A Happy Nest high profile nanny provides a personal, confidential and professional service.
At Happy Nest, we hold our high profile nannies in high regard and to a high standard. These career-professional nannies are highly educated, with a minimum of 5 years of experience, and offer support to ‘high profile’ families. Families such as professional sportspeople, media personalities, celebrities, and well-known political and business figures.
High-profile nannies understand that these families have a lifestyle that requires a particular skill set, and dedication to the position. Typically these families are in the public eye and have extremely demanding careers themselves. Many travel frequently and require a team of staff to assist them with their daily lives. The high-profile nanny forms part of this team as they see to the needs of the child. In doing so, they provide love, care, attention, education, creativity, friendship, guidance, and personalised support.
Nannies that support a high profile family are usually employed on a full-time live-in basis and travels regularly with the family.
Happy Nest have years of experience placing nannies with high profile clients and understand that discretion and privacy is of the utmost importance. You can reach us on 0800 955 8868 or leave a message below.
