Nannies and Au Pairs
for Cape Town Families
For families living in Cape Town, the right nanny is someone who fits your household and stays. We match resident and relocating families with vetted nannies and au pairs chosen for reliability, longevity and the way they work with your children, not just their CV. Referral and invitation only, so every aspect of the match is considered.

→Why Resident Families Choose Us
Why Resident Families Choose Us
Local families usually come to us at a turning point. A childcare arrangement has just collapsed, a new baby is on the way, or a move is coming up. What you need then is not the fastest option, but the one that lasts.
We match on fit, because a nanny who suits your home stays for years, and continuity is what children need. Because we work by referral rather than open applications, every nanny is a known quantity before they reach you. The result is fewer, better matches.
How It Works
How It Works
Tell Us About Your Household
Your routine, your children's ages and needs, the hours you need covered, and whether you want live-in or live-out, driving, or a second language.
We Match From Our Network
We draw on referred, vetted nannies and au pairs, and put forward the ones who suit your household, with a full profile and CV for each.
Meet at Home and Settle In
You meet the nanny in person before anything is confirmed, so you see the fit in your own space, with your children.
Ongoing Support
We stay in touch through the early weeks and beyond, and if a match is not right, our Replacement Guarantee covers you. The aim is a placement that lasts.
What We Cover
What We Cover
Resident families choose from a live-in nanny for daily routine and continuity, a granny nanny for experienced newborn and postnatal support, a night nanny for the overnight shift, and a special needs nanny for additional learning, developmental or care needs. Tell us what your family needs and we will match accordingly.
Nanny or Au Pair
Nanny or Au Pair
In South Africa, "au pair" is the common term, and the roles overlap. Broadly, a nanny focuses on hands-on care and younger children, while an au pair often drives, helps with homework and does school runs for older kids. We place both, matched to what your household actually needs.
Vetting Comes First
Vetting Comes First
Every nanny is interviewed in person, cleared through a comprehensive SAPS background and criminal record check, first aid certified through Safe Kids, and reference checked with at least three previous employers by phone or video call. You can read the full process on our vetting page. For a placement meant to last years, that groundwork matters.
Our Commitments
Our Commitments
Every placement comes with our four commitments: an unsuitable match replaced within 24 hours at no charge, a meet-first introduction before anything is confirmed, a reply to your enquiry within 24 hours, and first-day confidence, so if the first day does not work, you do not pay for it.
