Find the right nanny for your family with The Nanny Connection, a London nanny recruitment agency specialising in matching families with experienced childcare professionals.

We help families across London recruit professional nannies for permanent and temporary positions, including live-in, live-out, full-time and rota arrangements.

Our personal approach starts with understanding your family’s childcare requirements, preferred working hours and the qualities that matter most to you. We then work to identify suitable candidates whose experience, qualifications and approach to childcare align with your needs.

Helping You Find The Right Nanny

The role of the Nanny is to become their caregiver and connect with their charges in the children’s own home. This could be as a sole charge nanny or a shared care nanny. They can work as a daily nanny, or a live in nanny.

Their duties include:

  • Feeding
  • Bathing
  • Children’s laundry and care of their clothes
  • Keeping their bedrooms, playrooms and nurseries clean and tidy
  • Responsible for creating enriching and developmental appropriate activities to encourage milestones and nurturing interests.

The benefits of choosing a Nanny as your chosen childcare is:

  • One to one care
  • A relaxed and familiar environment for the child
  • Tailored working hours to align with parents employment so there is a less need to rush back

What Types of Nanny Can We Help You Find?

The Nanny Connection helps families across London recruit nannies for different childcare arrangements, including full-time, live-in, live-out, temporary and rota positions.

The most suitable arrangement depends on your family’s working hours, childcare requirements and whether you need ongoing or short-term support.

Full-Time and Part-Time Nannies

A full-time nanny provides regular childcare across an agreed weekly schedule, while a part-time nanny generally works fewer hours.

The Nanny Connection currently recruits for positions requiring a minimum of 30 hours per week. If you are unsure whether your childcare requirements meet this minimum, please contact us to discuss your needs.

Live-In and Live-Out Nannies

A live-in nanny lives in the family home as part of their employment arrangement, while a live-out nanny travels to the home for their agreed working hours.

Both options provide childcare in the family’s home. The right choice depends on your household, available accommodation and preferred working arrangements.

Permanent and Temporary Nannies

A permanent nanny provides childcare on an ongoing basis, whereas a temporary nanny is employed for a defined period.

Families can discuss their requirements with The Nanny Connection to understand which arrangement would be more appropriate.

Rota Nannies

A rota nanny works according to an agreed rotating schedule rather than a standard daily or weekly pattern. This may suit families requiring a different approach to organising their childcare.

Which Type of Nanny Is Right for Your Family?

Choosing the right nanny depends on your family’s routine, working hours, childcare requirements and whether you need short-term or ongoing support.

Different arrangements offer different benefits, so it is worth considering what will work best for your household before beginning your search.

Type of Nanny What They Offer Who They May Suit
Full-Time Nanny Regular childcare across an agreed weekly schedule. Families needing consistent childcare for 30 hours or more per week.
Live-In Nanny A nanny who lives in the family home. Families who can provide suitable accommodation and prefer a residential childcare arrangement.
Live-Out Nanny A nanny who travels to the family home for agreed working hours. Families who want childcare at home without providing accommodation.
Permanent Nanny Ongoing childcare under an agreed employment arrangement. Families looking for continuity and a long-term childcare relationship.
Temporary Nanny Childcare for a defined period. Families requiring short-term cover or support for a specific period.
Rota Nanny Childcare organised around an agreed rotating schedule. Families whose childcare needs are better suited to a rota arrangement.
Here Are Some of the Qualifications That Our Nannies Will Have Studied:
  • NVQ Level 3 qualification in Childcare and Education
  • BTEC L3 in Children’s Play, Learning and Development
  • NNEB (Nursery Nurse Examining Board)
  • BA (Honours) Early Childhood, or Early Childhood and Youth Studies
  • Trained by Norland College and awarded the Norland Diploma and degree
  • Trained by Chiltern Training and awarded NVQ L3
  • Trained at Princess Christian College and awarded NNEB.

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’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!
