Hurray for Holiday Nanny

If your child adores cricket, or spends morning to night with a paintbrush in hand, then you’ll love the nannies you can employ from Holiday Nanny. This agency has 70 nannies – many of whom have a speciality. There are musical, sporty or creative nannies and the staff include primary and nursery school teachers as well as maternity nurses. Set up two years ago by former investment banker Nicola Grant, Holiday Nanny won the Essence Of The Entrepreneur Award 2008 from BT Business in January. 

All their nannies have a paediatric first-aid certificate and sign a confidentiality agreement. Holiday Nanny offers standard or tailor-made packages: the standard cost is £425 for one week, or £795 for a fortnight; you pay for transport and accommodation. Hours are organised between the nanny and the family.
