“I founded the Nanny Connection, one of the leading Nanny agencies in South West London, based on over 30 years of experience working as a professional Norland Nanny and 10 years specifically working in the childcare recruitment industry, for which I was fortunate enough to win awards.

As a working mother of two children, I know the importance of experience, empathy, commitment and structure in providing quality childcare. Our clients place their trust in us and in return, we invest time and resources to ensure that we connect only the most appropriate, qualified professionals to the specific needs of every child and each, unique family.”

If you’d like to talk through your family’s childcare needs, Allie would be very happy to help!

We had a great experience working with Allie at The Nanny Connection during our search for a nanny ahead of my return to work. Allie took the time to really understand the type of nanny we were looking for and was incredibly responsive and flexible as our requirements evolved throughout the process. Despite a challenging market and various changes along the way, she worked diligently, followed up consistently, and moved quickly to identify suitable candidates. What stood out most was her ability to listen carefully to our needs and focus her search accordingly, only introducing candidates who genuinely matched our requirements. I would happily recommend Allie to any parent looking for a thoughtful, professional, and dedicated nanny agency.

Allie is absolutely incredible. She matched us with brilliant recommendations, including with someone genuinely life-changing, and was always responsive, flexible, down-to-earth and caring. She's incredibly well-connected, with a great list of nannies on her books, and hugely professional. Having spoken to the nannies Allie works with, I know they too find her thoughtful, caring and incredibly knowledgeable. She and her work changed our lives at a vulnerable time, and we will always be hugely grateful to her. We can't recommend her highly enough.

Owner's reply
Thank you so much Matt for your heartfelt review. To help families like you is why I do my job. I am so pleased we were able to find you a few candidates to support you when you most needed it. I know you have found a special person who will always be part of your lives now too. That means the world to me!

I would highly recommend Allie. She recently helped us find a night/maternity nurse and was extremely helpful. I really valued her professionalism, responsiveness and expertise. In particular she provides a more personal service compared with some of the bigger agencies and you really feel she goes out of her way to find someone who will work well for you. I recommended her to friends who had experienced some bad luck with childcare; they also found her very helpful and she has transformed their childcare set up.

I cannot rate the Nanny Connection more highly. A company that listens, can solve problems quickly and efficiently, is rigorous at background checks and has very high standards. All done with professionalism and enthusiasm. I was delighted with my Nanny, she was a perfect match for my son. There will be no other company I pick up the phone to for my future Nanny needs.

Had an amazing client experience with Allie! We were in a very time-limited situation and were looking for a nanny with a non-standard working hours and some other special requirements. Allie was able to provide exactly the profile we were looking for. There were no gaps in communication (only from my side, I admit :)), the level of tact and relevancy is really high. No time wasted + constant support and willingness to make the process as smooth and quick as possible. This is a very clear contrast with other agencies.

Allie did a fantastic search when we started looking for a nanny for our baby daughter. Allie took care to understand our criteria and preferences, and all the candidates she sourced were of very high quality. Allie is friendly, super responsive around the clock, thoughtful and responsible. Thank you so much for your help!!

Allie’s agency is the only agency I will ever use. Unlike other agents, she genuinely spends a lot of time understanding your brief and finding the right person who suits you. And unlike most agents, she doesn’t push or pressure you into a candidate who doesn’t match your family. I have been using Allie for years and she is truly warm, caring, and helpful beyond measure. She even gave me helpful tips when I was a new mum. Just an all round lovely person and I recommend her to everyone I know! I promise you that you won’t find anyone better or who will be in your corner more!!

Allie spent a lot of time understanding the brief, and what exactly we were looking for in a nanny. To that end, every candidate she put forward was compelling, unlike other agencies where they send you whoever they have on their books. It was clear that she had spent time and effort ensuring we were looking at credible options. She was also incredibly responsive, professional and patient through out. Thank you Allie!

Allie is a true professional, as well as very approachable and easy to work with. She made sure she understood really well what our family needs are and all the candidate CVs she sent through for our consideration have led to at least a video call, and a couple of face-to-face meetings - and we have high selection criteria. We ended-up hiring a temporary nanny via Allie, who has been really great. Allie is someone whom we trust for advice and opinion, and we are also currently using her help to find a permanent nanny. I would highly recommend using Allie’s help to all families looking for a nanny, as she makes the process much easier!

Find The Right Nanny

Here at the Nanny Connection we believe it is important to find the correct Nanny for your family and take the time to fully understand your family’s needs.

In the UK, the Nanny Industry is unregulated, and without proper guidance and advice it can be easy to hire the wrong person. We have developed a thorough and stringent process, so we connect as a team, and we all understand exactly what we are looking for, before we start the Nanny search.

There is no “quick fix” when it comes to childcare. If you cut corners and hire the incorrect person, this will negatively impact your timings, finances and experience of your child.

Join The Nanny Connection

If you are looking to join The Nanny Connection and are qualified in your field, have a true passion and enthusiasm for looking after children, we would love to hear from you.

Educating You to Become a Great Nanny Employer

We will make sure you fully understand what it requires to become a great employer; giving you confidence, knowledge and a quality selection of candidates. To maintain the highest possible professional standards, all of our candidates are qualified in childcare, and so have a base of knowledge in child development and key milestones, can provide educational activities that are enriching and fun and will be able to spot developmental, health or behavioural issues. Most importantly our qualified candidates will be able to emotionally connect with your child and will be confident in their knowledge and ability.
