Job Description

The Role Tinies is currently seeking energetic and experienced childcarers to join our elite team of Event Nannies in Newcastle. This is a unique opportunity for those who love the “buzz” of events but are passionate about providing top-tier childcare. As an Event Nanny, you are the secret ingredient to a successful function; you provide parents with the peace of mind they need to enjoy their event, knowing their children are having just as much fun in a safe, professional environment.

A Dynamic Work Environment No two shifts are the same in event childcare. One day you might be part of a team managing a pop-up crèche at a corporate conference, and the next, you could be providing individual care for a toddler during a high-profile wedding reception. You will be responsible for transforming a designated space into a “mini-sanctuary” for young guests, filled with engaging activities that keep them entertained while their parents are occupied. Your ability to walk into a new environment and immediately establish a sense of security and fun is what will set you apart.

Professionalism and Care While the setting is often festive, your role is one of significant responsibility. You will be dealing with children of all ages, often meeting them and their parents for the first time. This requires a high level of emotional intelligence and the ability to quickly understand a child’s needs and a parent’s expectations. From managing the specific dietary needs of a baby to settling a tired toddler to sleep in a mobile crèche, your professionalism ensures that the childcare side of the event runs seamlessly.

Why Join the Tinies Team? Tinies is renowned for its commitment to quality childcare. By joining our Newcastle event team, you become part of a network of professionals who are dedicated to the highest standards of the industry. We provide full details of every booking—including hours and pay—well in advance, allowing you to manage your schedule with total clarity. If you are a proactive childcarer looking for a role that offers variety, flexibility, and the chance to work at the heart of Newcastle’s vibrant event scene, we want to see your CV.

Key Organisation Highlights (2026)

Core Operations & Regional Services

Tinies North East acts as a comprehensive “childcare department” for the region, offering several specialized streams:

• Nanny Placement: Providing full-time, part-time, and “Holiday Nannies” for local families. They specialize in matching specific needs, such as SEN (Special Educational Needs) support or bilingual care.

• Nursery Supply: A vital partner for Newcastle’s early years settings, providing qualified Level 2 and Level 3 practitioners to cover sickness, training days, and peak periods.

• Event Childcare: Renowned for providing mobile creches and “Event Nannies” for weddings and corporate functions at major North East venues.

Working for Tinies (Newcastle)

For childcare professionals in Tyneside, Tinies offers a structured but autonomous career path:

• The “Vetting Standard”: Every candidate must undergo a rigorous process, including an Enhanced DBS check, up-to-date Paediatric First Aid, and a face-to-face interview with the Newcastle team.

• Tinies Flex: A popular 2026 initiative allowing staff to “be their own boss” by picking up nursery or babysitting shifts via an app that fits around their existing studies or commitments.

• Employee Sentiment: Reviews from Newcastle staff (March 2026) highlight the team as being “super kind, helpful and quick to respond.” While highly rated for flexibility, some feedback notes that travel to certain outlying North East settings can be challenging as travel time is typically unpaid.

2026 Strategic Vision: “Quality with Care”

As of March 2026, Tinies is focusing on:
