If you are thinking about starting a career in childcare or if you are already a nanny seeking employment, we will be able to help you find a position suited to your experience and requirements.

We mainly specialise in placing nannies in the UK and in France. We recruit either French speaking nannies looking to work within families in the UK or English speaking nannies wishing to be placed in France.

In order for you to register with the agency you must pass a criminal records check, have a valid first aid certificate, at least 2 references from previous employers as well as a recognised qualification in childcare (for example the level 3 Diploma in Child Care and Education or a NVQ Level 3 in Early Years Care and Education).

Nannies who do not have a qualification, must have a minimum of 2 years experience in childcare. Please note that even though there are no legal requirements for nannies to have any training or qualifications, caring for children is a skilled and demanding job, appropriate qualifications provide you with the skills and confidence to do the job effectively and professionally.

We will also need to see some form of identification such as a passport or a photo-driving licence.

All nannies registering with Bilingual Nanny will be interviewed.

Your primary duties are directly related to the children. This involves taking care of the children’s day-to-day needs in the children’s own home. The exact duties will depend on the ages and individual needs of the children, as well as the specific requirements of the family. Both the family and yourself should be clear about the precise duties expected. These duties should be formalized in a written contract.

As a nanny, you will be also responsible for identifying and meeting the child’s social, intellectual and emotional needs.

As a live-in nanny, your responsibilities and qualifications would be the same as a daily nanny.
