Where BIG Assistants Nourish Little Independent's
Maison de Nanny is a UK, Nanny and Au-Pair Agency supporting families Worldwide who want childcare that truly makes a difference.
Founded by a former nanny and au pair with over a decade of international experience, we specialise in thoughtful matching
— focusing on values, personality, and genuine presence, not just availability.
"Care Built On Presence, Not Just Supervision."
So, Why Are We Any Different?
We are Boutique by design, thoughtfully priced for families. Every nanny and au pair is personally guided through a hands-on, thoughtful process that goes far beyond standard interviews and surface-level checks. Of course, we cover all the essentials — experience, references, certifications, and safety — but where we differ is in how we connect with each individual.
Our interviews explore the real work of childcare: sensory play, creativity, emotional awareness, safety in everyday moments, curiosity, music, art, and how a caregiver shows up with presence and intention. Our reference checks aren’t just confirmations — they’re meaningful conversations designed to understand how a caregiver truly supports a child’s development.
We work directly and personally with every nanny, au pair, and family. We listen carefully. We read between the lines. We take time to understand your home, your values, and your child — because no two families are the same, and care should never feel generic.
How We Do It
-
Boutique by design
We work hands-on with every family, nanny, and au pair — no automated matching, no volume placements.
-
Out-of-the-box interviews
We ask thoughtful, unconventional questions that explore creativity, emotional awareness, calmness under pressure, and real-life childcare scenarios.
-
Deep focus on child development
We assess understanding of sensory play, engaging activities, emotional regulation, safety in everyday moments, and age-appropriate care.
-
Meaningful reference conversations
References aren’t tick-box checks. We ask how a caregiver supported development, handled challenges, built trust, and showed up consistently.
-
Presence over performance
We look at how caregivers connect with children — not just what they’ve done, but how they are with them.
-
Personal family consultations
We listen carefully to your home life, values, routines, and concerns — then guide you on what to ask and what truly matters.
-
Practical, genuinely helpful resources
We provide real guidance and tools for families and caregivers — not generic PDFs, but information you’ll actually use.
-
Care for caregivers too
We support nannies and au pairs with guidance, confidence, and thoughtful touches so they feel proud, comfortable, and supported in your home.

Finding an experienced and suitable nanny can be a long and challenging endeavour.
Especially thoughtfully matched nannies and au pairs for families who want more than safety — they want children who thrive in the right care.
Maison De Nanny simplifies the journey of finding the perfect Nanny or Au-Pair for your family. Our tailored approach connects you with highly qualified candidates who are committed and passionate about creating harmony in your home.
