Choosing the right form of childcare is one of the most difficult decisions a parent faces. For working parents, finding an option that is safe, reliable, affordable and that fits their schedule are top priorities. Nannies on Demand are here to assist you in discussing and finding the right childcare option that is more suited to your family's needs.
Below we have defined the main sources of childcare supplied by us. If you require further assistance in determining the best childcare option for your family please contact us.
Nanny
A Nanny is generally a qualified child carer who provides care in your own home on a live-in or live-out basis on a permanent, fixed term or temporary basis. Care can even be provided during school holidays. Nannies provide a safe, & stimulating environment in which the child/ren in her care can learn, develop and grow safely.
Temporary Nanny
A Temporary Nanny assists when you require someone to stand in and care for your children on a short term basis. This type of service may be suited to those who are required to go away on business, want a weekend away without the children or when your current Nanny or Au Pair are sick or are taking leave.
Maternity Nanny/Nurse
A Maternity Nanny specialises in the care of newborn babies and is either a very highly trained and experienced Maternity Nanny, Nurse, or Midwife. Their role is to establish a routine for baby and to assist with infant maternity care, support and guidance with infant feeding (breast or bottle), multiple babycare, baby massage and post natal depression support. A Maternity Nanny usually joins your family immediately after the birth of your baby. Our Maternity professionals are self employed therefore they work on a free lance basis. Length of care is flexible and packages can be tailored to your requirements.
Night Nanny
A Night Nanny will care for your baby’s needs throughout the night, so that you can get a good night’s rest. The Night Nanny will typically stay in the baby's room and manage the infant’s care throughout the night. When your baby wakes up she will feed, burp, change and settle your baby back to sleep. A night nanny can also assist you in gradually eliminating one feed after another, until your baby is sleeping peacefully throughout the night. Length of care is flexible and based on the family’s needs.
Wedding Nanny
Whether you are attending or planning a wedding, a Wedding Nanny can assist you and your guests with your childcare requirements on or off-site. It provides you with the opportunity of having your children with you, while being able to relax and enjoy a truly magical day.
Nanny Share
A Nanny Share is a popular childcare alternative. The care is provided by a childcare professional who comes to your home where the children are looked after in a home environment. The benefit in a Nanny share is a reduction in cost. Not only can both families share the cost of the placement fee but your childcare costs are also shared since the childcare professional will have two families with which to communicate.
After-School Nanny
An After-School Nanny provides care for your child/children after school, often picking them up from school. Duties related to her role may include but are not limited to: assisting with homework, transporting to and from after school activities, cooking the evening meal, and may sometimes include light housework. We also provide Au Pairs who can live in and assist for a minimum of 20 hours per week, which is proving popular for those families requiring before and/or after school care.
Au Pair
An Au Pair will typically be a young woman and sometimes a young man from a foreign country who will live in with the family and take care of their children as well as undertaking light housework. An Au Pair has no formal training or qualifications, only previous babysitting or childcare experience.

If not, they are parents/grandparents themselves or, are working towards a qualification in childcare or a field similar to childcare. An Evening Babysitter requires a minimum of 3 hours work per booking.
