Every role is tailored to your family’s needs, with candidates carefully selected for their experience, discretion, and genuine dedication.
How It Works
Our process is designed to take the stress away:

- We guide you through every stage of the placement, including contracts and ongoing support once the role begins.
Our Expertise
The agency was founded by Penny Ormerod, a former nanny with more than 25 years of first-hand experience working with families. This background gives us a unique perspective and a genuine understanding of the trust that is needed in the home. Many of our placements come through word of mouth, as families and professionals recommend us with confidence.
Ongoing Relationship
Our work does not stop once a placement is confirmed. We continue to check in, provide support and remain available for advice. As your family grows or circumstances change, we are here to help you find the right solution. For us, it is about building lasting relationships that support you at every stage and navigate you through whatever life may throw at you.

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!!!
