Babysitting from professional nannies

We help families find babysitters, but we call it NannySitting as we will link you up with childcare professtionals looking for ad hoc roles.

NannySitting is also helpful for finding emergency nannies, holiday and hotel nannies (for families travelling in the UK) and temporary nannies.

Start a NannySitting search and make local matches in minutes.

Babysitting from nannies = NannySitting

NannySitting is a where our nannies make themselves available for ad hoc childcare or babysitting.  They may be inbetween nannying roles or just happy to secure some extra, flexible hours.

If you already have an Army of Nannies account, you just need to activate NannySitting from your Dashboard and create a search request.

Connecting families to local NannySitters™

Create your bespoke NannySitter™ search

Like our nanny-finding services, families create a NannySitting search request. It takes about two minutes.

Nannies with profiles need to flick a switch on their dashboard to show they are available for NannySitting opportunities.

Shortlist the profiles of interest

We then instantly show the best local childcare matches. Families and NannySitters™ then invite connections.

Once an invite is accepted – and if the family has a member status – both parties can contact each other directly.

Appoint your favourite NannySitters™

When connected, conduct interviews and then book the NannySitter™ directly.

Over time, you’ll create a network of local childcarers you can call on directly. And if they’re not free, start a new search to top up your local network.

What does it cost to search? 

It’s free for nannies and families to search on the site.

Families only have to make a payment when they want to secure the contact details of jointly approved NannySitter™.  Prices start from as little as £6.

Once you have the contact details of a NannySitter™, they are yours for keeps.

How do I pay my babysitter / NannySitter™? 

Directly.  When finalising the appointment, you will have agreed on the time of the sitting and the level of pay with the NannySitter™.

At this point, you should also agree on how the direct payment is to be made.

Your search is important to us

We’re very proud of our 5-star Google reviews.  And here’s a testimonial from Family Charley:

‘I started my search and quickly secured a number of local connections to call on when needed.  It’s quick, easy to use and you get a lot of profiles to choose from.  Thank you Army of Nannies 😀’

Travelling to the UK?
If you’re travelling to the UK, our NannySitting™ service (babysitting from professional nannies) will help you find local, professional nannies willing to take on temporary nanny jobs.

It can be just babysitting for the evening or extended holiday nanny support throughout your stay in the UK.

You need only a postcode from the area where you hope to stay, and we can then find you local connections to professional nannies willing to take on ad hoc / temporary nanny roles.

Emergency nanny / Temporary nanny cover

Our NannySitter™ service (babysitting from professional nannies) will quickly help you find local, professional child carers between roles or looking for extra hours.

If you boost your post, we can broadcast it across our social channels to help you connect with local nannies open to temporary nanny roles.

Safety first

Our platform introduces you to nannies on our site.  You’ll be able to view and approve their full nanny profiles.   The majority of nannies on our site are looking for full & part-time positions, so they share a wealth of information.

Before making a babysitting / NannySitting appointment, we strongly recommend you check and view all documentation.

To support that, we have created a checklist we ask you to follow to ensure the highest level of safeguarding.
