About Us
The Imperial Ethos
About Imperial Nannies
We are a Nanny Agency founded 1996, working from established commercial offices in London and Bath. Our number one focus is to provide an unrivalled service to all our clients and candidates resulting in a happy and successful long-term placement.
“How do you achieve that?” We hear you ask!
Well, when taking endless applications from candidates, referring to our carefully thought out criteria, we select only those who ticks all the boxes. This produces an accomplished candidate with invaluable experience, a proven track record, a good head on their shoulders and a bright future with one of our clients. We affectionately call those who make the grade ‘an Imperial’.
Each and everyday we work diligently on behalf of all our clients and all our Imperials.
We don’t ever play a numbers game. If we have two Nannies who are right for a Nanny job , the Client will receive two CV’s. We don’t pad out the list with a further six as a smoke screen.
Likewise for our Imperials, we will always share the client’s requirements and not sugar coat any detail so that they are fully informed as to whether or not this sounds like the right Nanny job for them.
Our clients come back to us time and time again as they know we strive to achieve a successful match. Many of our Imperials have trusted us with their careers since our early days in the 90’s. Our proven work ethic gives both parties the confidence to transform what seems like an onerous task into a seamless process.
A Word from our Founder & MD, Sarajane Ambrose
As a mother of 4 and having founded Imperial Nannies in 1996, I understand the value of reliable child care. Due to the expert support that my Nannies have provided me and my family over the years, I have been able to work, socialise and enjoy family time comfortably.
With my own childrens’ Nannies, I benefited from not only their education but also their years’ worth of experience working with their previous charges. They helped alleviate fears I had during the childrens’ first illnesses, helped me to know what to pack and how to keep my children entertained when we travelled and gave me practical everyday tips that made our lives easier.
My Nannies picked up the slack where I couldn’t, by making sure PE bags were ready by the door, or baking for the school fair, and most importantly making sure I felt completely comfortable when my children were left solely in their care.
It is this experience that I am determined to keep at the heart of Imperial, and I truly believe that by putting in the time to make sure both Candidate and Clients are well-matched from the start, we can help create the necessary structure and flow where everybody at home thrives.
Whether you are looking for your first time Nanny or have been through the process before, we can advise you at every step of the way, providing you with an exemplary service start to finish.
With a wealth of knowledge in this industry, you can rely on us!
