We have asked Holgate nannies for help finding nannies more than once with different profiles and needs (live in, live out, temporary) and every time we were very happy with the profiles presented and with the professionalism of the company. We are especially happy that we were listened to, even if sometimes the suggestion was not to hire a nanny after all at that particular time. The approach is very personal and very tailored and the matches were spot on. We will come back for sure :)

I tried to go the route of finding a nanny family privately and hadn’t had the best experience. So I contacted Holgate Nannies and signed up with the agency. I can’t praise Holgate Nannies enough! I would recommend to all Nannies and Families looking for a Nanny in Europe to go through this agency. Lauren has a unique gift to match families to Nannies and her thoroughness, expertise and attention to detail is what sets her apart from other agencies. Thank you Holgate Nannies!

If you are looking for the best nanny agency in the Netherlands, look no further. I’ve worked as a nanny with many different agencies over a period of twenty years, and Holgate Nannies is among the best. Lauren Holgate takes the time to get to know the nanny and family in a highly thorough manner. She provides support and excellent communication throughout the placement process and thereafter. I’m grateful for all of her hard work and expertise!

Having been registered with a few nanny agencies in the past, Holgate nannies has been by far the best experience I've had. Lauren and Ella put in a huge amount of effort and time into finding me the right family and their knowledge of the nanny industry is extensive. I learnt many things from both of them during my journey with Holgate and could not have been happier with the hard work they put into finding me a suitable role. Whether you are a family or a nanny, I can highly recommend their services.

My husband and I used Holgate Nannies to find a part-time nanny (3 days/week) for our 1 year old daughter. Our experience in working with the founder, Lauren, was very positive -- she was extremely professional and very knowledgeable about the industry, and helped guide us through the entire process. She was clear about timelines/expectations/costs, and after a series of CV reviews and interviews, was able to connect us with an amazing nanny who we love, who has now been with us for just over 6 months. Would definitely recommend to anyone seeking a professional nanny in NL!

Have had such a wonderful experience working with this agency as a nanny. Feel very cared for and Lauren is obviously very experienced and knowledgeable about what the parents, kids and Nannies all need to work together happily. Couldn’t recommend more!
