Burlington Nanniess is definitely one of the most professional and supportive Agencies in London. I am registered with a few agencies but can say hand in heart Burlington is one of the best of not the best .
Natasha is very professional, happy and helpful she always kept in contact to find out how I was getting on and everything ok. Natasha always does this with all her candidates as a few of my friends have said the same . You were never ignored after a placement. She genuinely cares for all her candidates and clients . Which sadly to say many agencies dont !! They are not interested

Natasha is simply the best recruiter in London - she cuts through the often tedious and time consuming recruitment process, she intrinsically knows and has the rare ability to understand and match up the perfect candidates knowing that the private household recruitment requirements for absolute trust, loyalty and security are paramount. We have worked together for over 10 years, she has recruited for numerous positions (30+) for my clients from Nannies, Maternity Nurses and PA's. She does not waste either sides time, and really has the most remarkable ability placing for the positions which reflects

Great agency who believed in me when other agencies wouldn't give me a chance. Having only worked in schools and children's care homes I was finding it very hard to find a job with a family. Natasha Earl saw the potential in me and gave me a great opportunity to find a placement in Moscow. I was very nervous amount packing my case and moving abroad, yet Natasha was incredibly supportive and talked me through the whole process and put my mind at ease. Additionally her admin staff are great and help when I have not been able to reach Natasha and speak with her directly. Anyone looking for an agency

Burlington Nannies is an amazing agency, Natasha (owner) is incredible. Natasha is very supportive, professional and kind. Throughout my time at Burlingtons, Natasha has made me feel that she truly holds my best interests at heart and goes above and beyond to ensure you are prepared and placed with the perfect family. I am truly grateful that I am a nanny for Burlington Nannies and for the hard work Natasha puts in for making my profession the best it can be. Natasha saw great potential in me and always makes me feel like she has a lot of time for me. I recommend using Burlington Nannies!
