From time to time, we all find ourselves wishing Mary Poppins would come knocking with her beguiling bag of tricks, firm but fair approach to discipline and otherworldly sense of wonder. Wish no more. Meet Lyndsey, founder of The Yorkshire Nanny Company and childcare expert who provides first class, Yorkshire-wide nanny services to families with her A-team of super nannies.

Her magic scroll of services is extensive. From full-time, part-time, live in, holiday or maternity nannies to au pairs, nanny housekeepers, baby sitters. Yep, not much the YNC doesn’t do really. Event childcare is a particularly popular service (commonly at weddings) – childcare at the event, meaning you can bring the kids along without having to keep an eye on them the whole time. Bliss.

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 she gets it. All her nannies are carefully selected, instructed by Lyndsey herself, and they all have a specific paediatric first aid qualification, so you can let your hair down without worry.

If that doesn’t convince you, the endless pages of glowing feedback from happy families certainly will.
