The Royal Standard in Nanny Service
Kensington Nanny is a professional nanny placement agency for families who need part-time or full-time nanny care. Kensington applies the principles long used in royal households, structure, preparation, and role clarity, to today’s private family settings.
Full-time & Part-time Nannies
Our nannies are chosen for their experience and/or child development knowledge. We reinforce key techniques and prepare them with a structured daily plan that reflects your family’s routine, and your child’s stage of growth.
Unique Plans for every Family
We offer several plan & pricing options that determine the level of placement support you need. Once you complete the Family Application we can begin to provide the bespoke nanny service every family receives.

Nannies for All Ages, from Newborn to School-age
Professional Nanny & Household Care
Even before your first introduction, Kensington nannies represent the top tier of private-duty nanny professionals and are equipped with age-appropriate strategies and guidance aligned with your family’s priorities. Some may already be fully trained in specific approaches, while others bring strong foundational experience.
While some nannies naturally articulate their approach in interviews or trials, others demonstrate their strengths through consistency, judgment, and how they show up over time.
A personalized nanny plan includes:
A Sample Daily Routine aligned with your child’s age and energy patterns
Learning Ideas based on your child’s interests
Strategies that encourage language, motor skills, and social development
Positive Behavior Approaches aligned with your parenting style
Our professional nannies don’t just show up, they walk in prepared to contribute to the household with confidence and purpose.
Discuss your needs, timeline, and the level of support that fits your family.

You Tell Us What You Need. We Build the Role Around It.
Care Styles That Fit Your Family
Not every family needs the same kind of nanny. That’s why Kensington places nannies based on CareStyle, not just schedule or availability.
Your CareStyle helps define the role before nanny is introduced, so expectations are clear on both sides from the start.
Common CareStyles include:
Choosing the right CareStyle early helps guide the search, inform interviews, and avoid misalignment during trials.
With preparation on both sides, your full-time or part-time nanny arrives ready to provide reliable, developmentally appropriate care from day one.
Hire a Nanny with Confidence
From Child Development to Household Support
We believe great nanny care starts with clear expectations and a thoughtful match. Every Kensington nanny placement is designed to set your professional nanny—and your family—up for success.
With our nanny service, you receive:
→ A nanny selected for their experience and/or education, with a plan tailored to your child’s age.
→ Job expectations shaped around your parenting goals and household schedule.
→ A work schedule prepared in advance with you, so the nanny can start their new role with confidence from day one.
A Royal Standard of Nanny Care
Nanny Placement Plans For Every Family
Every family approaches hiring differently. Some want access to exceptional nannies and prefer to lead the process themselves. Others want guidance and coordination from start to finish.
Kensington offers three placement options so you can choose how involved you want our team to be, without compromising on quality.
Professional Plan
Access to exceptional nannies. You lead the process.
You receive access to the top 15% of professional nannies in your area, fully vetted and ready to interview, while managing interviews, trials, and final decisions independently.
This option is ideal for families who are comfortable evaluating nannies and know what they’re looking for, but want to avoid job boards, unqualified applicants, and no-shows.
Executive Concierge Plan
Guided support from role design through hire.
Our most popular option. This plan includes everything in the Professional Plan, plus hands-on support to help define the role, guide compensation, coordinate interviews and trials, and refine the search as needed.
Early interviews often help calibrate the search. Your consultant uses those conversations to adjust priorities, refine parameters, and ensure the process moves toward the right long-term fit.
Private Client Plan
By invitation | For complex households and estate-level needs
This exclusive option is reserved for families with multiple residences, estate-level staffing needs, or frequent travel. Searches are fully managed with elevated discretion, extended backup care, and long-term advisory support.
