Why a nanny agency?

Finding the right person to care for your child is one of the most important decisions you’ll make but it can be a daunting prospect. A good nanny can make the world of difference. Find the right person and you’ll be able to leave for work guilt-free, focus on your job when you get there and even enjoy a relaxed evening out, knowing your child is in the capable hands of the nanny.

Putting up your own adverts, setting up interviews and properly vetting a prospective nanny can be done on your own but it’s a big job. Parents can make the mistake of trying to meet too many potential nannies, which can be tiring for them and confusing for the children.

A detailed set of questions that cover everything from a nanny’s hobbies and interests to what they would feed your child is vital and can be asked over the phone to weed out people who immediately don’t fit the bill. Finding the perfect match takes time and skill and that’s where an experienced and professional nanny agency can really help. We are not afraid to ask all the important questions to both the family and the prospective carer so only the most suitable matches meet up.

At Cupcakes Nanny Agency we meet our nannies in person at our London office. All our nannies and au pairs have to have at least 2 years previous experience and we thoroughly check their references, run the necessary police checks/CRB checks etc. We even run in house MNT (maternity nurse training) & first aid courses for nannies and au pairs. Our careful screening process is designed to ensure we only sign up the most suitable carers around for the safety, well being and development of your child. You can’t cut corners here but it’s surprising how many parents do when they’re trying to find someone at short-notice while juggling a hectic work life.

An extra pair of hands can really smooth family life.
We keep in touch with families and hear stories of children brimming with confidence while mum and dad find they’ve suddenly got some quality of life back.
