Reliable childcare experts in Chelsea
Trusted house staff agency serving Chelsea since 2012.
Chelsea is a neighbourhood full of busy households and high standards — and we’ve been proud to support many families from the area over the years. At Fox and Cubs, we understand that when it comes to home staff, trust and quality are everything. Whether you’re looking for a professional nanny, a calm and capable maternity nurse, a discreet housekeeper, or a confident PA, we take time to get it right. We know that every home has its own way of doing things, and our job is to find someone who not only meets your expectations, but quietly enhances day-to-day life.
Whether you’re a new parent navigating early days with your baby or a busy professional family in need of reliable support, we’re here to make sure your home runs smoothly and joyfully. Our Chelsea based families come to us for a wide range of support — and we meet that need with a handpicked selection of:

Nanny-housekeepers who balance nurturing care with household efficiency
Maternity nurses specialising in newborn care, sleep routines, and feeding support
Private family cooks to bring warmth and nutrition to your table
Discreet and trusted personal assistants to help manage the day-to-day details of a full household
At Fox and Cubs, our approach is deeply personal. We take time to understand the rhythm of your home, your parenting style, and what truly matters to you — whether it’s a bilingual nanny who can reinforce a second language, a housekeeper who brings quiet professionalism, or a maternity nurse who feels like part of the family from day one.
Every candidate we introduce in Chelsea has been thoroughly interviewed, reference-checked, and vetted. Most bring years of private household experience and come with relevant qualifications including Paediatric First Aid and Enhanced DBS checks. When we send you profiles, you’ll receive:

FAQS
How does the tax and payroll process work when employing a nanny with your Nanny Agency?
As an employer, you are responsible for managing your nanny’s payroll, which means they become an employee and you are liable to pay employer taxes, including National Insurance contributions.

Our agency can connect you with trusted payroll providers, and guide you through the process.
How long does the placement process take?
The placement process can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on your specific requirements and the availability of suitable nannies.
