Why Nanny Poppins

You're joining a family,
not just a team

We built Nanny Poppins on a simple belief: when nannies feel supported, children thrive. Here's what that looks like in practice.

The right match

We take the time to understand who you are, how you work, and what kind of family you'll flourish with. We don't just fill positions — we build relationships.

Ongoing development

At least two professional workshops every month, covering everything from paediatric first aid to child development and wellbeing. Your growth matters to us.

Real support, always

We stay with you long after placement day. If you need advice, have a concern, or simply need someone in your corner, we're here. That's our promise.

How It Works

Your journey with Nanny Poppins

From your first application to settling into your placement — here's what to expect when you work with us.

1
Fill out your nanny application

Tell us about your experience, your qualifications, the kind of families you work best with, and what you're looking for in your next position. The more you share, the better we can match you.

2
Schedule your interview with us

We meet every nanny personally — this isn't a tick-box exercise. We want to understand your personality, your approach to childcare, and your goals so we can find you a family you'll genuinely love working with.

3
Complete your profile

Once we've met, we'll help you put together a professional profile that showcases your strengths, your experience, and what makes you stand out. This is what families see when they're introduced to you.

4
We find the right families for you

We work with you — not just for you. We'll discuss potential families, share their details, and make sure you're genuinely excited before we take anything further. You have a say in every step.

5
Family interviews & introductions

We coordinate and schedule interviews with the families you're interested in, and we prepare you for each one. We're in your corner throughout the whole process.

6
Placement & ongoing support

Once you're placed, we don't disappear. We stay connected, check in regularly, and are always available if you need us. You're part of the Nanny Poppins family now — and that doesn't change.
