Hire a Maternity Nurse with Holgate Nannies

Maternity Nurses, also known as Newborn care specialists, specialise in newborn care. They live with the family and work with them for a few weeks or sometimes the first 3-6 months of the baby's life to provide the family with the support and care they need. They provide almost 24-hour care with some time to rest, usually one day a week and sometime in the day. This is all done in the comfort of your own home and is valuable in helping parents adjust to their new family members and establish good routines.
When your priority is your children’s education, a governess might be your answer. At Holgate Nannies, we take pride in providing the highest quality governesses to deliver your child's education in the comfort of your home. With a professional teaching background, a governess will create a friendly environment to focus on your child's intellectual and social development and implement structure into their life.

Our unique approach to pairing candidates with governesses ensures that our choices are perfectly selected to nurture your children's intellectual, social, and emotional development. Our approach exceeds traditional expectations, and by understanding that each family is unique, we champion a bespoke matching process that will align with all your family’s needs and values.

Our Promise to you

Personal
Caring
Impeccable

We don’t believe in compromise. At least not on the essentials. At Holgate, “good” is not good enough. We take on only the very best nannies. To provide you with the very best. There really is an art to matching the right nanny to the right family. Of course, our nannies have high-level language skills and
3+ of experience, but they also have warmth, profound patience and common sense, as well as a deep appreciation for the importance of what they are doing.

How it works

1. We always begin with an in-depth discussion. If we are going to match you with the right nanny*, it’s important that we get to know your family and understand your needs.
2. We will then make a selection of what we think are suitable nannies and provide you with their portfolios. Based on your wishes, we’ll arrange interviews.
3. Trial days will be planned with you and the candidates, giving you an opportunity to get to know each other.
4. Once you have decided on a nanny, we will help you put together the job offer and provide a contract template and whatever other support you require to employ your chosen nanny.
5. Once the nanny’s employment has started, we are also available for post-placement support if that is desired.
