About Sophie

Nearly two decades of expertise, dedicated to your family

Over almost two decades, I've honed my expertise in childcare and household management, graduating from the UK's leading childcare college to working as a high-profile nanny for some of the country's most distinguished families, and later as a specialist consultant on sleep and behaviour for babies and toddlers.

My personal journey as a parent to Huxley and twins Esther and Amity has deepened my understanding of the intricacies of family life. I've learned that a harmonious home is not just about well-supported children, but about the synergy of a carefully selected household team.

Recognising the unique needs of each family, I've become adept at identifying and placing household staff who don't just fulfil a role but enhance your family's quality of life. From nurturing nannies to meticulous housekeepers, I ensure each team member is chosen not only for their excellence but for their ability to integrate seamlessly into the fabric of your household.
