Why Families Choose Fox & Cubs To Find A Nanny
Professional nannies
Live in nanny
Dedicated, full-time live in support within your home
A live-in nanny provides consistent, attentive care for your children while becoming a trusted and reliable presence within your household. Living in the home allows for continuity, flexibility, and seamless support tailored to your family’s routines and lifestyle.
From daily care and age-appropriate activities to supporting the smooth running of family life, a live-in nanny offers stability and reassurance, particularly for busy households or those requiring extended hours of support. Live-in nannies should be provided with a private bedroom and, where possible, a separate bathroom to ensure appropriate rest and privacy.
Live out nanny
Professional live out daily support tailored to your family
A live-out nanny provides consistent, high-quality childcare while maintaining clear boundaries between work and home life. This arrangement suits families who require reliable daily support during set hours while retaining flexibility and privacy within the household.
Live-out nannies support children’s routines, development, and wellbeing throughout the day, working closely with parents to ensure continuity and structure. This option is well suited to families seeking professional childcare without the need for live-in accommodation.
Part time nanny
Flexible part time support to fit your family’s schedule
A part-time nanny offers reliable, structured childcare for families who require support for fewer hours each week, including before- and after-school care. This option is ideal for families seeking consistency and professional support alongside school or nursery commitments.
Part-time nannies assist with school pick-ups, homework routines, activities, and daily care, working closely with parents to maintain structure and continuity, providing flexibility while ensuring a stable and well-managed arrangement for your family.
ROTA nanny
Full rota flexibility for busy and demanding homes
For families requiring consistent, high-level childcare with complete continuity, a rota nanny provides seamless, round-the-clock support.
Working on a structured rotation schedule (for example, one week on / one week off), ROTA nannies ensure your children benefit from stability, routine, and attentive care, even within demanding or internationally mobile households.
nannies can assist with:
Daily childcare routines, including meals, naps, and age-appropriate activities
School and nursery runs, including preparation and pick-ups
Supporting children’s learning, development, and play
Communicating regularly with parents to support continuity of care

FAQ
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.
We support families with a wide range of nanny placements, including live-in, live-out, part-time, full-time, and temporary nanny roles. Each role is structured around the family’s schedule, household set-up, and childcare needs, with placements available from 20 hours per week through to full-time support.
Each placement begins with a detailed consultation to understand your family’s routine, values, childcare philosophy, and practical requirements. We then carefully shortlist candidates based on experience, suitability, and long-term compatibility, ensuring each introduction is well aligned with the household rather than based solely on availability.
All nannies we recommend are personally known to us and carefully vetted. This includes in-depth interviews, detailed reference checks, DBS verification, confirmation of relevant experience, and right-to-work checks where applicable. We apply the same rigorous standards to both permanent and temporary nanny placements.
