This article has been written for the Koru Kids Nanny Service for nannies who are thinking about applying.


If you are super speedy completing the stages of the application, and your references respond right away, it can take just a week for you to get to the stage where we can look for families for you. 

We receive a lot of applications and always do our best to keep things moving for you, so please allow at least 5 days before reaching out to us for an update.

It is a bit tricky to then say how long it will take to find the right family for you. Some nannies get matched within a week, but others take a few weeks longer. 

We also have families looking for care in advance (e.g. the beginning of the next school term), so it doesn't matter if you can't start straight away. We still recommend you finalise your application as soon as possible though, to give you plenty of time to find a role.

If you have already started your application and are wondering how you can speed things up - then this should help!
