Is finding a good Confinement Nanny just a matter of luck?

Unfortunately, it is so common for Mummies to have disappointing experiences with Confinement Nannies that many chalk it up to luck. But it doesn't have to be that way. With MummyNanny, you can take control of the hiring process—research nanny profiles, read real reviews, and personally interview shortlisted nannies before making any deposit. The more informed you are, the better your chances of finding the right fit.

Is it safe to find and hire a Confinement Nanny online?

It is risky to hire a Confinement Nanny online. Many Mummies have been scammed by people posing to be Nannies online. There are also cases of Nannies making excessive demands or refusing to turn up after taking deposits. You may check the Complaint Radar to read about these cases.

Is it really easier or cheaper to hire a Confinement Nanny directly?

Direct hiring is not easier or cheaper, and it comes with much higher risks. With MummyNanny, you can filter based on your needs, compare Nanny profiles, read real reviews, and shortlist candidates—all in one place. When you hire directly, it’s hard to keep track of this information, and you’re completely on your own if something goes wrong. With MummyNanny, you enjoy all the tools, transparency, and protections without paying extra—we don’t charge Mummies for using the platform or making a deposit.

How can I avoid scams when hiring a Confinement Nanny online?

MummyNanny is designed to prevent Mummies from being scammed. With our money-back guarantee policy, we release the deposit to the Nanny only after you've confirmed her arrival, so no one can take your deposit and leave you stranded.

Is it safe to transfer a deposit directly to a Confinement Nanny?

It is risky to transfer money to a stranger's bank account, as you will not have an official receipt of the service agreement. Moreover, making payments directly to an individual for a service is unofficial. If something goes wrong, you might have no way to recover your money even if you involve the authorities.

How does MummyNanny encourage Nannies to provide excellent service?

Nannies know their reputations are on the line when you pay their deposit through the platform. We created the MummyNanny World Confinement Nanny Rankings to encourage Nannies to always provide their best performance. Every Mummy who pays their Nanny's deposit through the system will be able to submit a public evaluation of the Nanny's performance, which seriously impacts her reputation and position on the world rankings. This directly impacts Nannies' chances of getting future jobs, so they’ll work hard to impress you.

What is the safest way to hire a Confinement Nanny I've never met?

Start by gathering all the important information: understand her job scope, fees, how she schedules jobs before and after yours, and what past Mummies have said—both positive reviews and complaints. Just as importantly, when you pay a deposit, make sure you receive not only a payment receipt but also an official service agreement. Based on real experiences reported by other Mummies, these steps are essential—even if the Nanny was recommended by someone you trust. That’s why MummyNanny provides dedicated tools to help you research Nannies thoroughly and pay deposits safely with proper documentation.

Why should I pay my Confinement Nanny's deposit through MummyNanny?

Because your peace of mind matters. When you pay through MummyNanny, your deposit is protected by a money-back guarantee. Nannies know you can leave a public evaluation on their profiles, which determines their world ranking and directly affects their chances of getting future jobs. This motivates them to give you the best possible service.

Can a Nanny make more demands after I've paid her deposit?

Agreeing on all the details before paying the deposit is very important. We recommend that Mummies always request the Nanny to provide an eAgreement, which the Nanny can easily generate through our system. This helps to ensure everything is clearly stated and agreed upon from the start. Also, once you pay a Nanny's deposit through MummyNanny, you can leave a public evaluation on her profile. This helps encourage professional conduct and keeps Nannies on their best behavior throughout the job.

Why do some Confinement Nannies provide poor service?

In most cases, it is because they know it won't affect their chances of getting the next job. On MummyNanny, every Nanny's performance is evaluated, and reviews affect their future bookings. That's why Nannies are more committed to doing their best when you pay their deposit through the platform.

Can I report a Nanny to the police or take legal action if there is no written contract?

Based on past Mummy experiences, it is very difficult for authorities or the law to step in without a formal contract. That's why paying your deposit through MummyNanny means more than just finding a Confinement Nanny — it means every job has an official record and there is proof of service agreement between you and the Nanny.

What happens if my Confinement Nanny cancels at the last minute?

Nannies on our platform know that their world ranking depends on how professionally they handle such situations, so they don't cancel jobs unless there is a genuine emergency. In such rare cases, the Nanny will inform you early. You'll get your deposit back and we’ll arrange an urgent hire.

What interview questions should I ask Confinement Nannies before hiring them?

When speaking to a Confinement Nanny, it is important to ask the right questions—not just about her experience and availability, but also about her hygiene standards, cooking skills, attitude, and approach to newborn care. These questions help you spot green flags (like good communication and professionalism) as well as red flags (such as evasive answers or inflexibility). If you are unsure where to start, your Mummy Support Representative can provide you with a ready-made list of essential questions to ask. This list is designed to help you compare Nannies fairly and make a confident, informed decision before placing your deposit.

Our Confinement Nanny rankings are determined by two key factors: a Truncated Total Evaluation Score, reflecting performance across multiple jobs and feedback from various mothers, and Profile Strength, which assesses the transparency and credibility of a Nanny's profile. This dual approach ensures parents get the information they need while recognizing nannies for consistent, reliable, and quality care. We are always improving this system based on community feedback.
