A private nanny agency founded by experienced childcare professionals — placing predominantly western, British and European nannies, governesses, and maternity nurses with families worldwide for over 20 years.
Niche Nannies is a private childcare agency specialising in the placement of nannies, governesses, and maternity nurses with discerning families across the UK, Europe, and internationally. Our founders are former childcare professionals themselves — bringing firsthand knowledge of what families genuinely need and what makes a placement last.
Our candidates are predominantly sourced through trusted personal introductions, and many of our client families come to us by recommendation. This relationship-led approach keeps our network curated rather than simply large — and it means both sides of every introduction have been considered with genuine care.
We present only those candidates we believe are well suited to your specific household, lifestyle, and expectations. Every stage of the process is managed by us: initial consultation, candidate shortlisting, interview coordination, trial days, and continued support once a placement is made. Our involvement does not end at the point of hire.
All candidates undergo a thorough vetting process conducted either in person or by detailed virtual interview. This covers full identity and right-to-work verification, qualification and certification checks, enhanced background screening, and direct reference calls with a minimum of two to three previous employers. Written references are obtained wherever possible. Only candidates who meet our standards are introduced to families.
We are committed to transparency, discretion, and long-term results — for both the families we serve and the professionals we represent.
