I highly recommend this agency. We had been let down by a lady who was going to be our nanny and Lea came to the rescue. She was very helpful, responsive, knowledgeable and caring. She had our advert up within days and found a wonderful selection of people. The lady we selected was a perfect match and we cannot thank Lea enough for finding her for us. Truly fantastic.

First time I had to use their services and I can’t recommend them enough. Lea responded promptly at a job application , arranging over the phone interview within days. She has been communicating with both myself and the family about the details , paperwork and everything went smooth and within time. Very reliable agency. Thanks to Lea , I work for a lovely family with the time schedule that meets both my and the family’s needs. Perfect match . Thank you Lea and everyone involved in the hiring process.

I found this agency by pure luck while looking for a new nanny position and I have to say I am so glad I did.
Lea is amazingly professional. She is really easy to talk to. She listened to my wishes when it came to finding the perfect family match.
She is always available to answer questions.
For start to finish, the process was painless unlike with other agencies.
I would recommend the agency to any other nanny looking for a new job.

French Nanny Agency is excellent in their field. They took the trouble to listen to me and connect me with suitable families. The process is rigourous which is reassuring for Nannies and for Familes. If you are looking for somebody to look after your most precious children, it is good to know that the candidates are well vetted. For nannies it is also good to have an agent who looks after your interests, collects feedback and makes sure you are happy in the role. Thank you Glenny and the team.

Not just for the family, but as a professional carer myself, they make sure that we feel comfortable and are a good match for the family.
