Nanny and nanny-housekeeper introductions for Kensington families, with candidate suitability assessed against the actual role.
Filipino Nanny helps Kensington families define full-time, part-time, live-in and live-out childcare roles and compare individual candidates against the brief. The hiring decision should be based on relevant experience, references, communication, availability and role fit rather than assumptions about nationality.
If the position combines childcare with a substantial household workload, a nanny-housekeeper may be the clearer role. For another London postcode, see our London coverage guide or submit the location with your enquiry so we can confirm current candidate availability.
What our W8 enquiries show: five enquiries in the current agency dataset used W8 postcodes. Two included Nanny, two included Nanny-Housekeeper, one included Housekeeper and one included Temporary/Holiday Nanny. Four of the five were part-time and one full-time. Because the role field is multi-select, role mentions can overlap; these are brief signals, not completed placements or a measure of the Kensington market.

The right choice depends on the individual candidate and the actual household role. Nationality is not evidence of childcare ability, work ethic, English proficiency, reliability or suitability.
Filipino Nanny specialises in introducing Filipino nanny candidates to London families while keeping the hiring decision focused on individual evidence and fit.
Families in Kensington may need different childcare arrangements depending on the children’s ages, household schedule and whether accommodation is available. Candidate availability and suitability depend on the specific brief.
For families needing regular childcare across the working week. Hours, duties and the working arrangement should be agreed clearly before hiring.
For families who need childcare on selected days or during defined periods such as mornings, afternoons or after school.
A live-in nanny lives in the family home and requires suitable accommodation; a live-out nanny travels to the household for agreed hours. Live-in status does not mean 24-hour or on-call availability, and working hours and rest periods still need to be defined.
For newborn, toddler or school-age care, assess the individual candidate’s relevant experience and qualifications for that age group. Specialist skills should be verified rather than assumed.
If the position combines childcare with wider household duties, a nanny-housekeeper may be more appropriate. The job description should make the childcare and housekeeping split explicit.
Filipino Nanny can help you discuss the role and identify candidates who fit the brief. Replacement terms, vetting checks and any post-placement support should be confirmed from the agency’s current written terms rather than assumed.
We understand that hiring a nanny is a big decision for your family. Here are answers to some of the most common questions we receive about hiring Filipino nannies in Kensington.
Check the individual candidate’s relevant childcare experience, references, communication, availability and any qualifications the role genuinely requires. DBS, first-aid or other checks should be described only where they are actually completed or evidenced. See our vetting and screening process for what the agency currently verifies and what remains the household employer’s responsibility.
A live-in arrangement may be considered where the family can provide suitable accommodation and the candidate is available for the agreed role. Live-in does not mean 24-hour or permanently on-call care. Hours, overnight responsibilities, rest time and accommodation should be defined separately. See our live-in nanny guide.
Child-related tasks can be part of a nanny role when agreed. If the job also includes substantial cleaning, laundry, cooking or household organisation, define it as a nanny-housekeeper role rather than expanding a childcare role without clear priorities.
Contact the agency if concerns arise. We can explain the options available under the current written terms and the circumstances of the placement. Any replacement entitlement or post-placement support should be checked against those terms rather than assumed from a general guarantee.
There is no fixed hiring time we can promise for every brief. Timing depends on the role, hours, live-in or live-out arrangement, start date and whether suitable candidates are currently available. Define the brief early and allow time for shortlisting, interview, any agreed trial and employment setup. See our step-by-step hiring guide.
