Our Services
All nannies who register with Annies Nannies are subjected to thorough checks and interviews before we will allow them to go forward for positions.
We require all of our nannies have either, Early Childhood or Nanny Qualifications or at least one year’s continuous childcare experience. They must have current first-aid certificates and a full/clean driver’s licence.
We speak to at least two child-related referees and check all credentials and, of course, they all have extensive police checks which are updated approximately every six months.
ACC Nannies
If you find that through injury you are no longer able to care fully for your child you may be eligible for a nanny through ACC. Our contract for providing ACC childcare is under our parent company of "Florence Nightingale Childcare". Check us out at www.florence2care.co.nz
We are available to provide childcare at times that suit your family and your children's routines. Phone the office today or speak to your ACC Case Manager about using Florence Nightingale Childcare and Annies Nannies to provide your ACC childcare and home-help requirements.
Nanny Educators
Wouldn’t it be great for your child to wave goodbye to you in the morning? Once you choose one of our nannies you can enjoy leaving home without the mad rush and chaos. Children can relax and your nanny will stick to your routines, educate and nurture your child. You don’t need to take time off if the children are sick and you will come home to a warm, tidy house with maybe even dinner prepared!
We have full-time and part-time nannies available for your family. Once we have your requirements, we will contact our nannies who suit your job description and endeavour to have nannies ready for you to interview as soon as possible.
Nannies cost $15-$20 per hour for up to 4 children. We advise that you have an employment contract and complete our job description template with your nanny. We can supply you with examples of these.

All of our permanent nanny placements and families are entitled to…
- Free Educational resources,
- Monthly visits from a qualified Early Childhood Educator,

Home-Based Educators
This service is held in the nanny’s own home. It offers all of the above benefits with the social interactions of a miniature preschool at home. Our home-based educators go through the same procedures as all of our nannies who register with us as well as extra checks on their home and family. With a maximum of 4 children in a home-based situation, your child will experience both one-on-one time with their educator and group activities tailored to their specific interests. The Educator is supported by our Programme Coordinators who will help them plan a specific educational programme for your child.
A home-based educator costs $5-$7 per hour per child.
These services are currently only available in the Christchurch and Marlborough/Nelson areas only. We will be expanding these services to Dunedin and Queenstown in the next few months.
After School Nannies
After school care is a very sought after service in New Zealand. We find that these positions can be hard to fill on a permanent basis. If you wish for us to find you an After School nanny there will be a administration and advertising fee of $50 (non-refundable) for 6 weeks of advertising your position. After 6 weeks if you wish us to continue advertising, another $50 fee will apply. If we are successful in filling your position the non-refundable fees will be taken off the placement fee total.
After School nannies are $15-$20 per hour and if they are required to use their own car you are required to reimburse them .70c per kilometre. If you have any further questions please let us know.
Temporary Nannies
Are your children sick and can’t go to preschool or school? Are you sick and can’t take care of your kids? Do you have a new baby and need help? Just need a day off?
There are many reasons you may need a temporary nanny. We can arrange a nanny to come to your home at short notice to cover any of your childcare requirements.
