We specialise in providing exclusive childcare and housekeeping services to private households. Placing only the most experienced and accomplished nannies and housekeepers to families throughout the North.
As a working mum of two young children, I understand how difficult it is to juggle everything and create the perfect work/life/home balance. I am here to ensure your family’s needs are met and I will do all I can to make sure your lives run as smoothly as possible.
The Northern Nanny Agency was founded by Penny Ormerod, who has worked as a private nanny since 1994 and whose job has taken her all across the United Kingdom, to the United States, Dubai and beyond.
Throughout the years, she has worked with a number of families, all of whom have provided her with exemplary personal and professional references.
Penny has personal experience dealing with high-profile families as well as professional families. Her clients include professional sports people and high profile business executives. When it comes to any role, maintaining privacy and discretion is of the utmost importance. Penny has a strong awareness of the private staffing sector and thanks to her experience, professional reputation, and knowledge she has a unique perspective on the industry. Additional factors that are highly sought by her clients are her enthusiasm, discretion and professionalism.
Penny Hickey
MANAGING DIRECTOR
What sets Penny apart is her dedication to finding the perfect fit for families, whatever their requirements. Penny will scour her large resources, trusted practitioners and contacts that have been built over almost 30 years of trust, professionalism and reputation. It is because of this that the majority of our work comes from personal recommendations from families we have worked with. Our wonderful clients recommend us to their friends and families, and we could not be happier or more proud.
Selecting candidates from such a high quality pool of potential employees is the reason that Penny has clients returning when they are blessed with more children. Penny has the connections, the experience and the knowledge of the sector that few others have. Let Penny find your perfect match, whether a maternity nanny, nurse or housekeeper.

I just wanted to say Thankyou for finding us our very own Mary Poppins. It is very easy to see that Penny works extremely hard on behalf of her nannies and the families, only the highest calibre of nannies came through my front door. Every nanny that we interviewed spoke so highly of Penny, too. I’m not sure if it’s the fact that Penny has got 20 years of nannying experience behind her or just that she is very intuitive but whatever it is she is amazing at her job!!!
