Our Childcare Services

Full-Time & Part-Time Nannies

Ideal for families who need regular support during the week. Nannies can assist with daily routines, school runs, preparing meals for children, light tidying related to the kids, playtime, outdoor activities, homework support, and age-appropriate learning.

Babysitters & Occasional Care

Perfect for evenings out, weekends, appointments, or backup care when your regular arrangements fall through. We work with reliable babysitters who are comfortable stepping in and following your household routines, even if it’s just for a few hours.

Live-In & Live-Out Nannies

For families requiring more consistent support, a live-in nanny can provide flexibility and stability, especially with young children or busy schedules. Live-out nannies come to your home on a set schedule and are a great option for families who prefer clear start and finish times each day.

Overnight & Newborn Care

Night nannies and newborn care specialists support parents in the early months with feedings, diaper changes, soothing, and establishing routines. This service is especially helpful for families welcoming a new baby, twins, or managing recovery after birth.

Mother’s Helpers & Family Assistants

A mother’s helper works alongside a parent in the home, offering an extra set of hands with childcare, light household tasks, and daily logistics. This is an excellent option for parents working from home or those who simply need a bit more support during busy periods.

Our Screening & Matching Process

1. Initial consultation
   We speak with you to understand your family’s needs, schedule, expectations, parenting style, and budget.
2. Caregiver pre-screening
   We review applications, interview potential candidates, and verify their experience, references, and qualifications.
3. Shortlist of candidates
   You receive profiles of the most suitable nannies or babysitters, tailored to your specific requirements.
4. Family interviews
   You meet your preferred candidates in person or by video call, ask questions, and see how they interact with your children.
5. Selection & placement
   Once you choose a caregiver, we assist with next steps and help clarify expectations, schedules, and responsibilities.
6. Follow-up support
   We check in after placement and remain available if your needs evolve or you require additional assistance.

Safety, Reliability & Peace of Mind

Your child’s safety is our highest priority. We work only with caregivers who demonstrate professionalism, responsibility, and genuine care for children. As part of our process, we:

• Interview candidates about their experience, training, and approach to childcare.
• Verify references from previous families or employers wherever possible.
• Discuss First Aid / CPR training and comfort level with different age groups and situations.
• Encourage families to request additional background checks if needed and to follow their own safety procedures at home.

We also guide parents on best practices for a safe and positive working relationship: setting clear expectations, trial shifts, and regular check-ins.

Can you help with occasional or last-minute babysitting?

Yes. While availability may vary, we do work with babysitters who can provide occasional, evening, or weekend care, subject to their schedules.
