This agency is such a great agency to work through. Holly helped guide me through the process of becoming Ofsted registered a while back when I was very new to nannying professionally, and she's been very kind and supportive while I've been job hunting recently. I have worked some fantastic temporary bookings in the past few months which have been… so fun. After some trial shifts I had my first proper day at my new long term job yesterday and couldn't be happier. I wouldn't have found this job or any of my previous temporary bookings without the agency and I'm so glad I enrolled! 😁

I have been signed up to the parent and child nanny agency for a good few years now but never needed work until now, but Hollie has always been fantastic with emailing job opportunities or extra babysits over, and keeping intouch. i have just been placed with a fantastic family and extremely good communication for this to happen even through covid and social changes.. Highly recommend.

We had a great experience with the agency. We needed a childcarer at very short notice to look after 4 boys whilst we attended our fathers funeral away from home. Holly was super helpful, and the service received was a high standard. The nanny herself was super and we completely had the stress taken away from us.

Holly is efficient and goes above and beyond in finding the right nanny for circumstance. Finances were clearly and concisely explained with total transparency. We had an excellent experience at a time of great difficulty following an unexpected and serious diagnosis of mum with baby of 4 months and toddler. Holly went out of her way to find the… best person possible for the job and she certainly delivered. The nanny was exceptionally adept at not only taking over the little ones with care and compassion but supporting us all whilst fitting in seamlessly into the household. I know that Holly
