Nanny services across London
Whether you live in Kensington, Chelsea, Westminster, Richmond or elsewhere in London, our team understands what families in these areas need from their childcare. We match you with candidates who are well qualified and who know the local area, its schools, activities and amenities.
We place nannies with London families in a range of roles:
- Live-in nannies, who live with the family and work set hours each week.
- Live-out nannies, who work agreed daily hours and live independently.
- Rota nannies, who work in rotation with a second nanny for round-the-clock or extended cover.
- Maternity nurses, who support parents and newborns in the first weeks and months.
- SEN nannies, for children with special educational needs.
- Governesses and tutors, for school-age children who need educational support.
How we find your nanny
- Free consultation. We talk through your family’s needs, the hours you need covered and the type of nanny you’re looking for.
- Search and vetting. We shortlist experienced, qualified candidates with contactable references, a valid enhanced DBS certificate and an in-date first aid certificate.
- Introductions. You meet and interview the candidates who best match your family before making your choice.
- Ongoing support. Our support doesn’t end when the placement starts. We stay in touch throughout your nanny’s time with your family.
Many of the London families we work with lead busy, high-profile lives and value discretion. Our nannies are used to working within fully staffed households, alongside housekeepers, drivers and other members of staff.
