Handpicked Nannies is a family-run childcare recruitment agency based in Essex, covering all areas in Essex. We pride ourselves on our personal touch by working closely with families; this involves a home visit to establish your exact requirements to suit your family and to ensure we find the perfect nanny for you. We meet all of our nannies face to face, they are all thoroughly reference and DBS checked, hold a paediatric first aid certificate, provide photo identification, level 3 child care qualification or stand out with a proven track record. Our bespoke service will provide you with one-to-one care in the surroundings of your own home. We understand that quality childcare is expensive, but you will be surprised how the cost of employing a private nanny compares to group nursery care. Our aim is to offer an affordable service which is best for your family and most importantly your precious children.
