Mums long to just click their fingers and wish a lovable, no-nonsense nanny to float through the door. Well, we have the answer to your childcare nightmares right here in Yorkshire.

Event childcare is huge, not just for weddings, but Christmas parties or a late-night New Year’s Eve bash when you want to let your hair down, but only when you know that the kids are in safe hands. Childcare at the event offers the freedom to bring your little ones without having to keep an eye on them the whole time.



Nannies often care for a bride and groom&#8217;s children, for example, or for kids of guests who can&#8217;t take young family to the reception, either on site at the venue, or else in a hotel room, holiday accommodation or the family home. Lyndsey advises booking at least 10 weeks ahead of the required dates, although she can often help with last-minute requests. 



Lyndsey’s approach is simple: build trusting relationships with parents through personal, honest communication, passion and impeccable attention to detail. After all, you’re only going to leave your child with someone who is ‘the very next best thing’ to you, and, as a mum to two young children herself, she fully appreciates that. Most importantly, she only ever recommends a nanny that she would be happy to leave her own children with.

Lyndsey gets to know you and your family first, so that she can gain a sound understanding of what you’re looking for in a childcare professional, before matching your children with the right team member. It’s also why she interviews nannies so diligently and carries out thorough vetting and reference checks – it&#8217;s a gold standard reassurance.



As for the nannies, well, they are all very carefully selected and instructed by Lyndsey herself. Each must have completed an online enhanced DBS check and hold a paediatric first-aid qualification, so parents have complete confidence that everyone&#8217;s well looked after from newborn babies to teenagers.

Many of the nannies have a Level 3 qualification in Childcare and Development, some have degrees in childhood studies or they may be qualified teachers. The few who have no official qualifications have years of professional childcare experience instead.



Perhaps you know someone who is staying in Yorkshire over the festive period with their young family, requiring reliable babysitters? Holidaymakers may be pleased to hear that The Yorkshire Nanny Company can provide nannies and babysitters to work in Airbnbs, rented cottages, hotels and other venues around the region making a grown-up night out – dinner, theatre, Champagne-fuelled party – all possible.



Lyndsey spent her childhood with her sister rampaging around the beautiful Yorkshire countryside, riding bikes, feeding the cows and collecting eggs from the chicken coops. Those happy childhood memories are now being passed on to her own family as she continues to live on a farm with husband Mark and their two children Ellie (nine) and William (eight).



Before taking over the business in 2016, Lyndsey also worked with children both in nurseries and private homes for over 10 years, so she has extensive childcare experience and, most importantly, a special affinity with kids of all ages. You only need to read the glowing feedback on her website from contented parents over the moon to have found a real-life Mary Poppins, “practically perfect in every way.”
