How it works

Create a Profile

It's completely free for caregivers to create a profile, apply for jobs and contact parents.

Your profile is the primary way that parents will find and notice you. We have lots of great articles to help you create a profile that stands out, plus all the information you need to work as a nanny. Your profile will need to be fully completed and approved by our Customer Service team before it is displayed in the search results for parents and before you can apply for jobs. Take the time to create a profile that parents will notice.
