Nanny Jobs in Kent: Housekeeper & Senior Support Roles
Providing Nanny, Housekeeper and Senior Support in Kent
Hummingbird Homestaff helps Kent families find nannies, housekeepers and senior support staff. We also help experienced candidates find nanny jobs in Kent with families who really value good childcare.
We work with homes right across the county, from Sevenoaks and Tunbridge Wells to Maidstone, Canterbury, Tonbridge and Rochester. Every role is different, so we start by getting to know the family, the household and the hours involved. Then we find the person who fits.
Our philosophy is simple. Children are the heart of every home. That's why we take the time to get each placement right, for the family and for the nanny.
Find a housekeeper in Kent
We provide a bespoke recruitment process for your domestic staff, using our extensive experience and knowledge of the industry. Tell us what your home needs, from cleaning, laundry and ironing to running errands and keeping the house organised. We'll find a housekeeper who suits your routine, on a live-in or live-out basis, full time or part time. If you need help with the children too, a nanny housekeeper can cover both.
Senior Support staff in Kent
If your elderly relative needs support at home with the day to day upkeep, from household chores to companionship, we can help find the right person for the support they need. That might be a companion for a few hours a week, help with shopping and appointments, or a live-in carer. For many families it's a welcome alternative to a move into residential care, as it lets their loved one stay in the home they know.
Find a nanny in Kent
From full time daily nannies, live-in nannies and after-school nannies to maternity nurses and night nannies, we can help you find the right childcare for your family. We also recruit part-time nannies, holiday nannies for the school holidays, mother's helps and sleep trainers. You get a shortlist of candidates who match your needs, not a pile of CVs to wade through.
Find Household staff in Kent
Let us help you find what you're looking for with our end to end recruitment process and consultation service. That includes nanny housekeepers, PAs and combined roles that don't fit neatly into one box. If you're hiring for the first time, you're also becoming an employer. We'll talk you through contracts, payroll and what's expected of you, so nothing catches you out.

Kent Nanny, Housekeeper and Support Staff Vacancies
Looking for your next nanny job in Kent? We place nannies, housekeepers and senior support professionals with families across the county, from Sevenoaks, Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells in the west to Maidstone, Rochester and Canterbury further east.
No two candidates want the same thing. Some are after a full time, live-in role with one family for years. Others want part time hours that fit around their own children, or after-school work a short drive from home. Tell us what matters to you, including how far you're happy to travel, and we'll only put you forward for roles that genuinely suit.
Most families want a reliable nanny with a recognised childcare qualification, paediatric first aid and a few years of experience in a private home. Time spent in a nursery baby room or crèche counts too. Because so much of Kent is rural, a valid driving licence is on almost every family's wish list. Ofsted registration is a real plus, as it lets parents use Tax-Free Childcare towards your salary.
A typical day might include the school run, cooking healthy meals, setting up play dates and keeping the children's rooms in order. In the school holidays, that often grows into days out and longer hours.
The nanny jobs available through us vary a lot. One vacancy might be a lovely family based in Sevenoaks looking for a caring live-in mother's help. Another might be for part-time nannies to cover after-school care, with nanny jobs in Maidstone and Tonbridge often working this way. We also recruit housekeepers, and carers for older people who'd rather stay at home than move into residential care.

Frequently Asked Questions
What areas of Kent do you cover for nanny jobs?
We cover nanny jobs across the whole of Kent. Roles regularly come up in Sevenoaks, Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge, Maidstone, Canterbury and Rochester, as well as the villages around them. We also work with families on the Kent border, including the London Borough of Bromley. If you'd rather keep your commute short, tell us and we'll focus on vacancies near you.
What qualifications do I need for nanny positions in Kent?
Most Kent families look for a Level 3 childcare qualification, an up to date paediatric first aid certificate and a couple of years of experience as a nanny in a private home. Experience in a nursery baby room or crèche also counts. A valid driving licence is important for most roles, as school runs and clubs often mean driving between villages. Registering with Ofsted's voluntary Childcare Register is a bonus, as it lets parents use Tax-Free Childcare towards your salary.
Do you have live-in nanny jobs available?
Yes. Live-in roles are popular with families in the larger homes around Sevenoaks, Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge. You'll have your own room, and live-in nannies are usually paid weekly, often around £600 to £700 gross per week. We also have live-out roles, which are commonly paid around £16 to £22 gross per hour.
How does your recruitment process work?
Send us your CV and we'll have a chat about the role you're looking for, your experience, your hours and how far you're happy to travel. When a Kent vacancy matches, we'll tell you about the family and, with your go-ahead, put you forward. We arrange the interview and stay in touch through the offer, so you're never left guessing.
Are there part time nanny jobs available?
Yes. Lots of Kent families need part-time nannies for after-school care, a few full days a week, or extra help in the school holidays. Part time roles come up often in Maidstone, Tonbridge and Canterbury. Tell us the hours per week you can offer and we'll match you with families who need the same.
