Filipino Nanny Services in the UK

Our Filipino nannies typically hold university degrees, often in education, child development, or related fields. Many have completed formal childcare training programs and hold certifications in first aid and CPR. We verify all educational credentials and require substantial professional childcare experience. Some of our nannies also have specialized training in areas like special needs care, infant development, or early childhood education. During the matching process, we’ll share the specific qualifications of candidates who fit your family’s needs.

We verify that all candidates have the right to work and stay in the UK as part of our initial screening. For references, we actually recommend that families
conduct these checks themselves, as it gives you direct insight into the candidate’s previous work and allows you to ask questions most relevant to your situation. However, if you’d prefer us to handle reference checks, we’re happy to do so. We also carry out a DBS check on your chosen candidate if they don’t already have one, ensuring complete peace of mind before they join your family

Filipino nannies generally have good English skills, as English is widely used in the Philippines for education and professional settings. We assess
communication abilities as part of our screening process to ensure candidates can effectively interact with both parents and children. This makes daily
communication, understanding instructions, and helping with children’s activities much smoother than with caregivers who may have language barriers.

For live-in arrangements, you’ll need to provide a private bedroom with adequate storage, access to a bathroom (shared is acceptable), and kitchen privileges. The room should have proper heating, lighting, and ventilation. Many families find that converting a spare bedroom or creating space in a basement or attic works well. We can provide specific guidance on accommodation standards during your consultation and help ensure the setup meets both legal requirements and comfort expectations.

Our Filipino nannies are happy to work 10-12 hour days as long as they receive proper breaks throughout the day. For live-in positions, this typically covers Monday to Friday (£550-650 net per week) or Monday to Saturday (£650-800 net per week). The schedule usually includes morning and evening routines, school pickups, and flexibility for your family’s needs. Duties generally focus on child-related tasks: meal preparation for children, children’s laundry, playroom organization, and educational activities. We clearly define expectations in the employment contract to avoid any confusion about responsibilities.

Filipino culture places strong emphasis on respect, family harmony, and adaptability, which helps nannies integrate well into British households. Most are familiar with Western customs and are eager to learn about your family’s specific traditions and preferences. We provide support as part of our service, and many families find that Filipino nannies bring positive cultural elements to their homes, such as storytelling traditions, respect for elders, and strong work ethics. The adjustment period is typically smooth, with most families reporting excellent integration within the first month.

As an employer, you’ll need to register with HMRC, arrange appropriate visa sponsorship if required, provide a written contract, and ensure proper insurance coverage. You’re responsible for paying National Insurance contributions and providing statutory benefits like holiday pay. The salaries we quote (£550-650 for Mon-Fri live-in, £650-800 for Mon-Sat live-in, or £15-18 per hour live-out) are net amounts, so you’ll need to account for employer contributions on top of these figures. We guide you through each step of this process and can recommend employment law specialists if needed.

We offer a guarantee period during which we’ll work with you to address any concerns and find solutions. Our experience shows that the majority of placements work out long-term, especially when families take advantage of the trial period to ensure compatibility. We maintain ongoing communication during the first few months to address any concerns early and help ensure success. If issues arise, we’re committed to working with you to find the right resolution.

Yes, we provide active support throughout the initial period, including guidance on any adjustment issues and assistance with contract or duty modifications if needed. We remain available for consultation and can help with annual reviews, contract renewals, or any challenges that arise. Many of our families maintain relationships with us for years as their childcare needs evolve. We also have a large community of Filipino nannies across the UK, which provides additional support and networking opportunities.

Our matching process considers multiple factors beyond basic qualifications. We look at family lifestyle, children’s personalities and ages, specific care
requirements, household routines, and cultural preferences. We conduct detailed interviews to understand expectations, communication styles, and personal values. We can present candidates very quickly—sometimes within days—and most families interview several carefully pre-screened candidates before making their final decision. We also encourage trial periods to ensure the match feels right for everyone.

Yes. Many Filipino nannies have educational backgrounds and naturally incorporate learning into daily activities. They often help with homework, reading with children, and creating educational games and activities. The cultural emphasis on education means they typically encourage academic achievement and can provide support in areas like reading, basic math, and study habits. If your children have specific educational needs, we can match you with nannies who have relevant experience or training.

Filipino nannies are generally very adaptable to different dietary requirements and cultural practices. Many are experienced in preparing various cuisines and can easily accommodate vegetarian, halal, kosher, or allergy-specific diets. We discuss any special requirements during the matching process to ensure compatibility. Filipino culture’s emphasis on hospitality and service means most nannies are eager to learn about and respect your family’s specific preferences and traditions.

Once we’ve identified suitable candidates, we arrange interviews for you to meet them and assess compatibility. This is your opportunity to discuss your expectations, daily routines, childcare philosophy, and any specific requirements. We recommend conducting reference checks yourself during this stage, as it allows you to ask questions most relevant to your family. After selecting your preferred candidate, we arrange a trial period where they work with your family before making a final commitment. This hands-on experience is invaluable for ensuring the right fit.

Yes! While we recommend allowing 2 months for the complete process (including notice periods and thorough vetting), we can present qualified candidates within days if you have urgent childcare needs. We maintain a large community of experienced Filipino nannies across the UK who are actively seeking positions, many of whom have the right to work and are immediately available. The speed of placement depends on your specific requirements and the candidate’s availability, but we’re equipped to move quickly when families need us to.
