We supply permanent and temporary nannies on a full time, part time, or live in basis. We are well known in the industry for our stringent selection process and we will only promote candidates we believe have sound childcare ability and who will represent our company well.
We always strive to find candidates who have qualifications and/or age relevant experience for your children. As a general guide our minimum requirements are:
Nanny: Our sole charge nannies are candidates who are qualified in childcare and/or have long term experience working as a nanny (at least 3 years if part time experience or 2 years if full time experience). We also work with qualified teachers and nurses. We urge all of our nannies to have a recent first aid certificate.
Shared Charge Nanny: Our shared charge nannies will have a lower level of experience as they are generally working alongside a parent. Good candidates for shared charge roles include the newly qualified nanny and candidates with childcare centre/nursery or teacher aide experience.
Maternity Nurse: Maternity Nurses are trained or experienced nurses or nannies who specialise in the care of newborn babies. A Maternity Nurse will help the mother from the time she leaves hospital until both mother and baby are settled into a routine at home. This is normally a period of between 4-8 weeks; however the amount of time you wish to book a Maternity Nurse is totally flexible and will depend on individual circumstances.
Babysitter: Babysitters care for children in the evenings from 6.30pm onwards. Our babysitters will range in age and experience; some will be qualified nannies looking for extra work and some will be students who are able to pick up regular evening work.
All candidates are required to have contactable childcare references and we complete 2 – 4 verbal references on each candidate when they register. When a candidate interviews with KiwiOz they are required to complete a NZ Police Check.
