FAQ
All professionals we recommend are personally known to us and carefully vetted. This includes interviews, reference checks, verification of experience, DBS checks where applicable, and confirmation of right to work. Both housekeepers and nanny-housekeepers follow the same rigorous selection process.
Housekeeping roles may be structured as live-in or live-out, depending on the family’s needs and available accommodation. Live-in housekeepers typically suit larger or more demanding households, while live-out roles are common for families seeking structured daily support during set hours.
Yes. We place both part-time and full-time housekeepers, with roles available from 20 hours per week through to full-time positions. We advise families on the most suitable arrangement based on the size of the household, workload, and level of support required.
A nanny-housekeeper supports childcare alongside child-related and light household tasks. This may include caring for children during agreed hours, preparing meals for the children, tidying play areas, managing children’s laundry, and supporting daily routines. The balance between childcare and housekeeping is clearly defined before placement.
A housekeeper focuses on the smooth day-to-day running of the home, including cleaning, laundry, and household organisation. A nanny-housekeeper combines childcare with light housekeeping duties, typically balancing care of the children alongside maintaining the home. We help families determine which role best suits their household structure, priorities, and daily routine.
