When life feels like a juggling act, between work, home, school runs, and everything in between, having the right support can change everything. That’s where a nanny can make all the difference.
At The Northern Nanny & Housekeeping Agency, we know that choosing to bring a nanny into your home is a big decision. You want someone you can trust, someone who fits your family, and someone who will bring calm, care and consistency to your child’s world. But many families still ask the question: “Do we really need a nanny?”
Here’s why the answer might be yes.
Peace of mind
There’s nothing quite like knowing your children are in safe, loving hands. A professional nanny provides that peace of mind, whether you’re at work, attending meetings, or just needing a moment to breathe.
Our nannies are not just experienced and qualified, they are carefully selected and personally interviewed by us. We take the time to understand every candidate, so we can introduce you to someone who genuinely fits your family values and lifestyle.
Routine and Stability
Children thrive on routine, and a nanny can help maintain a consistent daily rhythm that supports your child’s development and emotional wellbeing. From morning routines to homework help, after-school activities to story time, having that familiar face each day helps create a calm and structured environment.
Personalised Support
Unlike nursery settings, a nanny’s care is completely tailored to your child. Whether your little one needs extra encouragement with reading, a patient hand with tricky emotions, or simply more one-to-one attention, a nanny meets your child right where they are.
At our agency, we match families with nannies who genuinely enjoy getting to know each child and who bring warmth, experience and a thoughtful approach to every day.
Flexibility for Busy Lives
Modern family life is busy and doesn’t always fit a 9–5 schedule. A nanny offers flexibility that many childcare options can’t. From school pickups to meal prep, holiday cover to occasional babysitting, a nanny can support your home in ways that are as practical as they are personal.
A Trusted Part of Your Family
Many of our clients tell us their nanny becomes more than just childcare, they become part of the family. Someone your children adore, someone you trust completely, and someone who brings lightness and calm to daily life.
That’s what we strive for in every placement. With over 20 years of personal experience in the private childcare sector, our founder Penny Ormerod understands just how important this bond is. Discretion, trust and a genuine love for working with families sit at the heart of everything we do.
