How It Works at Athlete Mannies & Nannies

We make hiring a nanny simple, structured and fully supported from start to finish.

How does the hiring process begin?

It starts with an initial introduction call.

During this call, we’ll discuss:

• Your childcare requirements

• Schedule and hours

• Live-in or live-out preference

• After-school or full-time needs

• Your parenting style and household expectations

• Any SEN or tutoring requirements

This allows us to understand your family properly — not just fill a role.

What happens after the introduction call?

We get to work immediately.

Using your specific requirements, we carefully match suitable nannies or mannies from our network based on:

• Experience

• Personality fit

• Qualifications

• Availability

• Salary expectations

We focus on quality over quantity — you will only receive strong, aligned matches.

How will we receive candidate profiles?

Successful matches are shared with you via:

• WhatsApp

• Email

Profiles include relevant experience, qualifications and background information so you can review comfortably in your own time.

How do you support us during the introduction stage?

Once profiles are shared, we add you to a dedicated WhatsApp customer service group chat.

This group allows you to:

• Ask questions in real time

• Receive guidance on interviews

• Get support during decision-making

• Clarify contract or salary queries

We are present throughout the process so you never feel unsupported.

Can we speak to the nanny before deciding?

Absolutely.

We organise either:

• A phone or video call

• A face-to-face meeting

This gives you the opportunity to assess personality, communication style and overall compatibility.

We strongly believe interviews are essential for ensuring the right fit.

Do you offer trials?

Yes.

We can arrange a trial shift before you formally offer the position. This allows both the family and the nanny to experience the dynamic in real time and ensure mutual comfort.

What happens after a successful trial?

If you’re happy:

1. You formally offer the position

2. The nanny accepts

3. You join our membership service

4. We provide continued support and guaranteed backup care

5. Your nanny begins their role

From there — we remain available 7 days a week for ongoing support.

When does membership begin?

Membership begins once you formally hire your nanny. This activates:

• Guaranteed backup care

• Ongoing placement support

• WhatsApp assistance

• Access to additional services

How long does the hiring process usually take?

Timelines vary depending on requirements, but many families secure a nanny within 1–3 weeks from the initial call.

Urgent placements can often be supported faster.

Our Promise Throughout the Process

We are not simply matching CVs.

We are matching families.

From your first call to your nanny’s first day — and beyond — we are by your side.

Yes.

Every nanny placed through our London nanny agency undergoes:

• Enhanced DBS check

• Verified professional references

• ID verification

• Right-to-Work checks

Safeguarding is non-negotiable.

Yes. We work with SEN-experienced nannies in London who support children with:

• Autism

• ADHD

• Learning differences

• Additional care needs

Please contact us to discuss your child’s specific requirements.

Hourly rates vary depending on experience, qualifications and responsibilities.

Rates begin at London Living Wage minimum and increase based on:

• Years of experience

• SEN expertise

• Tutoring ability

• Live-in vs live-out arrangements

• After-school vs full-time roles

We provide complete transparency before interviews take place.

Starting at £14-20 per hour

Absolutely.

We believe choosing a nanny is about more than qualifications — it’s about the right fit.

We arrange interviews at a time that suits you, allowing you to:

• Meet your nanny

• Ask questions

• Discuss parenting style

• Align on routines and expectations

Your peace of mind is our priority.

If we have done our job correctly, this will be rare.

However, if circumstances change:

1. We listen carefully to your concerns

2. We provide replacement profiles as part of your membership

3. We work closely with you to find a better match

If, after reasonable efforts, a suitable replacement cannot be found, we will cancel your membership.

Your family’s wellbeing comes first.

Yes.

We offer emergency childcare across Greater London, ensuring your family is never left without support if your nanny is unwell or unavailable.

This is part of our guaranteed backup care promise.

Our membership provides ongoing childcare support — not just a single placement.
