The Nanny Solidarity Network is a grassroots worker- and migrant-led organisation based in London. We provide support, resources, community, and space for collective action to nannies & au pairs throughout the UK.
We believe that nannies & au pairs are some of the most poorly treated workers in the UK. We are not represented in mainstream childcare advocacy, many of us earn less than minimum wage, and—if we are live-in workers—we are denied even basic worker's rights.
We believe that nannies & au pairs have the power to change the system through community & campaigning. As a mutual aid network, we support one another to escape dangerous employment, access vital resources and training, find safe accommodation and reliable legal advice, and build community with other workers both locally and nationally.
Beyond supporting one another, we work hard to fight injustice in our sector through campaigning and public awareness-raising work. We are always looking to meet more nannies & au pairs based in the UK, and believe that all are welcome in the NSN, regardless of immigration status. If you would like to join us or find out more, please get in touch via our 'contact' page.
We provide access to free and fair support, we help with general advice, employment queries, immigration, and more.
We provide skill-share workshops, first aid training, and more to help nannies and au pairs feel confident in their work.
Union membership gives us legal representation, employment support, English classes, and the opportunity to build campaigns.
We provide hardship grants and emergency housing to nannies & au pairs in, or at imminent risk of, financial hardship or homelessness.
We provide free downloadable resources such as contract templates and we also sign-post to resources from like-minded groups.
We run regular online and in-person meet-ups and activities in a warm and welcoming environment so that nannies & au pairs can meet each other.
We are a non-profit organisation led by and for nannies, and are always looking for people who can help support our community.
