and finding friends can be extremely important in helping them settle into a new job. Once a nanny has commenced employment we can introduce them to other nannies in the area.

Qualifications

Some applicants become nannies purely by gaining experience (we require sole charge nannies to have a minimum of 2 years experience) rather than qualifications: however, if you wish to find out more about obtaining relevant qualifications click here or contact your local college, which should be able to give you advice on the differing childcare courses available in your area.

Newly Qualified Nannies

If you are a newly qualified nanny you might find a job quickly as some clients look for newly qualified nannies, however, if you find it more difficult we recommend that you accept a mother's help position in the first instance, in order to gain some experience working in a family environment; such experience can make it easier for you to secure a sole charge nanny position as your second position.

We are always available to offer any advice needed by the Client or the Nanny, particularly during the initial settling in stage. Once an applicant has begun employment, we are always on the other end of the phone to ensure that both parties are settling in well.

Registering

Once you have contacted us we will ask you to come into the office: all applicants are personally interviewed, their identity established, and their own requirements discussed in detail to make sure we put the right applicants forward for a given position, thereby ensuring a more suitable match between applicant and potential employer.

You will need to bring the following with you:

At least 2-3 references, one of which should include your most recent employer, where possible
Original certificates (if applicable)
CV
Work permit (if applicable)
ID, passport, driving licence [if you hold the new photo licence please also bring your counterpart driving licence with you], birth certificate, marriage certificate [if applicable])
Passport photograph

We will need to see at least 2 forms of ID at all times and, if you are married, your marriage certificate as well. We would also ask you to try and obtain a police check either before or after attending an interview with us. We require all our nannies to attend a personal interview.

What happens now?

During your interview with us we will discuss your requirements in detail to ensure that your needs are met as much as possible when putting your details forward for potential new positions. Thereafter, we will verify your references in writing or verbally and compile a profile and, if necessary, a CV for you, which will be forwarded to clients whose vacancies correspond to your requirements.

How are the interviews with prospective employers arranged?

Once you express an interest in a vacancy and the client indicates the wish to progress to interviewing potential candidates we give you the client's telephone number so that you may telephone them directly. Occasionally, clients might ring you directly, but only once you have been informed of that. When attending for interviews we ask you to bring along your portfolio, including your own references. We will advise you on how to conduct the interviews.

What will happen once the interview has taken place?

Contact us after each interview so that we can discuss each position with you and give you some feed back. We ask you to keep in close contact with us throughout your search for a suitable position, in order to ensure that we can inform you of suitable vacancies as they come in.

Any job offer and acceptance may be made either at initial interview, second interview or after discussion with Wimbledon Nannies. If you are unsuccessful at your first interview we continue to send your details to prospective new employers until you secure a new position.

If you accept a position offered to you please contact us and Wimbledon Nannies will write to you confirming the job offer stating your salary and agreed start date. A contract will be sent to the prospective employer for completion between yourself and your future employer. We encourage you to join our Nanny Contact List and keep us informed of how your new job is progressing.
