NannyNow connects South African families with trusted, vetted caregivers — and gives caring individuals a flexible way to earn meaningful income.
Our story
They say it takes a village to raise a child.
In generations past, that village was often made up of grandparents, aunts, uncles, neighbours and friends who were nearby and ready to help when needed. Today, many families live far away from their support networks, loved ones may be working themselves, and the people we would normally turn to are not always available when we need them most.
Modern life
The demands keep growing.
Parents need to work, attend meetings, travel, manage school holidays, care for sick children and juggle countless responsibilities. Yet parents can only take so much time away from work before it begins to impact their careers, finances and family stability.
Many parents don't need a permanent nanny. Sometimes they simply need trusted support for a few hours, a day, a weekend — or those unexpected moments when life doesn't go to plan.
Why we existNannyNow was created to
NannyNow was created to
help bridge that gap.
Our vision is to expand the village by connecting families with trusted, vetted caregivers who can step in when support is needed most — without the complexity, commitment or admin burden of long-term employment.
What we believe
Built on three simple ideas.
Flexible by default
Book by the hour, day or weekend — no long-term contracts, no admin headaches.
Community first
Every booking supports a local caregiver and strengthens the village around your family.
When life happens
For every kind of moment.
And sometimes it's not an emergency at all. Healthy parents make happier families — and everyone deserves a little support now and then.
