About Us

Small enough to care, experienced enough to deliver

We place professional nannies, nanny housekeepers, junior nannies and au pairs with families across London and the Home Counties — personally, thoughtfully, and with two decades of expertise behind every match.

A boutique agency built on trust

Smart Childcare Agency was founded on a simple belief: exceptional childcare begins with exceptional people. We are a small, dedicated team who know every candidate personally and every family by name.

We never send CVs at scale. Each match is considered, each placement is supported, and each relationship is built to last. Behind this agency stands the team at Smart Au Pairs & Nannies — over twenty years of specialist childcare recruitment, hundreds of successful placements, and a 4.9 Google rating earned one family at a time.

Led personally, by a parent

Our director Tuuli is a mum of two with over a decade of specialist childcare recruitment experience. She personally speaks with every family — because understanding the joys and challenges of balancing work, childcare and family life is what makes the perfect match possible.

"110% would recommend Tuuli and the team to any family. The process was simple and having their expertise was invaluable — we are incredibly happy with the most amazing childcarer, who is now part of our family."
