Why Join Nannvo

A better way to find nanny work

We take the stress out of finding families so you can focus on what you love — caring for children.

📅

Flexible placements

Choose from full-time, part-time, live-in, or after-school roles. We match you with families whose schedule genuinely fits yours.

💵

Fair pay rates

We advocate for competitive salaries that reflect your experience and qualifications. All rates are clearly stated upfront — no surprises.

👥

Trusted families only

Every family is thoroughly vetted before being connected with our nannies. You'll only meet households we'd be confident placing our own children with.

🌎

UK-wide opportunities

Find work in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow and beyond. Our network is growing every week.

🤡

Ongoing support

We're here after placement too. If something isn't working, we'll help you navigate it — from contract questions to finding a new placement.

🎓

Professional development

Access guidance on first aid, childcare best practices, and continued professional development to grow your career over time.

What We Look For

Requirements & our vetting process

We maintain high standards to ensure every family gets the very best care. Here's what you'll need to join.

1
Childcare experience

Minimum 1–2 years of verifiable professional childcare experience — as a nanny, nursery worker, au pair, or similar role.

2
Enhanced DBS or PVG

A current Enhanced DBS certificate is required for England and Wales. Scottish applicants must hold a valid PVG Scheme membership.

3
Professional references

Two professional references who can speak to your childcare experience. We contact references personally — not just by email.

4
Right to work in the UK

You must have legal right to work in the UK. We verify identity documents (passport or biometric residence permit) during the vetting process.

5
Paediatric First Aid (preferred)

A current Paediatric First Aid certificate is not always mandatory but is strongly preferred and will significantly improve your chances of placement.

From Our Nannies

What our nannies say about working with Nannvo

★★★★★

Nannvo made the whole process so simple. Within two weeks of applying I had been matched with a lovely family in north London. The vetting process felt professional and fair, and I've been with the same family for over a year now.

★★★★★

I was new to Manchester and worried about finding good families. Nannvo matched me with a part time family within my first week. They explained everything clearly and checked in with me regularly after I started. I really felt supported.

★★★★★

As an experienced nanny I've tried other agencies but Nannvo was genuinely different. They only sent me families that were a proper fit for my preferences. No time-wasting. And there's zero registration fee which is a breath of fresh air.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before applying.

We ask for a minimum of 1–2 years of professional childcare experience. This can include previous nanny roles, nursery work, or au pair positions. Relevant childcare qualifications (e.g. CACHE, NNEB, Level 3 Childcare) are a bonus but not always essential.

Yes. You must hold a current Enhanced DBS certificate (or PVG Scheme record if based in Scotland) before being placed with a family. If your existing DBS is more than 3 years old, we will ask you to apply for an updated one. If you don't have one yet, you can apply online — the process typically takes 2–4 weeks.

There is no fee for nannies to register with Nannvo. We are a family-side fee agency only. You simply apply, complete the vetting process, and we do the hard work of finding the right family match for you — completely free of charge.

Once your application and vetting are complete, placements can happen within days to a few weeks depending on your availability, location, and the types of roles you're looking for. High-demand areas like London and Manchester often have faster turnaround times.

Yes. If you're open to relocating or looking for a live-in role in a different city, we can search our national family database across all the locations we operate. Just let us know your preferences in your application.
