When another caregiver is the better fit

Emma takes on a limited number of bookings, and some evenings she is already with another family. When she is unavailable, or when a different caregiver simply suits your family better, she connects you with a trusted career caregiver from her network.

Every caregiver Emma refers is thoroughly vetted before she ever recommends them. Qualifications are reviewed, references are checked, and Working With Children clearances are confirmed, so the standard of care stays high whoever arrives at your door.

  • Qualifications reviewed
  • References checked
  • Working With Children clearances
  • Matched to your family
Qualified & Trusted

Care you can hand over with confidence

Little Smiles Nannying works by application and keeps numbers small on purpose, so every family gets genuine attention and every match is one Emma stands behind.
