For Recurring Bookings

Repeated bookings for CocoRio nannies, like having an after-school nanny each week or taking them to a sports class every Saturday morning.

1. Go to your Profile and choose My Jobs

2. Post your creative nanny brief, with as much detail as possible - including the date/s, number of children, their age, location and any creative requirements.

Here’s a helpful example: 

Hi CocoRio! My little one has football class at 9am every Saturday morning and I’m looking for a nanny to walk him there each week, watch his class and bring him back home. I’d then need them to make him lunch and play with him until I’m back at 12pm.

The job will be sent to our wonderful CocoRio creatives who match your availability and requirements.

3. You’ll be notified every time a new candidate applies and you can even use the chat function to message them or arrange a call to chat more. Our team at CocoRio HQ will also be able to recommend any potential fits for you to review. 

4. When you’re happy with your creative nanny  match, reply to one of your email notifications to let us know when you’d like the booking to start  and we’ll  set you up accordingly.

5. You’ll be charged daily at the end of every shift and will have complete flexibility to edit your booking, find covers and more!

For Ad-Hoc Bookings

Creative nanny bookings as and when it suits you, from occasional weekend nannying to emergency nursery cover. 

1. Go to your Profile and choose the Booking Calendar

2. Post your creative nanny brief, with as much detail as possible - including the date/s, number of children, their age, location and any creative requirements. You’ll also be able to add additional dates or make your booking recurring.

Here’s a helpful example: 

Hi CocoRio! I’m looking for a lovely creative nanny to look after my 4 year old daughter from 9am - 4pm on Thursday 22nd August. We’re based in Notting Hill and need someone to come and play with her, take her to the park, cook her meals and schedule a fun day. She loves arts and crafts, baking and dancing! She also speaks conversational French, so it would be great to have a nanny who does too. 


3. The job will be sent to our wonderful CocoRio creatives who match your availability and requirements, favourites first (if any).

4. You’ll be notified every time a new candidate applies.

5. Check your Booking Calendar and click on each date to assign your chosen creative nanny. 

6. You can then communicate with your creative nanny and book them in for more sessions, should you wish to.
