Hire a Manny with Holgate Nannies

Childcare is about so much more than ticking boxes—it’s about finding someone who connects with your child, supports their development, and becomes a trusted part of your family’s life. If you’re looking for a childcare professional who brings structure, warmth, and enthusiasm into your home, it may be time to hire a manny. A skilled manny offers the same professionalism and compassion you'd expect from any top-tier caregiver.

Holgate Nannies is a leading private staffing agency specialising in tailored childcare solutions for families across Europe and the UK. For over 15 years, we’ve worked with families to understand their unique needs and pair them with the right professionals—people who are as emotionally attuned as they are practically capable.

Founded by Lauren Holgate, whose extensive personal experience in professional childcare informs every placement we make, our agency prides itself on offering a thoughtful, tailored service. Whether you're seeking a full-time addition to your household or flexible support during busy periods, we’ll help you hire a manny who fits seamlessly into your day-to-day life.

Mannies provide more than just day-to-day care. They support children in their emotional and academic development, create consistent routines, and design thoughtful activities that inspire learning and joy.

A professional manny can assist with:
• Daily Care & Routines – School runs, mealtimes, bedtime routines, and after-school activities.
• Educational Support – Homework assistance, language skills, and developing good study habits.
• Sports & Outdoor Activities – Engaging children in active play, outdoor adventures, and team sports.
• Life Skills & Mentorship – Instilling confidence, independence, and responsibility in children.
• Household Support – Helping with children’s laundry, organisation, and maintaining a structured home environment.

Whether you need full-time support or a part-time manny to help manage a busy schedule, we can find the right match for your family’s needs.

Every family is different, and so is every manny. We ensure that the professional we place with you is not only highly qualified but also a great personality fit for your family’s lifestyle.

Every manny we work with goes through a meticulous selection process, including comprehensive background checks, reference checking, and in-depth interviews. This ensures that only the most skilled, trustworthy, and dedicated professionals are introduced to your family.

With our deep understanding of private childcare staffing, we know what makes a great manny and how to find the right fit for your home.

Our service doesn’t end when we make a placement. We offer continued support, guidance, and follow-ups to ensure a successful long-term relationship.

There’s no one-size-fits-all in childcare. Families choose to hire a manny for all sorts of reasons—from needing a steady, active presence at home to finding someone who can model patience, kindness, and confidence.
We take the time to find a manny who matches your values, complements your parenting style, and contributes positively to your child’s world.

We keep things simple, clear, and focused on what matters most—your family.

1. Initial Chat – We begin with an in-depth conversation to understand your family’s needs, routines, and values.
2. Tailored Recommendations – You’ll receive carefully selected portfolios of mannies we believe align with your requirements.

Our promise? No compromises when it comes to the quality, integrity, and warmth of the professionals we recommend.
