PLACE AN ADVERT TO FIND A CHILDCARER

A cheap, quick and easy way to advertise your job vacancy to thousands of experienced nannies and childcarers, many of whom are currently looking for a new job

When recruiting a childcarer direct, rather than through one of our vetted agencies, it is important you make a variety of checks to ensure you are employing someone who is trustworthy and reliable. To help you with this, we have launched a new CV Reference Checking Service.

SEARCH THE BEST BEAR CV DATABASE FOR AVAILABLE CHILDCARERS

Our new CV database allows you to browse available childcarers' CVs and contact them if you feel that they would be suitable for your childcare requirements. This service is currently free of charge for a trial period.
