Kathyrn’s Support for UK Nannies Matter Campaign.


“I am a huge advocate for UK Nannies Matter Campaign, as I believe Nannies are not rewarded fairly for all the hard work they do. As a teacher, CPD was easy to come by and paid for by my employers. I think it is so important as a nanny to continue learning and developing to become the best that I can be”

It is important for Parents to regulate and check Nannies. But also for the Nannies safety, I believe Parents should also be regulated and checked as employers. This would give everyone the knowledge and safety necessary. You would be available to do this in any other position, such as HR departments.

Contracts, gross pay, holidays, sick pay and other important legal requirements which are mandatory in most other positions, should be a requirement for Nannies too!

Being a Professional Nanny is not a hobby, although I do love it. It is not a job for me, it is my career and should be regulated and awarded as such!
