Kindred Community

Support and Community are part of our culture

The Kindred Network is STRONG & we’re super proud of it!

We really encourage our Nannies to join our network to help stay connected, find new friends and socialise with other Nannies!

When you’re placed in a role through Kindred, you’ll be invited to our exclusive WhatsApp group
— a warm, supportive community of Kindred nannies working across London, run by Kindred Ambassadors — experienced local nannies.
Ask questions or for confidential advice, organise nanny meet-ups both in and outside of work and get help settling into your new role or area!

Our Facebook Group, The Kindred Nanny Network, is where we organise all our group events: GOSH fundraisers, Summer Picnics, Nanny Meet-ups, Christmas Party and more!

And of course our team are always happy to listen, help you with concerns and offer guidance no matter what stage of the search you are at.
