Finding that ‘perfectly suited’ someone

We specialise in introducing families to experienced English-speaking British and European nannies, governesses, and maternity nurses. Many within our network are bilingual and hold recognised childcare qualifications, with some having Montessori, Waldorf or Norland training. Above all, they are dedicated childcare professionals.

Founded by experienced childcare professionals, Niche Nannies is a private nanny agency with more than 20 years of experience placing carefully selected British and European nannies, governesses, and maternity nurses with families around the world. Our approach is personal and discreet, shaped by a thorough understanding of both the families we support and the professional childcare practitioners we represent. Over the years, our carefully curated network of childcare professionals has been sought by families across the UK, Europe, Monaco, The French Riviera and the Middle East, including in London, Prague, Athens, Abu Dhabi, and Dubai.
