What our parents say!

Having a nanny from Project Nanny is the best decision we have made for our family, knowing our wee girl is being looked after so wonderfully in her own routines and sleeping in her own cot makes life so much easier. Having photos sent throughout the day is the icing on the cake. We throughly recommend getting in contact
Absolutely amazing service. Alice is wonderful and the nanny she recommended for me was extremely good with my wee one and he was always so happy to see his nanny. Couldn't recommend this service enough.
Project nanny is amazing, friendly and professional. Highly recommend!
Alice is great to communicate with and she was able to find us an amazing Nanny every time! Thanks heaps for your work Alice, and thank you to the lovely ladies we’ve had take care of our baby x
Alice is absolutely incredible! Being brave enough to take on our 3 young children including infant twins was nothing short of amazing. The care she provided for our children was second to none! Endless enthusiasm, fun and reliability made Alice the perfect employee and pretty much one of the family! Look no further for your Childcare needs.
Alice was our nanny for 18 months. She has a bright, bubbly personality, is full of energy, is super hard working and gets along with everyone. Absolutely nothing fazes her! We had a 3 yr old and 18 month old twins when she started with us, and she breezed in, took charge and was amazing with the kids. They still run up and give her big cuddles if we run into her and I still miss having her around! I couldn't recommend her her highly enough.
