It all started with a trip home to New Zealand, a very good friend and an idea I’d had since my twenties. 🤍

Back in 2021, I was enjoying some time off from my three-month-on, three-month-off nanny rota in Saudi Arabia when my gorgeous friend Georgia and I put our heads together and decided to finally bring that little idea to life.

We’d both made it into our thirties by then, so naturally we thought it was about time we did something grown-up haha

Most people know us as sisters (we’re not, but we basically are!). With our similar relaxed New Zealand upbringings, shared careers, fun minds and adventures together across Australia and around the world, I suppose building something we both cared about just made sense.

Since June 2021, Elite has had the pleasure of working with around 50 private clients, many of whom have returned over the years as their lives change, children grow, nanny contracts end and work takes them elsewhere.

And then there are the people I’ve met along the way.

From nannies and maternity nurses to housekeepers, private chefs and PAs, so many are people I’ve known throughout my career, some from many moons ago! I genuinely love keeping in touch, helping them find their next opportunities and watching their careers grow.

Today I got chatting to a lovely mum in a café with her five-month-old baby. She was telling me how much she was enjoying motherhood and mentioned that a few of her friends were looking for nannies.

One of my favourite things about what I do is meeting mums like this. Those unexpected conversations about motherhood, children and everything in between.

I was chatting with one of my best friends in New Zealand today, and she asked me how I find new clients.

The answer? Mostly word of mouth!

It got me thinking about how many wonderful relationships I’ve built over the years, both as a nanny and through Elite Staff Placements.

There’s something quite special about growing a business through genuine connections and personal recommendations, particularly when trust is at the heart of everything you do. 🤍

The best placements are the ones nobody wants to end. 🤍

Today, a six-month maternity nurse placement became twelve months because the family simply can’t imagine letting her go. To me, that says everything about a successful placement. Finding someone who becomes genuinely invaluable to a family.

And then these lovely words arrived, following a nanny placement with a private estate in the UK.

I’ve always loved working alongside house and estate managers. No matter how serious the job, there’s something really lovely about building a genuine relationship along the way.

Very proud of the people I represent, and very grateful to the people who trust me to find them.

Visiting London with children? This is a good one to add to the list 🖤

The Back to Black exhibition at Granary Square, King’s Cross is free, outdoors, and such an easy little stop with children. They can run about while you wander through and read about Amy Winehouse and 20 years of Back to Black.

I’m squeezing it in before my nanny shift today, which brings me to something that made me laugh while getting dressed this morning…

After 16 years of nannying, I’ve realised I do the office commute completely backwards 😂

Office girls commute in trainers and change into heels. I commute in heels and change into my nanny shoes.

I’ve always loved clothes and getting dressed up. Being a nanny has never changed that, I just keep another pair of shoes at work.

Same system. Different profession.

TEMPORARY NORLAND NANNY | HAY-ON-WYE | 1–9 OCTOBER

It’s a real pleasure to be placing this temporary role. I know the family’s House Manager well, and Hay-on-Wye is an area I’ve nannied in many times myself.

It’s such a beautiful part of the country, right on the Welsh border. I genuinely think every nanny should experience working in the countryside at some point in their career.

The family is looking for a wonderful Norland Nanny who is available for the full dates, 1–9 October.

If you’re Norland trained and available, or know someone brilliant who might be, please get in touch with me directly.

Know an incredible nanny quietly keeping family life moving behind the scenes? Tag them below, they deserve some love ❤️

London Fashion Week is, unsurprisingly, a much-loved week of mine ❤️ but it also gets me thinking about everything that happens behind the scenes.

After 16 years as a nanny, much of it spent alongside families in fast-moving creative careers, I’ve seen how much goes into making family life work alongside demanding schedules.

Work runs late. Travel happens. Plans move. And through all of it, childhood carries on.

That experience shapes how I approach placements at Elite.

When I’m placing with families across fashion, film, music, the arts and sport, I’m not simply looking for someone who can manage a changing schedule. I’m looking for someone who understands the rhythm of that life.

Adaptable without being chaotic. Discreet without being distant. Someone who can move between countries, schedules and environments while still giving children the consistency they need.

The right nanny becomes a constant. They give children stability and parents the freedom to focus on the work they love, knowing family life is in safe hands.

That’s a very particular kind of match, and one I absolutely love making.
