Finding the right live-in nanny matters to every family we help. Celebrity Recruitment is a live-in nanny agency that places discreet, high-calibre caregivers in the United Kingdom, Europe, the USA, and the UAE. If you are looking for a live-in solution that blends into your family home, our consultants will guide your search, present only the right candidate options, and support you in hiring a live-in nanny through every step.
A live-in nanny brings consistency, flexibility and calm to busy households. With the nanny living in, mornings run smoothly, after-school routines stay on track, and evenings are covered without a commute in the way.
Many families tell us a live-in nanny quickly becomes part of daily life, supporting childcare, learning and play while respecting house rules and privacy. Whether you need a full-time schedule or a live-in, part-time nanny arrangement, we match on values, routines, and individual requirements so the placement is a good fit for the long term.
Our process is thorough. We verify childcare qualifications, paediatric first aid and references, and we interview for judgement, professionalism and warmth.
If you are looking for a live-in nanny who can travel, handle proxy parenting at night when required, or is confident with babies through to school-age children, we will shortlist accordingly. Families seeking to hire Norland nanny-trained professionals can also brief us to prioritise that profile.
A live-in nanny focuses on childcare and all tasks that support the kids’ well-being. Typical responsibilities include age-appropriate activities, preparing nutritious meals for the children, school runs, organising playdates with friends, creative arts and outdoor time, and light nursery duties that keep children’s spaces tidy and safe.
With babies and toddlers, you can expect to attend baby classes, baby classes at home for confidence-building, and careful routine management. For older kids and school-age children, the live-in nanny can help with homework, projects and structured downtime.
Heavy housework or other household chores that are unrelated to the children do not form part of the job. Some roles include family cooking by prior agreement, but the core remit stays child-led.
When nights are needed, overnight babysitting can be scheduled, and the nanny live-in setup often makes occasional late evenings or weekends easier to plan. Most families appreciate that this continuity reduces friction for children and gives parents space to focus.
A live-in nanny’s salary reflects experience, location and the working hours you set.
That usually covers 10 to 12 hours per day across five days, with two evenings of babysitting included. When you need longer days or additional nights, expect to pay a higher salary or an agreed-upon hourly rate on top of that. Salaries are quoted per week to keep planning clear.
As the employer, you must handle national insurance, the nanny’s tax and payroll compliance. We can introduce specialist providers who manage the nanny’s tax and payslips for you. Employers also factor in national bank holidays and annual leave entitlement.
Most offers specify how many babysitting evenings are included per week, how overtime is handled, and what the nanny’s weekly wage covers regarding meals and accommodation. Travel expenses linked directly to the children’s activities are commonly reimbursed.
To compare budgets between live out and live in options, remember that accommodation and food are part of the live in package, which can make total weekly pay more predictable.
Where you need a rota, short-term cover or a temporary live-in nanny, we will outline market pay for those structures before you proceed.
A live in nanny must have an own bedroom in the family home, furnished for comfort with storage and a desk. An en suite or separate bathroom is ideal and offers more privacy for everyone.
Some households provide a guest room configured as the nanny’s space or arrange separate accommodation nearby; where you can offer separate accommodation, you typically attract higher calibre applicants.
Clear house rules should be written into the nanny’s contract before the start date so expectations are aligned.
Employers provide meals or a fair food allowance during working days, and many families include reasonable food access outside working hours too.
We will speak with you about routines, boundaries and privacy to ensure the nanny live in arrangement is respectful and sustainable.
If you are looking for a live in professional who will thrive in your setting, our team will map your routine, values and any specific needs before we search. We screen for precise experience bands, from newborn care to the dynamics of siblings, and we only introduce candidates who align with your family matters and lifestyle.
Our consultants manage search, interviews, trial days and referencing, and we stay hands-on through offer, the live in nanny agreement and onboarding.
As one of the specialist live in nanny agencies supporting international households, we also place overseas live in nanny roles and can advise on logistics.
We work with confidentiality at all times, including for high-profile and celebrity nanny agency briefs. If your right nanny must travel frequently, speak multiple languages or handle complex schedules, we will prioritise those competencies and present the right candidate shortlist.
Most families aim to complete hiring in two weeks to four weeks, depending on notice periods and availability. Where speed is vital, we can accelerate shortlisting, arrange a two weeks trial where appropriate, and target a confirmed start within four weeks.
A live in nanny offers reliability when days run long and evenings shift, eliminating commute issues and making ad hoc babysitting simpler. A live out nanny can suit families with set working hours and defined boundaries around space.
If you are balancing a London base with travel, or if your week regularly runs to 12 hours on two or more days, a live in structure may reduce stress for everyone.
We will set out the pros and cons, from weekly costs per week to practicalities like overnight coverage, so you can decide with confidence.
Some families combine options across the year, adding a temporary live-in nanny for school holidays, weekends away or during a new baby phase. Others maintain a long-term live in framework and add short term support for events or travel.
Whatever you choose, our goal is to help you find a live in nanny who feels like the right candidate and keeps life smooth for the children.

A typical live in nanny schedule runs 10 to 12 hours each day, five days per week, with two evenings of babysitting included. If your role involves long hours, overnight stays or frequent weekends, we will agree the working hours in writing and set fair overtime terms.
Expect clear boundaries on downtime, privacy and food, and expect the nanny to keep children’s areas organised while avoiding tasks that cross into heavy housework. We emphasise childcare qualifications and a valid paediatric first aid certificate for every placement, and we carry out enhanced background and reference checks as standard.
We are happy to advise on live in nanny contract terms, from probation and reviews to how pay rises are handled. Where appropriate, we also advise on trial structure, safeguarding in the family home and how to set up reporting that keeps parents informed without overloading the nanny.

A live in nanny delivers childcare focused on the children’s wellbeing, learning and routine. Day to day this means preparing nutritious meals for the children, age appropriate activities, school runs, play dates, creative arts, and nursery duties to keep children’s rooms and play zones organised. With babies, expect attending baby classes and gentle routine building. Heavy housework and other household chores do not sit within a live in brief.
Yes. It is common for babies and young children to need time to settle with a new live in nanny. We plan a calm handover period so the nanny live in arrangement feels steady. Consistency, familiar toys and short, predictable goodbyes help most children adjust within two weeks.
A live-in nanny resides in your house or in agreed-upon separate accommodation, providing flexibility for early starts, late evenings, and occasional night cover. A live-out nanny commutes daily and sticks to set working hours. Some families choose to live out during calmer periods and add a temporary live-in nanny for travel or busier seasons.
Yes. If you are looking for a live-in arrangement, we can find a live-in nanny for short-term or permanent roles in the UK, Europe, the USA or the UAE. We manage search, screening and interviews, and we support the offer, the live-in nanny agreement and start date planning.
You will often see a live-in nanny and a home nanny used. Some families also refer to a house-based nanny, or one who lives on-site. If you need a rota model or a nanny who can travel extensively, tell us, and we will tailor the shortlist.
Most live in roles run 10 to 12 hours per day across five days, with two evenings of babysitting each week included. Any additional hours, nights, or weekends should be agreed to in the nanny’s contract, with clear pay terms. If your week regularly requires 12 hours across multiple days, confirm that there is adequate downtime to support balance and well-being.
