Placement case studies
Temporary Nanny-Housekeeper Placement - Hampstead
Eva recently supported a Hampstead family requiring temporary childcare and household support for a four-week period while their regular nanny was unavailable. The role required a full-time nanny-housekeeper able to manage childcare responsibilities while also assisting with light household organisation. Eva identified candidates with both nanny and housekeeping experience who were comfortable stepping into a temporary household structure. Following interviews and a trial day, the family secured a nanny-housekeeper who provided reliable support throughout the four-week period, ensuring continuity for the children and maintaining the household routine.
Part-Time Nanny Placement (3 Days per Week) – Holland Park
Eva also managed a search for a family based in Holland Park seeking a part-time nanny to support their young children three days per week. The family required a candidate who could provide structured childcare during the day while supporting developmental activities and maintaining consistent routines. Eva carefully shortlisted experienced nannies with strong references and previous long-term placements. After coordinating interviews and a trial, the family successfully hired a nanny who now provides dependable childcare support three days per week.
