For many parents, securing a primary school placement may offer relief, but it can also bring new challenges, particularly if the assigned school is farther than expected. Fitting school pick-ups into a tight schedule can be a difficult adjustment. An after-school nanny could be the solution, especially for those in London. Koru Kids, an innovative childcare service, shares five key tips on selecting the right after-school nanny.
Finding a nanny within close proximity to your area provides dependable support for school pick-ups and local activities. At Koru Kids, our after-school nannies are always within thirty minutes of your child’s school and home, ensuring punctual pick-ups.
It’s valuable to understand your nanny’s hobbies, as their interests can introduce your child to new skills. Koru Kids carefully vets nannies, often hiring university students or experienced parents. Many children under their care have picked up art skills, learned instruments, participated in sports, or even gained a new language.
School days, after-school programs, and long commutes can be tiring for children. Allowing them to return home immediately after school helps reduce fatigue. Rather than rigidly planning daily activities, it’s beneficial to let your child and their nanny decide on activities based on energy levels and preferences.
Be upfront with your after-school nanny about your after-school priorities, whether it’s playtime, meal preparation, or homework help. Equipped with recipes for healthy meals and a structured approach to homework, Koru Kids nannies can ease your evenings, giving you quality time with your children.
Modern family schedules don’t always align with traditional work hours, and flexible childcare is often needed. Clearly communicate your schedule to ensure it aligns with the nanny’s availability. Families inform us of non-negotiable after-school days, and we ensure a tailored match with a nanny whose schedule complements theirs.
