Fox and Cubs - A London based Nanny Agency

We've got you covered

Trusted Nanny Agency for London Families & Beyond

At Fox and Cubs, we proudly support families across London, Greater London, the UK, and internationally. While our sister agency, French Nanny London, was born in Clapham, Fox and Cubs was created to extend the same trusted care to a broader, more diverse audience—offering exceptional English-speaking and multilingual nannies who bring calm, confidence, and connection into your home.

We’ve helped hundreds of families find nurturing, experienced nannies who feel like part of the family from the very first day. Whether you need full-time care, after-school support, or something more flexible, we take the time to understand your lifestyle, values, and expectations—and only introduce candidates who genuinely align.

While we specialise in English-speaking childcare, we also work with nannies fluent in a wide range of languages, including Spanish, Arabic, Mandarin, Portuguese, Italian, Greek, French, and more. We believe every family should have the option to raise children in a language and culture that feels most like home.

Whether you’re looking for a live-in nanny, live-out nanny, part-time or full-time nanny, after-school care, or a shared care arrangement, our experienced consultants will guide you at every step.

We also place maternity nurses, nanny housekeepers, personal assistants, and family cooks to support the wider needs of your household. Every professional we introduce is interviewed, reference-checked, and carefully vetted to ensure they meet our high standards—and yours.

Each nanny placed through Fox and Cubs has:

  • Solid childcare experience in private homes or educational settings

  • Verifiable references you can speak to directly

  • A valid enhanced DBS check

  • A Paediatric First Aid certificate or commitment to obtain one

  • A genuine passion for children, often paired with formal childcare training

Once you begin the search with us, you’ll receive a curated selection of candidates, each profile including:

  • A detailed CV outlining their experience, qualifications, and language skills

  • Personal insights from our consultants

  • Reference contact information

  • DBS and right-to-work confirmation

  • Availability, salary expectations, and notice period

At Fox and Cubs, we know that every family is unique—just like every nanny. That’s why our placements are tailored, considered, and designed to foster long-term harmony between your family and your caregiver.

Wherever you are in the UK or abroad, we’re here to help you find a nanny or household staff member who not only meets every practical need, but fits naturally into the rhythm of your family life.

We’d love to support you on that journey.
