Nannies
The Northern Nanny Agency was established by a fully certified nanny with twenty years of experience working with kids and families. We are able to provide you with the typical agency services as well as the knowledge of having gone through the process ourselves. As a result, we have every confidence that we can locate the ideal match for you.
In order to make the transition from interview to opening as seamless as possible, we work with you to determine exactly what you are looking for.
Following our meeting, we will construct a personal file for you that will include all of your information, including your credentials, references, and resume, as well as any extra notes we took during the interview. After that, we’ll conduct our searches, prepare a match and send that information out to when we believe we have found a perfect match.
Daily Nannies
A daily nanny can work in either a sole care role (when parents are working or unavailable) or shared care (working alongside parents).
Daily nannies are responsible for all nursery duties related to the children. This typically includes:
- Bathing, dressing and general care
- Children’s laundry and ironing
- Preparing nutritious meals and snacks
- Keeping bedrooms, playrooms, and toys tidy
- Organising playdates, toddler groups, library visits and fun outings to the park
- School or nursery drop-offs and pick-ups
- Helping older children with homework and reading
- Proxy parenting if required due to parents travelling for work or leisure
Daily nannies also use their knowledge and creativity to support development through play. Activities can often include cooking, arts and crafts, reading, music, and age-appropriate games.
Live In Nannies
A live-in nanny can also be sole care or shared care depending on the family’s needs.
Live-in nannies provide all nursery duties for the children. In addition to the responsibilities of a daily nanny, they may also assist with bedtime routines. Typical duties include:
- Bathing, dressing, and settling children at bedtime when required
- Children’s laundry and ironing
- Preparing healthy meals and snacks
- Organising playdates, social activities and educational outings
- School or nursery runs, after-school activities and homework support
Live-in nannies are experienced in creating a stimulating environment and furthering development through play, with activities such as cooking, arts and crafts, reading, music and games.

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!!!
