Nannies and childcare across Madrid
We connect families throughout Madrid with childcare professionals who fit their household and their neighbourhood. From the centre to the residential areas beyond the city, we match candidates who can reach you dependably and settle into your family’s routine.
We regularly place carers with families in Barrio de Salamanca, Chamberí, Chamartín and El Viso, as well as in La Moraleja, Pozuelo de Alarcón, La Finca, Aravaca and Somosaguas. For each placement we consider commuting time and whether the role suits city or residential living, whether that is an apartment in the centre or a home in one of the gated communities.
If you are new to Madrid or moving between homes, we can arrange full-time, part-time or live-in support built around your family’s week.
Professional childcare services
We understand that families often need more than just care — they seek cultural compatibility, language support, and gentle structure. Our nannies, carers and educators offer thoughtful, adaptable care tailored to your household and your children’s growth. Explore below our staff categories and let us know what type of support you need.
Nanny
A nanny is a professional caregiver who supports a child’s physical, emotional, and developmental needs in a private home. The role may be live-in or live-out, full-time or part-time, and often includes tasks like preparing meals, planning activities, and managing routines. General household duties are typically handled by housekeepers or housekeeper-nannies. Some nannies also offer bilingual care or early learning support, based on the family’s needs.
Maternity Nurse
A maternity nurse specialises in caring for newborns and supporting parents during the early postpartum period. Typically working on a short-term, live-in basis, they focus on newborn routines, feeding, sleep support, and guiding new parents through early transitions. Their duties are limited to the baby and do not usually include older siblings.
Tutor
A tutor provides one-on-one academic support in a specific subject or for general homework assistance. Tutors may prepare students for school entry, exams, or help them catch up in certain areas. Sessions are usually structured and take place in the family home.
Travel Nanny
A travel nanny accompanies families during trips, holidays, or relocations to provide consistent childcare support in changing environments. In addition to regular nanny duties, travel nannies often assist with packing, adjusting routines across time zones, and keeping children engaged during long journeys. Flexibility, discretion, and experience in travel logistics are typically expected for this role.
Manny
A manny is a male caregiver who undertakes the same responsibilities as a nanny, supporting children’s wellbeing, structure, and development. Families may choose a manny for their specific dynamic, especially in households with energetic children or a preference for a positive male role model.
Mother’s Helper
A mother’s helper is a hands-on, supportive caregiver who assists parents with day-to-day childcare and light household tasks — typically while a parent is present. Often with informal or family-based experience rather than formal qualifications, they help with routines, playtime, tidying, and transitions throughout the day. This role is ideal for families looking for an extra pair of caring, capable hands — particularly in the early years or during busy home hours.
Governess
A governess is an academic-focused childcare professional who supports school-aged children with their studies, personal development, and social etiquette. They may assist with language learning, exam preparation, and establishing routines, but are not responsible for general caregiving or household duties.
Babysitter / Holiday Nanny
A babysitter provides short-term, ad-hoc care for children — usually for a few hours during the day or evening. Responsibilities may include supervising play, preparing meals, bedtime routines, or accompanying children to activities. A holiday nanny offers similar care over a longer period — often full-time support while a family is on vacation — ensuring continuity of routines and allowing parents to relax or attend events during their stay.
Bilingual care and support for international school families
Many families in Madrid are raising children across two or more languages, or preparing them for a place at one of the city’s international schools. We match nannies, tutors and governesses who can support this at home.
Depending on your family, that might mean a carer who speaks English, Spanish, French with your children through the day, or a tutor who understands the demands of a British, American or International Baccalaureate curriculum. For younger children, steady exposure to a second language at home makes the move into a bilingual school far smoother.
Tell us which languages matter to your household and which school your child attends or hopes to join, and we will factor that into every profile we present.
Support for families relocating to Madrid
Relocations move quickly, and reliable childcare is often needed before the boxes are unpacked. We help families arriving in Madrid put trusted care in place from the first weeks, whether that is a full-time nanny, a tutor to help children settle into a new school, or short-term support while you find your feet.
Because we work from an already vetted database, we can present suitable candidates soon after your enquiry, so childcare is one less thing to organise during a busy move. We also weigh cultural fit in every match, which matters all the more when a family is adjusting to a new country and a new home at the same time.
Parenting is full of questions…
How do you match the right person to the right household?
Each placement begins with an enquiry form designed to understand your home’s context, rhythm and priorities. From there, we use our own internal software system to identify the most compatible candidates from our vetted database. Whether it’s your first hire or a refined change, the process is discreet, guided, and deeply considered.
How do you ensure the candidates are genuinely vetted?
Every candidate we introduce goes through a multi-step vetting process. This includes staffing-category-specific interviews, reference verification, and, where appropriate, ID and background checks. We also use a bespoke personality assessment to understand how a candidate may integrate into your home — particularly in areas like discretion, independence, and adaptability.
Where applicable, we also draw on direct client feedback from completed placements or short-term roles, adding an extra layer of insight to the profiles we put forward.
What are your prices and how does the process work?
Pricing depends on the role, placement type and length as well as the profile you’re searching for. There’s no single answer — but the process is structured and transparent. Once we receive your form, we follow up personally, schedule a call or meeting if needed, to finalize the search parameters, offer relevant information based on this and begin presenting suitable candidates from our pool. We offer insight and advice throughout — whether you know exactly what you need or are still figuring it out.
Bonus Insight: What’s the most underestimated factor in a successful placement?
Experience, budget, and scheduling often dominate the conversation — but in private household settings, it’s often cultural fit that determines whether a placement truly works. Expectations around communication, personal space, hierarchy, flexibility, or formality can vary widely depending on both the family and the candidate’s background.
It’s one of the most overlooked — yet most crucial — dynamics.
Even highly experienced staff may struggle in environments where unspoken norms feel foreign, and families may feel misaligned without quite knowing why.
We factor cultural compatibility into every match — because placements that last depend on more than just skills.

Can a live-in nanny work in a Madrid apartment?
It depends on your space. Many central Madrid homes suit live-out arrangements, where the nanny travels to you each day, while families with more room or a home in the residential areas outside the city often prefer live-in support. We help you weigh which setup fits your home and daily routine.
Do you place bilingual or English-speaking nannies in Madrid?
Yes. A large share of the families we work with in Madrid want care in English, Spanish or another language, and we match carers accordingly. Where it helps, we prioritise candidates familiar with the curriculum of your child’s school.
Can you help families moving to Madrid from abroad?
Yes. We regularly support families relocating to Madrid and can present matched candidates soon after your enquiry, so trusted childcare is ready as you settle in. We factor cultural fit into every match, which is especially valuable during an international move.
Do you offer part-time or after-school care in Madrid?
Yes. Alongside full-time roles, we arrange part-time and after-school support, including help with the school run, homework and activities. This suits families who need cover around working hours or during the busiest parts of the day.
