Nanny agency · London, UK & Europe
Nanny agency for private households in London
Nannies, governesses and maternity nurses for every stage of childhood, at home and when the family travels. Found through Michael's private network and vetted by him personally.
The short answer
What a nanny does for your family
A nanny looks after the children day to day: routines, meals, school runs, activities and play, and keeping the parents up to date. A governess focuses on education and tutoring, and a maternity nurse supports the family in the first weeks after a birth.
In larger households the nanny works alongside the house manager and the rest of the staff. Many families need a nanny who travels with them between residences and on holiday.
