Your nanny is not your housekeeper 👀

One of the most common issues I see between families and nannies? Unclear expectations.

There’s nothing wrong with needing extra help around the home — but if you need childcare and housekeeping, make sure you’re hiring for the right role and that responsibilities are agreed from the beginning.

Clear expectations = happier families + happier nannies.

Not sure whether you need a nanny, nanny-housekeeper or family assistant? Get in touch — I’m always happy to guide you in the right direction.

“Your child was an angel all day!” 😇

…and then you walk through the door and suddenly EVERYTHING changes.

More tears. More demands. More big feelings.

Children often show different sides of themselves with different caregivers — and sometimes home, with the people they feel most secure with, is where all those emotions finally come out.

So no, it doesn’t automatically mean they “behave better” for the nanny.

Parents… please tell me I’m not the only one who’s seen this happen 😂👇

📚 Back to School Tip | Creating Calm After Summer

The transition back to school can feel exciting... but also overwhelming—for children and parents alike.

Instead of trying to change everything overnight, focus on small, consistent routines that help your child feel safe and settled.

✨ A few simple tips:
• Start bedtime 15–20 minutes earlier a few days before school starts.
• Prepare uniforms, school bags and lunches the night before.
• Keep mornings calm and avoid rushing where possible.
• Remember that big emotions are completely normal during the first week back.
• After school, give your child a little time to decompress before asking lots of questions about their day.

Children thrive on routine—but routines take time to build.

🤍 A little reminder for parents: Be kind to yourself. The start of a new school year can feel overwhelming, and no one gets it perfect. Small, consistent routines are far more powerful than trying to do everything at once.

Wishing all our wonderful families a happy, calm and successful start to the new school year! ✨

You don’t need to entertain your newborn all day.

In those early weeks, your baby learns so much simply by being close to you. Looking at your face, listening to your voice, cuddles, feeding and everyday moments are all helping their development.

Sometimes we put so much pressure on ourselves to do more, when simply being present is exactly what they need.

A little behind the scenes at Nest & Kin 🤍

There’s so much more that goes into finding the right nanny than simply sending a CV.

From reviewing applications and checking experience, to DBS, First Aid, Right to Work, references and getting to know each nanny personally — a lot happens before a profile reaches one of our families.

And then comes the most important part: finding the right match. ✨

Every family is different, and every nanny is different. That’s what makes this job so personal.

Just a little look into my day-to-day at Nest & Kin 🤍

I didn’t start Nest & Kin because I wanted to build a business.
I started it because I know what it’s like to try and do everything alone.

Before running an agency, I spent over 10 years working as a nanny. Then I became a mum, and everything changed.
I experienced first- hand how important it is to have the right support around you.

Today, my goal is simple: to help families find someone they can genuinely trust with the people they love most.

Thank you to every family and every nanny who has been part this journey so far. 🤍

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion…

I truly believe children don’t need tablets to be constantly entertained. The moments they’ll remember most are often the simplest ones: reading together, playing, talking, laughing, and making memories.

Do you agree, or do you think tablets have an important place in childhood? I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts in the comments. 💭👇

💛 Why Some Nanny Searches Take Longer Than Others?

One of the questions we're asked most often is:

"Why does it sometimes take longer to find the right nanny?"

The answer is simple: every family is unique.

Some families are looking for a nanny with newborn experience. Others need someone who is also confident with housekeeping, happy to travel, bilingual, a confident driver, or experienced supporting multiple children.

The more specific the role, the more important it is to find someone who genuinely matches your family's needs and values.

At Nest & Kin, we never believe in sending CVs just for the sake of it. We'd rather introduce a handful of carefully selected candidates than overwhelm you with profiles that aren't the right fit.

Finding the right nanny isn't about being the fastest—it's about finding someone who will become a trusted part of your family for years to come.

Quality always comes before quantity. 💛

☀️ Summer is meant to be full of memories... but for many parents, it also comes with stress, guilt and exhaustion. 🤍

If you’ve found yourself thinking...

“I should be doing more.”
“They’re watching too much TV.”
“I don’t have enough time.”
..you’re not alone.

The truth is, your children don’t need a perfect summer. They don’t need every day filled with activities or Pinterest-worthy moments.

They need to feel loved, safe and connected.

Some days you’ll have endless patience. Other days you’ll simply be trying to get through the day—and that’s okay.

And if this summer feels overwhelming, remember that asking for help isn’t a sign of failure. Whether it’s a nanny for a few days a week, a babysitter for an afternoon, or simply someone to give you breathing space, support can make all the difference.

Be kind to yourself this summer. You’re doing better than you think. 🤍

✨ Have you ever felt guilty during the school holidays? Let me know in the comments—I promise you’re not the only one.

A lot of frustration in children comes from transitions…
Not from “bad behaviour”

Giving them time to process what’s coming next changes everything.
