All our Holiday Nannies are qualified or experienced child-carers with the majority being off-duty Nannies, Childminders, Teachers and Ofsted registered childcare professionals.
All Nannies registered with The Parent & Child Nanny Agency are met and interviewed by us, hold a DBS Enhanced Disclosure and have been thoroughly vetted, id and reference checked for complete peace of mind.

0 – 3 months | 1 Holiday Nanny to each child |

Every booking is unique, so the agency will evaluate all aspects of each booking to determine how many holiday nannies are required to ensure full safety. We will consider ages, abilities, sole or shared charge, responsibilities, special/additional needs and location.
