Childcare and household support combined in one clearly defined role, matched to your family’s schedule, duties and working arrangement.
A nanny-housekeeper combines childcare with agreed household duties in one role. Filipino Nanny helps London families define the balance between those responsibilities and identify individual candidates whose experience, references, availability and communication fit the brief.
The role can be full-time, part-time, live-in or live-out, but the duties should be written clearly so childcare and housekeeping expectations do not expand informally after the placement starts.
A nanny-housekeeper is a dual-role household employee whose job combines childcare with defined housekeeping duties. The exact balance varies by family and should be agreed before hiring.
Compared with a nanny, the role normally includes a wider household remit. Compared with a dedicated housekeeper, childcare remains a substantive part of the job rather than an occasional extra. Families should set out which tasks belong to each side of the role, the expected hours and whether the position is live-in or live-out.
Filipino Nanny specialises in introducing Filipino nanny-housekeeper candidates, but suitability must be assessed individually from relevant experience, references, communication, availability and fit with the household.
Every family has unique needs and that’s why at Filipino Nanny we provide a range of tailored Filipino nanny services to ensure you get the support that’s right for your family.
Whether you need full-time help or occasional assistance, our experienced nannies are here to make your life easier.
A full-time nanny-housekeeper can suit families who need regular childcare together with agreed household support. The position may be live-in or live-out, depending on the household setup and the candidate’s availability.
Points to define before hiring:
A live-in arrangement does not mean 24-hour availability. Working hours, rest periods and role boundaries should be agreed clearly in advance.
A part-time nanny-housekeeper can suit families who need childcare and agreed household support on selected days or at particular times of the week.
Before hiring, define:
The right arrangement depends on the family’s workload, the candidate’s availability and the duties involved. Compare the total role rather than assuming that part-time is automatically cheaper or easier to manage.
Some families need a temporary nanny-housekeeper for travel, holidays or a defined period of cover. Availability depends on the dates, location, hours, children’s needs and household duties required.
If the requirement is mainly childcare rather than a dual role, see our temporary and holiday nanny service. For a nanny-housekeeper enquiry, send the exact dates and duties so current availability can be checked.
Some families need short-term nanny-housekeeper cover rather than a permanent placement. Availability depends on the dates, duties, hours and candidates available at the time of enquiry.
A temporary nanny-housekeeper combines childcare with agreed household duties for a defined period. Before booking, set out the dates, normal working hours, location, children’s needs and the household tasks expected.
If your need is urgent or short notice, contact the agency with the exact requirements. We will only confirm cover once a suitable candidate and the relevant terms have been agreed.
Families choose a nanny-housekeeper when they need both childcare and defined household support in one role. The decision should be based on whether the workload genuinely fits the hours offered, and whether the individual candidate has the experience, references, communication and availability required for both sides of the job.
Our Filipino specialism describes the candidate community we recruit within; it is not used as evidence that an individual person has particular personality traits or abilities.
For childcare responsibilities, look for evidence that the individual candidate has worked with children of similar ages and understands the routines your family needs. References and interview examples are more useful indicators than broad assumptions about background or nationality.
For a dual role, reliability means carrying out the agreed childcare and household duties consistently within the agreed hours. Check this through the candidate’s references, employment history and interview examples, and make the division of duties explicit in the job description.
A nanny-housekeeper combines childcare with wider household duties, but the two responsibilities still need priorities and boundaries. If childcare and housekeeping compete for attention, the family should make clear which tasks come first and what can realistically be completed within the agreed hours.
Use the nanny-housekeeper duties guide for a detailed breakdown, and compare a dual role with separate nanny and housekeeper roles if the workload is substantial.
For current pay evidence, see the 2026 London nanny-housekeeper salary guide. The agency fee is separate and is explained on the fees page.
Hiring someone for both childcare and household duties requires a clear brief and careful individual assessment. Our current client terms state that the agency carries out appropriate interviews and professional checks and obtains references.
Families remain responsible for satisfying themselves that a candidate is suitable, taking up references where appropriate, checking qualifications or driving credentials, and obtaining any background, criminal-record or police checks required for the role.
That division matters because “screened” should describe the checks actually completed, not imply that every possible check has been carried out by the agency.
Communication requirements should match the actual household role. Assess each candidate directly on the level of spoken and written communication the family needs, together with their ability to understand routines, instructions and household boundaries.
