If you are considering getting some help with childcare from a nanny in North London, for whatever reason, and are actively looking for a nanny in North London, then there are several things to consider - remember these pointers before you start drawing up adverts for a nanny in North London or before you contact a nanny agency in London or an au pair agency in London as it can save time and money in the long run to be prepared.

One of the first things you need to identify is whether you need a nanny in North London from a nanny agency in London or an au pair from an au pair agency in London.

To put it simply, nannies from a nanny agency London are qualified and experienced in childcare and will be expected to have sole responsibility of the child or children. Being a nanny with a nanny agency in London is a job in the same way that being a nurse or carpenter is; this means that a professional wage is expected, as are regular working hours and all the rights that come with being an employee.

Au Pair Agency London

Au pairs from an au pair agency in London are young people from other countries who are visiting the UK to learn the language and culture. They may or may not have any experience with children. They should have a genuine interest in children however and be able to communicate with at least some English. Au pairs from an au pair agency in London are not to be given sole responsibility of children and are paid in room, board and pocket money. Their working week will be less than a nanny's and expectations should be more fluid.

Many families simply don't know where to start when looking for nannies in London. It's a fact of life that childcare is one area where you can't necessarily rely on word of mouth for help - as unless their needs change, people won't let go of good help for anything!

However, these adverts for nannies in London or au pairs in London are unregulated and few parents would be happy to ignore regulations when it comes to the safety and well-being of their children.
