A London nanny agency for families who want a person, not a pile of CVs.
Experienced Filipino nannies and nanny-housekeepers, matched to the way your household actually runs.
House of Yaya is a London nanny agency. We start with the children, the hours, the house and whether you need live-in or live-out support. Then we look for someone whose experience fits that week.
Childcare and household support, defined before anyone is introduced.
The useful question is not “Can you send nannies in London?” It is what the day needs to cover.
Some families need a nanny for school runs, meals and the hours after pickup. Others need a nanny-housekeeper, with agreed housework in the time the children are at school or nursery. A few need short-term cover or someone who can travel.
We write that down first. Candidates then know what they are interviewing for, and you are not comparing people against an imaginary job.
Start with the support, then the job title.
You do not need the perfect title before you call. These are the searches London families ask us for most often.
Filipino nannies
Our specialist network. Childcare-led roles, matched on ages, sole charge, routine and the kind of relationship you want at home.
Explore Filipino nannies →Nanny-housekeepers
Childcare plus a realistic amount of household work. The split has to be possible in the hours you are offering.
Explore nanny-housekeepers →Temporary and travel
School holidays, gaps between permanent nannies, or a trip where the children need the same person away from home.

A week in Barnes is not a week in Knightsbridge. School routes, driving and how much of the day is spent locally all matter.
We place nannies and housekeepers across central, west, south-west and north-west London, and we publish local guides so you can see how a role tends to work near you. If your area is not listed, ask. Coverage is wider than the guides.
Questions families ask before they start.
What does a London nanny agency actually do?
We define the role with you, search our specialist network, introduce a shortlist, and support interviews, a trial where you want one, and the placement. We do not send an unsorted database of CVs.
Do you specialise in Filipino nannies?
Yes. Experienced Filipino nannies, nanny-housekeepers and household professionals are the candidate community House of Yaya knows best. Each person is still assessed on their own experience, not assumed to be the same as everyone else.
How long does a London search take?
Many searches take around 2–4 weeks. Allow longer when a candidate is working a notice period. Hours, salary, location and how specific the role is all change the timing.
What are your fees?
Permanent searches start with a search fee, then a placement fee when you hire. The nanny’s salary is separate and is not a percentage of our fee. Current figures are on the fees page.
Do you cover live-in and live-out roles?
Yes. Live-in needs a private bedroom and a clear off-duty routine. Live-out depends on the hours and how far the candidate can reasonably travel. We help you decide which arrangement you can actually offer.
Which parts of London do you cover?
Central, west, south-west and north-west London, including Chelsea, Kensington, Notting Hill, Hampstead, Barnes, Richmond, Wimbledon and neighbouring areas. We also work with families elsewhere in the UK and in Dubai.
