Find a London Based Nanny
We work with caring, passionate, and reliable people who not only support a child’s emotional well-being but also assist with daily tasks.
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. |
