Find an Experienced Full-Time Nanny in London
Finding the right full-time nanny is about more than experience and availability. You need someone you can trust, who understands your family’s routine and can become a reliable and positive part of your children’s lives.
Nest & Kin is a boutique nanny agency helping families across London find experienced, carefully selected full-time nannies.
Whether you need a live-in nanny, live-out nanny, nanny-housekeeper or family assistant, we provide personal support throughout the recruitment process—from understanding your requirements and shortlisting candidates to arranging interviews, paid trials and the final placement.
A Personal Full-Time Nanny Search
Every family is different. Some parents need sole-charge care for a baby while returning to work, while others require support with several children, school runs, activities, meals and the organisation of everyday family life.
Before starting the search, we take the time to understand:
Your children’s ages, routines and personalities
Your required days and working hours
Childcare and household responsibilities
Your parenting approach and family values
The experience and personality you are looking for
Any language, driving or travel requirements
Rather than sending large numbers of CVs, we focus on introducing candidates whose experience, availability and personality genuinely suit your family.
Full-Time Nanny Services
We recruit for a range of permanent and temporary positions, including:
Full-time live-out nannies
Full-time live-in nannies
Nanny-housekeepers
Family assistants
Spanish-speaking and bilingual nannies
Nannies for babies and toddlers
Nannies for school-aged children
Nannies for multiple children
Temporary full-time nannies
Nannies who can travel with the family
Full-time nanny positions commonly involve approximately 40 to 60 hours per week, although every role is tailored to the family’s individual needs.
Live-Out Full-Time Nannies
A live-out nanny travels to the family’s home each working day and usually works a regular weekly schedule.
Responsibilities may include sole-charge childcare, planning age-appropriate activities, preparing children’s meals, managing children’s laundry, keeping bedrooms and play areas organised, arranging playdates and completing nursery or school runs.
Live-In Full-Time Nannies
A live-in nanny lives in accommodation provided by the family. This arrangement can offer additional flexibility and may suit families with long working days, early starts, several children or regular travel requirements.
Live-in nannies should have suitable private accommodation, clearly defined working hours and appropriate time off.
Nanny-Housekeepers and Family Assistants
Families who need wider household support may benefit from employing a nanny-housekeeper or family assistant.
Depending on the position, duties may include:
Childcare and school or nursery collections
Family cooking and meal preparation
Laundry and ironing
Grocery shopping and household errands
Keeping bedrooms and shared areas organised
Managing children’s activities and appointments
Light family administration
The balance between childcare and household responsibilities should always be clearly defined so that we can identify candidates who are genuinely experienced and comfortable with both aspects of the role.
Spanish-Speaking Nannies in London
Nest & Kin has a particular focus on Spanish-speaking and bilingual nannies.
A Spanish-speaking nanny can introduce children to the language naturally through conversation, stories, songs, games, meals and everyday routines.
We support Spanish-speaking families, bilingual households and parents who would simply like their children to experience another language from an early age.
Our Nanny Vetting Process
Trust is essential when welcoming someone into your home to care for your children.
Our recruitment and vetting process can include:
Personal candidate interviews
Identity and Right to Work checks
Enhanced DBS documentation
Paediatric First Aid certification
Employment history

We also consider the candidate’s personality, communication, expectations and compatibility with your family.
Families are encouraged to interview their preferred candidates carefully and arrange a paid trial before making a final offer.
