Find a Nanny Who Suits Your Family
Every family works differently. Some parents need full-time childcare around work and commuting. Others need support with school runs, nursery drop-offs, homework or care during the school holidays. Some need the support of a SEN nanny.
We begin by learning about your children, household and normal week. We will discuss the hours you need, the duties involved and the type of person who is likely to work well within your home.
We then recruit suitable nannies in Beaconsfield and the wider Home Counties. Candidates are interviewed before being introduced, and we carefully review their experience, previous employment and references. You will then be able to select your preferred nanny from a bespoke shortlist.
Nanny Services in Beaconsfield
We recruit for a range of permanent and temporary nanny positions.
Live-out nannies work agreed hours in your home and return to their own home at the end of the day. This is a good option for families who need regular professional childcare but do not want a member of staff living in the household.
Live-in nannies are accommodated in your home, and work agreed hours. This arrangement provides greater flexibility for families with long working days, regular travel or changing schedules. A live-in nanny is not expected to be available at all times, so working hours, rest periods and boundaries will be clearly set out before employment begins.
Nanny-housekeepers combine childcare with agreed household duties. Depending on your household needs, responsibilities may cover children’s laundry, family meals, keeping play and nursery areas organised, light cleaning and general household assistance. We will take the time to understand your needs, so we can establish the balance between nanny and housekeeping duties you are looking to achieve.
Nanny grooms take on the role of caring for your stables as well as childcare duties. Depending on your needs, these nannies may be able to take on light housekeeping duties, as well as equine care and nanny responsibilities.
We also offer a range of housekeeping staff and household services staff for families that need support with upkeep and running their house.
How a Nanny will Support Your Daily Family Life
A nanny provides practical, consistent support around your family’s normal routine.
Depending on the age of your children and the role agreed, this may include:
- Caring for babies, toddlers and pre-school children
- Nursery and school runs
- Preparing meals and snacks
- Arranging playdates and activities
- Supporting homework and reading
- Helping children follow familiar routines
- Taking children to clubs and appointments
- Organising children’s clothes and belongings
- Supporting families during school holidays
- Travelling with the family where needed
An experienced nanny can also support children’s development through play, conversation, outdoor activities and age-appropriate learning.
The nanny’s role should reflect your family rather than a standard job description. Some parents need structured support throughout the week. Others need fewer hours or help during particularly busy periods.
Carefully Vetted Nanny Candidates
We have spent over twenty years making the hiring process clear and easy for families.
Nannies Matter vets and interviews all candidates before they are introduced to clients. This screening process includes:
- Identity and right-to-work checks
- An enhanced DBS check
- Previous work experience
- References from former employers
- Relevant childcare qualifications
- Checking for or supplying training for the latest Paediatric First Aid qualification
We also look beyond formal experience. We look for important skills like patience, kindness, reliability, communication and a positive attitude, before putting someone forward to care for your children in your home.
Some families need a nanny with particular skills, such as newborn experience, SEN knowledge, bilingual ability or experience working overseas. We will take these requirements into account during the search.
Interviews and Trial Days
Once you receive your shortlist, you can interview the candidates and ask about their experience, approach and current role. You can read more on what questions to ask in our nanny interview question guide.
A paid trial day can also help both sides make a more informed decision. It gives the family an opportunity to see how the nanny communicates with the children, responds to the normal routine and fits into the household.
The trial should reflect the real role as closely as possible. It might include a school run, mealtime, play session or part of the usual afternoon routine.
It is also an opportunity for the nanny to decide whether the position and family are right for them.
An interview and a short trial are usually all it takes to know that you have found your perfect nanny.
Help with Employing a Nanny
Our role doesn't stop with supplying your ideal nanny. When you hire a nanny, you normally become their employer. This brings responsibilities relating to pay, tax, National Insurance, pensions, contracts and paid leave.
Beyond making sure everything is in place for a great first day we will continue to offer guidance on everything you need to consider as an employer. We will also point you towards appropriate payroll and employment support from our trusted network.
Why Families Choose Nannies Matter
Nannies Matter has supported families across London and the Home Counties since the early 2000s.
The agency was created after its founders experienced how difficult it could be to find a nanny who genuinely suited their own family. That experience shaped a more personal approach based on listening first and matching carefully.
Families choose us because we provide:
- A dedicated and personal service
- Detailed knowledge of the Home Counties
- Face-to-face candidate interviews
- Thorough vetting and reference checks
- A carefully selected shortlist
- Support throughout the hiring process
- Guidance after a placement has been made
Our aim is not simply to fill a vacancy. It is to introduce candidates who could become a reliable and valued part of your family life.
What Families Say About Nannies Matter
Below is a selection of testimonials from our clients in the Beaconsfield area:
We’ve had a great experience
Mrs Seer Green
"Nannies Matter coming to see you at home provides them with the best insight into matching candidates with families. They were very efficient in providing candidates and organising interviews, even at short notice. They then followed up on candidates and interviews over a bank holiday weekend to help meet our urgent need for a new nanny. I will use Nannies Matter when we are next looking for a nanny and would highly recommend them to others.”
“We were very impressed with your service in particular, the fact that you visited and did everything you could to help find someone at short notice was great.”
Mr E:
“Jo is fitting in really well. We found Nannies Matter extremely helpful and responsive. Your experience and the time you took to understand our requirements was also very reassuring. Thanks - we wouldn't hesitate to contact you again (a lot further down the line hopefully!)".
