Excellence in British Childcare and Education for Elite Households Worldwide

At Great British Nannies, we are more than simply a nanny recruitment agency. We are dedicated to offering a bespoke approach to meeting your family’s unique childcare and educational needs wherever you are in the world from the U.K. and Cyprus,to Dubai- we operate internationally . We hold experience working with VIP and high-net-worth families and understand that discretion and privacy is of the utmost of importance. Our commitment is to provide you with the right candidate who will not only provide exceptional care for your children, but who will also contribute to their educational and personal development. We appreciate that your children are your priority and finding them the right caregiver is paramount. Be assured that we behave as a partner for fulfilling this role, with our candidates reflecting the prestigious standards that British nannies are renowned for.

Our Mission: Uniting Families with Exceptional Care and a Personal Touch

Our mission is simple: to ensure that every family we serve receives the highest standard of care, education, and support. We understand that hiring a nanny, governess, or tutor is one of the most important decisions you will make for your family, and we are here to guide you through every step of the process. Typically, our service doesn’t simply end once the contract is signed; we continue to offer support and mentorship throughout the tenure, ensuring that both the family and the nanny, tutor or governess that we place with you, thrive.

Our British Heritage: Dedication to Standards and Education

Great British Nannies is a reflection of the values and standards that are synonymous with British childcare- education, professionalism, and a commitment to excellence. We are different from other nanny agencies because we are selective in the roles we take on, allowing us to give focused attention to each client and candidate during the recruitment process. This dedication ensures that every placement is harmonious, fulfilling, and beneficial to your child’s educational journey. Which is our ultimate aim. 

Our Story: Passion, Precision, and Personal Experience

Great British Nannies was founded out of a deep passion for working closely with families and a commitment to making meaningful, lasting placements. Ten years ago, our founder, Cleo,  was inspired by her own experiences as a nanny and governess, and identified the need for an agency that truly understands the dynamics of high-net-worth households. Having personally worked with families from various backgrounds, including VIPs, Cleo gained invaluable insights into the very specific requirements of both the families and of the childcare providers. This experience fuels our ongoing mission to create successful matches that stand the test of time.

Harmony in the home for all parties is not only possible, but, we believe, essential, and made possible with the right match of family, role and candidate.

Our Values: Integrity, Professionalism, and Authentic Connection

Our agency is built on the values of honesty, integrity, and professionalism, coupled with a warm, welcoming approach to nanny recruitment. We believe that every client and candidate deserves to feel well cared for throughout the entire process. With other agencies that deal in volume, or have a less robust way of working or process, this isn’t always the reality. As a family-run business, we take pride in offering a personal touch—every client knows exactly who they are dealing with, and every candidate is more than just a name on a list. We are able to make authentic connections because of our ways of working.   

How We Work: Thorough, Discreet, and Tailored to You

Your safety, security, and satisfaction are our top priorities. Our meticulous screening process is designed to ensure that we only present you with the most qualified and suitable candidates. We take the time to personally register and get to know each applicant, conducting detailed interviews and thorough background checks, including ID verification, police checks, and educational qualifications.

When it comes to selecting your nanny, governess, or tutor, we won’t overwhelm you with options. Instead, we carefully hand select a small selection of the very best candidates who closely match your family’s specific needs. This tailored approach not only saves you time but also ensures a higher likelihood of finding the perfect fit.

Continued Support: We’re With You Every Step of the Way

At Great British Nannies, our commitment to you doesn’t end when a candidate is placed. We maintain ongoing communication with both families and candidates, offering support and mentorship throughout the duration of the contract. Our goal is to ensure that both parties are satisfied and that the placement remains a positive experience for everyone involved.

Testimonials

Josephine V.

Cleo and Great British Nannies have provided us with an excellent service. Having looked at another agency, I went with Cleo because she took the time to understand my requirements, my family environment and me as a person to place the right kind of nanny with us. She is extremely dedicated and efficient and I was able to put my trust in her wholeheartedly to enable her to place a nanny that was an excellent fit into our family.

Raha T.

I came to GBN seeking a governess position. I found Cleo both professional and friendly and a lady who was easily accessible. She is organised and direct and gave consideration to my thoughts and needs. A very easy and comfortable company to deal with which also extends to Cleo’s staff. I would be pleased to work with GBN again in the future.

Stephen S.

Her two younger siblings out grew the need for a nanny and recently parted company with her but she did the family proud and leaves behind two fluent English speaking children and memories they will cherish for years to come.
