Annie established Nannies Incorporated in 1989 with the belief that a nanny is an extension of a family and as such needs a personal and tailored made approach from an agency to ensure the correct match.

Annie believes in close personal contact with clients and nannies and has instilled this throughout the agency; the team will always have time for you on the phone.

Annie’s experience with the childcare needs of her own family is reflected in the way the agency is run, placing professionalism and empathy above all else.