Nanny-housekeeper roles can be structured as full-time, part-time, live-in, live-out or temporary arrangements where the duties and hours genuinely fit that pattern. The working arrangement should be matched to the family’s actual childcare and household needs and to the individual candidate’s availability.
Tell us the children’s ages, working hours, childcare duties, household duties and preferred working arrangement. We can then discuss suitable candidate options and the next steps.
Start a Client EnquiryA nanny-housekeeper combines substantive childcare with clearly agreed household duties. Typical responsibilities can include school or nursery routines, children’s meals and activities, laundry, general cleaning, organisation, meal preparation and errands where these are part of the job.
The exact mix should be written down before hiring. A family with young children may need childcare to dominate the working day, while a school-age role may leave more time for household tasks.
See the full nanny-housekeeper duties and responsibilities guide, including role boundaries, example schedules and when separate staff may be more practical.
Easy Employment Process
Tell us about your family and the type of support you’re looking for. Whether you need a full-time nanny, part-time support, or someone with specialized skills, we’ll take the time to understand your unique requirements.
We compare individual nanny-housekeeper candidates against the family’s brief using relevant experience, interviews and references. Families should also complete the employer-side checks and verification required for the role before employment begins.
We introduce candidates whose experience and availability appear to fit the written brief. You can then interview them, compare references and role-specific evidence, and decide whether the person is suitable for your family.
Once you choose a candidate, the family and candidate should confirm the employment terms, duties, hours and start arrangements. Our current Terms and Conditions describe the agency placement process and post-placement provisions.
Agency fees and the nanny-housekeeper’s salary are separate costs. For permanent placements, our current client Terms and Conditions state that the agency fee is 15% of the agreed gross annual salary, with a minimum fee of £2,000.
See the dedicated agency fees and pricing page for the fee structure and how it differs from employee pay and employer costs.
Nanny-housekeeper salary depends on the actual mix of childcare and household duties, working hours, live-in or live-out arrangement, experience and location. We are consolidating salary guidance into one verified source rather than repeating figures across service pages, so contact us for current role-specific guidance before making an offer.
For temporary placements or fixed-term arrangements, pricing is confirmed for the specific booking. Review the current Terms and Conditions for fee timing, cancellation, replacement and refund provisions.
If you employ a nanny-housekeeper directly, the household is responsible for the employment obligations that apply to the role, including pay, PAYE and National Insurance where applicable, paid holiday, workplace pension duties where applicable and other statutory requirements.

Choosing the right nanny-housekeeper is a significant household decision. These answers cover the role, working arrangements, screening and the hiring process. For detailed duties, see our nanny-housekeeper duties guide.
A nanny focuses primarily on childcare. A nanny-housekeeper has a genuine dual role: childcare plus wider household duties such as agreed cleaning, laundry, organisation or meal preparation. The split between the two should be written into the job description before hiring.
There is no single standard daily schedule. Hours depend on whether the role is full-time or part-time, live-in or live-out, and on the childcare and household workload. The normal days, start and finish times, rest arrangements and any additional hours should be agreed in the employment terms.
Yes, where the duties can realistically fit the part-time schedule. Define the normal days and hours and which childcare and housekeeping tasks are priorities. A shorter schedule should not simply compress a full-time workload into fewer hours.
A live-in role requires the family to describe and provide the agreed accommodation as part of the job. Candidates should know what private space and shared facilities are provided before accepting the role. Living in the household does not mean round-the-clock availability; working hours and off-duty time must still be agreed clearly.
Depending on the role, duties may include childcare, children’s meals and routines, general cleaning, laundry, ironing, household organisation, meal preparation and agreed errands. The exact list should be written into the job description and must fit the working hours. See our duties guide.
Our current client Terms and Conditions state that the agency carries out appropriate interviews and professional checks and obtains references. Families remain responsible for satisfying themselves that a candidate is suitable and for obtaining any background, criminal-record or police checks required for the role. See our vetting and screening process.
Start with a clear family brief covering the children, hours, duties, location and working arrangement. We introduce candidates who appear to fit that brief. You interview and compare them, complete the employer-side checks, use a paid trial before an offer where appropriate, then put the employment terms in writing. The family remains the employer for a permanent direct placement.
Tell us the children’s ages, working hours, childcare duties, household duties and preferred working arrangement. We can then discuss suitable candidate options and the next steps.
