Live in Nannies
We've got you covered
Thinking about welcoming a live-in nanny into your home?
What is the role of a live-in nanny in London?
If you’ve decided that hiring a nanny is the best childcare solution for your family, choosing a live-in nanny in London can bring a wide range of benefits. From highly personalised care to added flexibility in your daily routine, a live-in arrangement offers a dependable, tailored approach to meeting your children’s needs.
With a nanny, you gain the peace of mind that comes from knowing exactly who is caring for your children each day. Unlike nurseries, there are no waiting lists or unfamiliar rotating staff – instead, you benefit from a stable, consistent caregiver who builds a strong relationship with your family over time.
Live-in nannies are especially valuable for busy households, offering practical, hands-on support throughout the day and evening. Because they live in your home, they can be available outside of standard working hours – which means you have help during early mornings, evenings, or whenever your schedule becomes unpredictable. While live-in nannies typically reside in the home full-time, part-time arrangements can also be made. It’s essential to provide them with their own bedroom and, ideally, access to a private bathroom, ensuring they have the space and comfort they need.

Peace of Mind
Know who’s caring for your children at all times.
Stronger Bonds

Flexibility
Help during early mornings, evenings or when your schedule changes.
Daily Responsibilities
Childcare & Routine
The huge benefit of having live-in help is that you have support at times of day when you might need it most – including bedtimes and first thing in the morning.
Light Household Duties
Learning & Development
Your nanny will support your child’s development through age-appropriate activities such as reading, arts and crafts, and trips to the park or library.
Homework & Supervision
They can assist with homework, encourage focus and structure, and support daily routines like bathing and dressing.
Clear Role Expectations
Heavy cleaning or cooking for the whole family is typically not included unless agreed beforehand. Tasks may evolve over time through open communication.
Cultural & Language Advantage
The Added Value of a Live-In Nanny
If your live-in nanny speaks another language — such as French, Spanish, or Portuguese — your children benefit from day-long immersion. This improves their understanding, vocabulary, and confidence in the language.
These nannies also bring cultural traditions and a global outlook into your home, enriching your child’s learning experience from an early age.
Respecting Your Live-In Nanny’s Space and Time
Even though your live-in nanny becomes a trusted part of your household, it’s important to respect their personal time and space when they’re off duty. Just as they understand your family’s need for privacy, they too should feel they have a comfortable environment to relax and recharge. Setting clear boundaries from the beginning helps foster a healthy and respectful household dynamic.
