Forbes Nannies | British Nannies

When considering a British Nanny for your family, there are several key factors to keep in mind.

Our British Nannies typically come with a wealth of experience, having dedicated themselves to a career in childcare since leaving school. They view nannyhood as a full-time profession, often earning higher salaries as a result of their extensive expertise.

While we do occasionally welcome entry or mid-level British Nannies to our ranks, we ensure they are matched with families whose budgets align. For families seeking travel companions, our British Nannies are well-suited, and compensation is typically discussed, including a ‘holiday rate’ for those occasions when nannies work around the clock during trips.

The diversity of accents among British Nannies, ranging from English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish, to those with global influences, can play a significant role in a child’s development. Many families are open to various accents, but it’s worth noting that Received Pronunciation (RP) is often considered a neutral accent in the United Kingdom. So, whether you’re seeking seasoned expertise, travel readiness, or a specific accent, our British Nannies offer a range of options to meet your family’s needs.
