Our Story

Since 2009, Babushka Childcare has been dedicated to connecting families with exceptional nannies and household staff. What began as a boutique agency has grown into a trusted name in London, valued for our expertise in both childcare and bilingual household recruitment.

The agency was founded by Svetlana, who combined her professional background in childcare and recruitment with her own experience as a mother. Having lived in London for more than two decades, she understands the realities of family life here and brings a uniquely personal insight to every placement. This combination of expertise and empathy has shaped Babushka Childcare into an agency known for professionalism, care, and lasting relationships.

Today, over 80% of new families come to us through personal recommendations — a reflection of the trust and satisfaction we have built over the years.
