Recruiting First Class Nannies, Governesses, Governor's, Tutors & Household Staff
Welcome Candidates
Our candidates deserve the very best service that we as a recruitment agency can provide. We have worked in private residence and schools in the UK and internationally. Both demanding, although in different ways, even challenging at times, but equally rewarding.
Are you are a committed and dedicated Nanny, Manny, Maternity Nanny, Governess, Governor, Tutor or Qualified Teacher? Or Housekeeper, House Manager, Butler, Chef, or other private household staff member seeking your next position in the UK or overseas? If so, we would like to hear from you. We have worked in the industry including fully staffed homes, so we understand wholeheartedly what it is like to be in your shoes.
Our clients
We represent clients from the UK and around the world ranging from business professionals to high profile families for whom many lead an international lifestyle. Homes range from informal to formal and often fully staffed; it is imperative that you are able to work effectively within a team, as you are independently. They require the best and expect nothing less from those they employ when it comes to caring and educating their children, or providing an exemplary service in your chosen domestic household role.
Our clients often travel for business or pleasure and you will be more often than not, expected to travel with them, unless agreed otherwise, but will vary from one family to another and usually highlighted as part of your contractual duties. However, some roles will require you to travel extensively and sometimes at short notice, so you need to be comfortable with this, before committing yourself to such roles; this applies predominantly to those employed in childcare or education, but may apply to other household staff member's dependent on the family's specific requirements and needs.

The same qualities apply to Household Staff whilst maintaining a high level of standard and service within your specified role.
