Nanny Agency in St John’s Wood

Whether you are looking for a full-time nanny, part-time childcare, a nanny-housekeeper or support with a new baby, we provide a personal and carefully managed search from the first conversation through to placement.
Find a Nanny in St John’s Wood
Every family is different, which is why we don't believe in simply sending a large number of CVs.

Our Nanny Vetting Process
Trust is fundamental when inviting someone into your home to care for your children.
Depending on the position and candidate, our recruitment process can include reviewing:
✓ Professional childcare experience
✓ References from previous employers
✓ DBS documentation
✓ Paediatric First Aid
✓ Right to Work documentation
✓ Employment history and experience
Families are also encouraged to interview candidates carefully and arrange paid trials where appropriate before making their final decision.
A Personal Nanny Search
Nest & Kin is a London-based nanny and household staff agency offering a personal approach to recruitment.
When you register your search with us, we discuss your childcare requirements in detail before checking our network for suitable candidates.
We consider practical requirements such as working hours, location, experience, salary expectations and responsibilities, but we also look at the things that are harder to capture on a job description: personality, parenting style, communication and the type of relationship you would like your nanny to build with your children.
Suitable candidates are then introduced to you individually, allowing you to decide who you would like to interview and potentially invite for a paid trial
Professional Nannies for St John’s Wood Families
Families may need very different kinds of support at different stages of their children's lives.
For a family with a baby, the priority may be finding someone experienced with feeding, naps, weaning and developmental milestones.
For families with school-aged children, the role may involve school collections, homework, activities, preparing dinner and keeping busy afternoons organised.
Other households may need someone who can combine childcare with light household responsibilities, family cooking or general family-assistant duties.
We therefore focus on finding a nanny whose experience matches the actual requirements of your home rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
Nanny Salaries in St John’s Wood
Nanny salaries can vary considerably depending on the nanny's experience, qualifications, working hours and the responsibilities involved.
As a general guide, experienced professional live-out nannies in London commonly look for approximately £18–£24 gross per hour, although highly experienced candidates or positions involving additional responsibilities may command higher salaries.
We can discuss realistic salary expectations with you before beginning the search so that your position is competitive within the current London nanny market.
