Domestic staffing trends in 2026
Wider labour-market trends also affect domestic staffing. In 2026, experts note an increase in multi-skilled employment and stronger demand for practical work. In nanny recruitment, this means that families increasingly seek versatile employees able to handle a broad range of responsibilities. Filipino nannies, with their helper-oriented approach, respond well to this demand.
We analysed more than 200 requests during the latest quarter and identified a clear trend: in 7 out of 10 cases, employers ask us to consider candidates from the Philippines, valuing their loyalty, effectiveness and consistent focus on work.
Why do families choose Filipino nannies?
Philippine culture places family at the centre and emphasises respect for elders. This contributes to strong loyalty and genuine attachment to children. Filipino candidates are also known for their mobility and ability to adapt to a dynamic family lifestyle.
What are the main advantages of Filipino nannies?
1. Excellent English — a genuine advantage for the family. English is one of the Philippines’ official languages, so many nannies speak it fluently and can communicate, read and sing with children in English, creating natural language immersion.
2. Professionalism and education — many nannies have qualifications in teaching or nursing.
3. Versatility — the domestic-staffing sector in the Philippines often uses the broader concept of a helper rather than strictly separating nanny and housekeeper roles. Filipino nannies are therefore often ready to combine childcare with cleaning, cooking and maintaining order.
4. A culture based on care and respect — Filipino nannies are known for patience, kindness and optimism. They are generally not inclined towards shouting or authoritarian methods.
5. Loyalty and long-term commitment — they often build relationships with a family over many years and remain strongly focused on their work.
