Peshawar's academic and professional families in University Town and Hayatabad consistently rank childcare among their most carefully screened hiring decisions.

Academic calendars shape our busiest seasons

University Town's concentration of faculty, researchers and visiting academic families means a noticeable share of our Peshawar nanny requests cluster around the academic calendar, new semester starts, research fellowships beginning, or families relocating for a teaching post and needing childcare sorted quickly alongside everything else. Hayatabad's more residential, professional households tend to have steadier, longer-term needs rather than seasonal spikes. Knowing which pattern applies helps us plan ahead rather than scrambling for a same-week match during peak relocation periods.

What we check before placing a nanny

Every candidate goes through CNIC and address verification, reference checks focused specifically on childcare experience, an in-depth in-person interview, and a health screening. For families relocating to University Town on short notice, we keep a shortlist of pre-vetted candidates ready so a tight semester-start timeline doesn't mean cutting corners on screening.

What a typical booking looks like

For families relocating to University Town around a semester start, timing is often the biggest constraint, so we try to compress the process without cutting screening steps. That usually means the reference checks and interview happen in parallel with the family's own moving logistics, and we share candidate profiles as soon as they clear rather than waiting to batch a full shortlist. Hayatabad households, with steadier timelines, generally go through a more paced process, an initial conversation, a shortlist of two or three candidates, an in-person meeting, then a decision over a few days rather than under time pressure.

Trial period and replacements

Whether a placement happens on a tight relocation timeline or a relaxed one, we treat the first couple of weeks as a settling-in period. This matters especially for University Town families who may have had less time than usual to meet multiple candidates before deciding. If the arrangement isn't working, tell us and we'll find a replacement rather than leaving a newly-arrived family to manage on their own.

Questions we get asked most in Peshawar

We're relocating to Peshawar and need childcare sorted before we even arrive, is that possible? We can start the process remotely, sharing candidate profiles and arranging video introductions before you land, though the final in-person meeting happens once you're here.

Do Hayatabad families mostly hire full-time or part-time nannies? Both are common; full-time is more typical for dual-income households, while part-time and after-school arrangements suit families with some support at home already.

How do you handle short-notice requests during peak relocation season? We keep a shortlist of pre-vetted candidates specifically for this reason, so a tight timeline doesn't mean skipping steps in the screening process.

Language comfort matters more than it might seem

Peshawar's mix of long-settled families and academic households relocating from elsewhere means language preference varies more here than in some cities. Many University Town families, especially those coming from outside the province for a teaching post or fellowship, want a nanny comfortable working in Urdu or English rather than assuming Pashto fluency; established Hayatabad households, on the other hand, often prefer someone fluent in Pashto since that's what's spoken day-to-day at home. Neither is more "correct", it just needs to match your household, so we ask specifically rather than defaulting to whichever candidates happen to be available fastest.

How we match on age-group experience

A nanny who's spent years with newborns and a nanny who's spent years managing homework and after-school routines for a ten-year-old are, in practice, doing different jobs. When we build a shortlist for Peshawar families, we ask candidates directly about the age ranges they've actually cared for and how recently, rather than leaning on a generic "childcare experience" line. This matters especially for University Town families relocating with a young infant, where there's less margin for a mismatch than there is with an older, more independent child, and for Hayatabad households whose needs may shift over time as children grow, where we keep track of a candidate's range of experience in case the arrangement needs to evolve.

Need other staff too? We also place cooks, helpers, drivers and cleaners throughout Peshawar.

A couple more things worth knowing

Is there a minimum commitment period? No fixed minimum, most households start with a short trial and continue on a rolling basis once they're satisfied.

What if we're not sure exactly what we need yet? That's fine, describe your household or business in general terms on WhatsApp and we'll help narrow down the right fit before shortlisting anyone.

Can a nanny placement change from part-time to full-time later on? Yes, if your needs grow, let us know and we'll either adjust the arrangement with the same nanny or help you shortlist for the new schedule.

Message us on WhatsApp with your children's ages and schedule needs, we'll shortlist verified candidates within 48 hours.
