2016 KiwiOz Nanny of the Year AwardsThursday the 23th of November 2016 in Auckland.
Recognizing our nannies commitment, passion and professionalism is very important to us as an agency. Each nanny was nominated by their employer (family they work for). For the past 3 years, we have been acknowledging the nominated nannies during a great event. |

KiwiOz Nannies is providing families a chance to let their nanny know how much they are appreciated and how much of a difference they are making to their children’s lives as well as their own. Nominations for next year will be open in 2017, but do let us know if you would like to learn more about the awards and nominating your nanny by filling the form at the bottom of the page.
