Filipino Nanny has completed live-out nanny and nanny-housekeeper placements in Clapham. The recurring brief we have handled is practical: professional couples needing dependable childcare coverage, sometimes combined with a defined household workload.
The first decision is therefore the role itself, not the nationality of the candidate or a generic local package.
Our completed Clapham placements include a mix of live-out nanny and nanny-housekeeper positions for busy professional couples. That pattern matters because it shows why “childcare help” is too vague a brief.
A pure nanny role works when childcare is the principal job. A nanny-housekeeper works when the family genuinely needs both childcare and wider household duties, and the timetable contains realistic periods for those duties.
This is an anonymised pattern from Filipino Nanny Agency’s completed placements, not a claim about every family in Clapham.
| Question | Nanny | Nanny-housekeeper |
|---|---|---|
| Main purpose | Childcare | Childcare plus defined wider household duties |
| Typical secondary tasks | Children’s meals, routines, school runs and child-related tidying where agreed | Cleaning, laundry, ironing, organisation, cooking or errands where agreed |
| Best fit | The children need focused care across the working pattern | The household can realistically sequence childcare and housekeeping within the same hours |
| Key risk | Housekeeping gets added informally later | Two full jobs are squeezed into one timetable |
For a deeper comparison, see nanny-housekeeper vs separate nanny and housekeeper.
Define whether the position is full-time or part-time, the guaranteed weekly hours, days, start and finish times, and whether the family needs holiday cover. For after-school or part-time patterns, state whether term-time hours change during school holidays.
Use hourly vs full-time nanny arrangements if the family is still deciding how much coverage it needs.
Current London pay varies by the role, experience, hours and responsibilities. Use the London nanny salary guide for nanny benchmarks and the nanny-housekeeper salary guide for dual-role ranges.
Salary is not the whole budget. Employer National Insurance, pension, insurance, payroll and the agency fee can also apply; see total cost of employing a nanny.
