Read more about Wimbledon Common Preparatory SchoolA nanny is an experienced professional who provides continuous childcare, while a babysitter usually provides short-term or casual care for children.While both supervise and care for children when parents are away, a nanny is a regular and daily job. Nannies often take on household tasks and are involved in the children's lives. On the other hand, babysitters are temporary caregivers who are typically hired to watch the children for a set period.
Typically, full time nannies work 10-12 hour days, Mon-Fri. Most roles are between 8am and 7pm but some can go beyond these times. It used to be common for nannies to work 60+ hours per week, but this trend is declining.Live-in nannies generally work between 10 and 12 hours per day, five days a week. Most families will also expect two nights babysitting as part of the package. A live-in nanny may work a 24-hour shift or five-six day shifts for a higher salary.
Part- time nannies offer a flexible option to local childminders. While a childminder looks after children at their own residence – nannies work in your home. A nanny only looks after your kids — so they can follow your family's schedule and provide much more flexibility compared to childminders.Nannies typically have an employment arrangement with the parents entitling them to benefits such as annual holiday, maternity leave, and all other employment benefits. A childminder looks after children in their own setting and are compensated for caring for multiple children simultaneously.
A childminder offers childcare services to children in their own home for more than two hours each day. In England, childminders are required to be registered with Ofsted. Operating as independent entrepreneurs, childminders manage a small business from their home, caring for children from multiple families. To become registered with Ofsted, childminders must be at least 18 years old and provide childcare in their own residence for more than two hours daily, in exchange for payment.There are certain exceptions when Ofsted registration is not required, which are set out in this factsheet from Ofsted.
A childminder is permitted to care for a maximum of six children under the age of 8 at any given time. Of these six children, a maximum of three may be young children and only one child can be under the age of one. (A child is considered a young child until September 1st following their 5th birthday). Additionally, this maximum count includes the childminder's own children if they are under the age of eight.
As childminders do not have the same overhead costs as day nurseries, they often offer more affordable childcare options. Additionally, parents can benefit from tax-free childcare vouchers and Universal Credit, along with funded hours for early years children, to help reduce their childcare expenses.
