A rota shaped around your household
Rota care usually involves two nannies alternating blocks of time, such as one or two weeks on and off. The right pattern depends on your children, where you live and any travel between homes. We discuss the actual working schedule, overnight responsibilities and handovers before approaching candidates.
We recruit for established rota positions as well as families considering this arrangement for the first time. If you already have one nanny in place, we take their responsibilities and approach into account when looking for the person joining them.
The experience that matters
A successful rota nanny needs more than flexibility. We look at their experience with children of the relevant ages, their judgement when working independently and their ability to communicate well with parents and the other nanny.
Your brief may call for baby care, educational activities, supporting school-age children, an additional language or experience travelling with families. We consider these alongside the practical realities of the role, including time away from the nanny’s own home and working within a wider household team.
A focused search and a considered shortlist
Tania’s background as a professional nanny and private household recruiter informs how we assess each brief. We get to know your priorities, search our network and approach suitable professionals where needed. We introduce a small, relevant shortlist and explain each candidate’s experience and the status of their checks.
We can coordinate interviews and paid trials, discuss feedback and support the offer process. Read how our recruitment process works or browse a selection of our nannies.
Questions to settle before the search
What should the role include?
Agree the rotation, working and rest periods, children’s routines, travel expectations, accommodation and arrangements for handovers. Clear responsibilities help us identify candidates who are comfortable with the role you are offering.
How is a rota nanny’s salary agreed?
The package reflects the full role, including experience, location, responsibilities and schedule. We discuss a realistic budget with you before the search. See our nanny salary guide for background, and our rota guide for international families for more detail.
