Temporary or permanent nanny agency

Our client-led service gives you the freedom to hire a nanny short-term or for longer engagements.

Temporary

Temporary

If you want to find a nanny for school holiday cover, to travel with the family for several weeks, or even over a single weekend, our temporary recruitment service is the ideal solution.

We offer payroll and contract services for temporary nannies. The simple process involves temps submitting a weekly timesheet, which is then paid by Tiger. This removes any liability and paperwork on your part, saving you time and stress.

Permanent

Permanent

When your work schedule or lifestyle requires a more regular childcare solution, you may find a nanny on a more permanent contract is necessary. If you wish to hire a nanny in this way, we advise a more meticulous selection and interviewing process, and can assist you in creating a detailed job specification to pinpoint the best nanny from our network.

Live-in Nanny

Live-in Nanny

If your household is equipped for it, you may wish to hire a rota nanny or live-in nanny. This is a good solution if you have an irregular schedule or working hours, or travel often. A live-in nanny can provide care from first thing in the morning until last thing at night, preparing breakfast and dinner, taking children to and from school, and other duties throughout the day.

We can also source live-in couples to cover a variety of household tasks alongside childcare.
