We match Lagos families with exceptional, culturally-attuned caregivers — through a placement process as thoughtful as the families we serve.
We believe every family deserves care that feels like family — and every nanny deserves to work somewhere they are truly valued.
Whether you need a steady presence at home, support for a loved one, or trusted care for a single evening — we have a placement that fits your family perfectly.
A dedicated caregiver who becomes part of your household — present, consistent, and deeply attuned to your family's rhythms and values.

Enquire about this →We go beyond qualifications. We ask about your language at home, your food, your parenting philosophy — and we match accordingly. A nanny who understands your world isn't a bonus, it's the baseline.
Every caregiver completes our in-house preparation curriculum before placement — covering child development, safety, communication, and professional conduct. You receive someone ready to show up at their best.
We vet so you don't have to. Background checks, reference verification, medical clearance, in-person interviews, and skills assessment — all before your name comes up.
We know the neighbourhoods, the traffic, the household dynamics. Our placements work because they're grounded in the real lives of Lagos families.
From first enquiry to your nanny's first day — a process designed around your family, not a formula.
Submit an enquiry and we'll reach out within 24 hours to understand your specific needs, preferences, and household culture.
We hand-select a small number of candidates whose profiles, personality, and background align with your family values.
Interview shortlisted nannies in person or virtually. Take your time — we're here to support, not rush.
Once you've chosen, we handle the paperwork, orientation, and a post-placement check-in to make sure everything feels right.
We assess education, relevant experience, and written communication — filtering for genuine care professionals.
A structured conversation with our team to assess attitude, emotional intelligence, and professional presentation.
Identity verification, criminal record checks, and address confirmation — every candidate, without exception.
Direct calls to former employers. We ask specific questions. We listen between the lines.
Our in-house training module ensures every nanny is ready to deliver professional, attentive care from day one.
A health check that gives you full peace of mind before any caregiver enters your home.
Our screening process exists because we believe families deserve more than a CV and a reference letter. Every caregiver in our network has been met, vetted, trained, and approved by our team.
We turn away candidates who don't meet our standard — because your trust is worth more than a quick placement.
We started The Resident Nanny because Lagos families deserve a caregiving agency that takes this as seriously as they do.
Every family we serve will receive a caregiver who has been met, vetted, trained, and genuinely approved by our team — not just sent from a list.
Every caregiver we place will be matched with a family that respects her time, her boundaries, and her professional worth. Care flows in both directions here.
We are new — and we think that's worth saying honestly. What we bring is intentionality, a rigorous process, and a refusal to treat caregiving as anything less than what it is: one of the most important things a family entrusts to another person.
The Resident Nanny was founded by a team who understood, firsthand, how difficult it is to find childcare you can truly trust in Lagos. Not just qualified care — care that fits your home, your children, your culture.
We built the agency we wished existed: one that treats placement as a deeply personal act, not a transaction. One that holds its caregivers to a high standard, and holds itself to an even higher one.
We are new — and we're proud of that. It means every family we serve gets our full attention, our best thinking, and a process we have designed with intention from the ground up.
Every placement is built on rigorous vetting and honest communication.
We match families and nannies who share values, not just availability.
We hold our caregivers — and ourselves — to a genuinely high standard.
We care about the children, the families, and the nannies we serve.
We believe a nanny deserves to work somewhere she is seen, respected, and valued — not just needed. If you are skilled, warm, and serious about your profession, we want to place you with a family that treats you like the professional you are.
Before placement, every nanny completes our in-house curriculum. It's what sets our caregivers apart.
Age-appropriate activities, milestones, and developmental support techniques.
Household safety, emergency response, and CPR fundamentals.
How to communicate with employers, handle boundaries, and report concerns.
Navigating diverse household cultures and family values with respect and sensitivity.

Tell us what your family needs. We'll do the rest — carefully, personally, and without rushing.
