Reliable childcare experts in Mayfair

Trusted house staff agency serving Mayfair since 2012.

In Mayfair, excellence and discretion go hand in hand — and the families we work with expect nothing less when it comes to support at home. At Fox and Cubs, we’ve helped a number of Mayfair households find trusted, highly capable home staff who blend seamlessly into daily life. Whether you’re seeking a nanny, maternity nurse, housekeeper, cook, or personal assistant, we take a tailored, thoughtful approach to every placement. No two homes are alike, and our focus is always on finding someone who brings quiet confidence, professionalism, and a perfect fit for your household.

 

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 Mayfair based families come to us for a wide range of support — and we meet that need with a handpicked selection of:

 

  • Live-in and live-out nannies

  • 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 Mayfair 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:

 

  • Full CVs outlining experience, specialties, and personality fit
  • Consultants carefully review and shortlist profiles, selecting only those they believe are the best match for your family’s unique needs

  • Verified references with direct contact details

  • Confirmation of DBS and right to work

  • Salary expectations, availability, and notice period

 

We know that no two families are the same. That’s why we’re focused on more than just ticking boxes. Our mission is to introduce professionals who will genuinely enhance your home life — who bring structure, warmth, and reliability so you can focus on what matters most.

 

Whether you’ve just moved to Mayfair or have long called it home, Fox and Cubs is here to provide the kind of support that blends seamlessly into your family’s lifestyle — with the utmost discretion, care, and attention to detail.

FAQS

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. We recommend using a payroll service that specialises in nanny employment to handle these responsibilities efficiently. Our agency can connect you with trusted payroll providers, and guide you through the process.

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.
