How It Works – A Simple, Supportive Process

At Holgate Nannies, we make finding a nanny straightforward and stress-free. Our step-by-step process ensures you’re supported from start to finish:

2. Meet Carefully Vetted Nannies
We’ll introduce you to a shortlist of experienced, fully vetted nannies who match your criteria. All candidates are interviewed in person and undergo enhanced DBS checks, reference verification, and right-to-work clearance.

3. Interview & Trial
You’ll have the chance to interview your chosen candidates, with guidance and sample questions provided. We recommend a trial period to ensure the best fit for your family.

4. Hire with Confidence

Testimonials

Since our baby was not happy in daycare (he didn’t want to eat, nor sleep) we contacted Lauren. She listened carefully to our worries and wishes and introduced us to a wonderful, patient nanny. Now our baby is a happy 1 year old and we are ourselves much more relaxed, knowing he is in good hands with our lovely nanny! We can totally recommend the service of Holgate Nannies. Lauren is great in understanding the type of nanny a family needs. She found a nanny that fits our family perfectly. Thanks again Lauren!

I appreciate Lauren’s professional approach. She knows what parents need, but she also is aware that a nanny is not a babysitter. She has the best interests of both parties at heart and was able to find the perfect match for me. In my opinion Holgate Nannies is the only agency in Amsterdam with such a profound knowledge and passion for bringing families and candidates together.

I really liked my experience working with “Holgate Nannies”. Lauren is professional, passionate, organized and you can always count on her at any moment in the process. Most of all, she values the job of being a Nanny and she truly understands your needs and concerns and try to find the right fit for you. I would work again with her anytime. J’ai beaucoup aimé mon expérience avec “Holgate Nannies”. Lauren est professionnelle, passionnée, organisée et on peut toujours compter sur elle tout au long des procédures. Surtout, elle respecte et met en valeur le travail de Nounou. Elle écoute et comprend les besoins et s’est adaptée en fonction de mes préoccupations. Je re-travaillerais avec elle n’importe quand.

Holgate nannies is the greatest agency to be associated with. Lauren’s expertise in the nanny industry has been a guiding beacon for me to find the best suited family for me. Her attention to detail in regards to communication, feedback, prospective jobs is the most professional I’ve come across.

  We have asked Holgate nannies for help finding nannies more than once with different profiles and needs (live in, live out, temporary) and every time we were very happy with the profiles presented and with the professionalism of the company. We are especially happy that we were listened to, even if sometimes the suggestion was not to hire a nanny after all at that particular time. The approach is very personal and very tailored and the matches were spot on. We will come back for sure :)

  I tried to go the route of finding a nanny family privately and hadn’t had the best experience. So I contacted Holgate Nannies and signed up with the agency. I can’t praise Holgate Nannies enough! I would recommend to all Nannies and Families looking for a Nanny in Europe to go through this agency. Lauren has a unique gift to match families to Nannies and her thoroughness, expertise and attention to detail is what sets her apart from other agencies. Thank you Holgate Nannies!

  If you are looking for the best nanny agency in the Netherlands, look no further. I’ve worked as a nanny with many different agencies over a period of twenty years, and Holgate Nannies is among the best. Lauren Holgate takes the time to get to know the nanny and family in a highly thorough manner. She provides support and excellent communication throughout the placement process and thereafter. I’m grateful for all of her hard work and expertise!

  Having been registered with a few nanny agencies in the past, Holgate nannies has been by far the best experience I've had. Lauren and Ella put in a huge amount of effort and time into finding me the right family and their knowledge of the nanny industry is extensive. I learnt many things from both of them during my journey with Holgate and could not have been happier with the hard work they put into finding me a suitable role. Whether you are a family or a nanny, I can highly recommend their services.

  My husband and I used Holgate Nannies to find a part-time nanny (3 days/week) for our 1 year old daughter. Our experience in working with the founder, Lauren, was very positive -- she was extremely professional and very knowledgeable about the industry, and helped guide us through the entire process.  She was clear about timelines/expectations/costs, and after a series of CV reviews and interviews, was able to connect us with an amazing nanny who we love, who has now been with us for just over 6 months. Would definitely recommend to anyone seeking a professional nanny in NL!
