Nanny FAQs

Good questions, clear answers.

How long does verification take?

Most nannies are fully verified within 3–5 business days after submitting documents.

When do I get paid?

Payouts run weekly. Money for completed sessions is held by NannyNow and paid out reliably each week.

What's the platform fee?

A small percentage is deducted from each booking to cover platform, payments and support. You see the exact amount before confirming any session.

Can I choose my clients?

Absolutely. You see every request and decide whether to accept. You can also block or decline anyone at any time.

What support do I get?

Real humans on the NannyNow team are available in-app and over email during business hours. If something goes wrong with a client, we mediate.

Do I need formal childcare qualifications?

No, but experience and a clear love of children matter. Qualifications like CPR / first aid / ECD help you stand out and earn more.
