Founded By Someone Who Has Been In Your Shoes

"Before founding The Nanny & Maternity Agency, I worked as a nanny myself, supporting families in both the UK and internationally.
​
Having sat on both sides of the placement process, I understand the challenges, expectations and trust involved when searching for the right role.
​
I believe candidates deserve honesty, professionalism and clear communication throughout the recruitment process. My goal is always to create thoughtful, long-term placements where both families and childcare professionals feel supported, respected and well-matched."

​
Every application is assessed individually based on experience, qualifications, references and suitability for the roles we recruit for.
Every placement is different.
​
Some candidates secure suitable positions quickly, whilst others may take longer depending on factors such as availability, flexibility, location, experience and current family requirements.
​
We encourage candidates to remain open-minded and flexible wherever possible to maximise opportunities.
Yes.
​
Candidate information is treated confidentially and will only be shared with prospective families following discussion and agreement with you.
We take privacy seriously and handle all personal information responsibly and professionally.

​
We welcome applications from childcare professionals who are planning to relocate to the UK and are seeking childcare opportunities following their move.
​
However, candidates must already hold the legal right to work in the UK in order to be considered for roles through the Agency.
Please note that The Nanny & Maternity Agency does not provide visa sponsorship, work permits or immigration support, and we are unable to assist candidates in obtaining the right to work in the UK.
​
Candidates are responsible for ensuring they have the appropriate immigration status and documentation required to work legally within the UK before applying for positions.
Whilst every family is different, qualities such as reliability, professionalism, warmth, communication skills and a genuine passion for childcare are consistently valued.
Families are often looking for someone they can trust, who will integrate naturally into their household and build a positive long-term relationship with their children.
If both you and the family would like to proceed, the next stage may involve a second interview, trial day or placement offer.
We will guide you through each stage of the process, facilitate communication where appropriate and provide support to help ensure both parties feel comfortable and informed before moving forward.
