Peter & Sue

"We have recently employed a nanny who was matched with us through Kay at Harmony at Home. We could not be happier with the whole experience. It was incredibly easy with Kay taking on the initial interviews, reference checking, legal checks and verification of qualifications. We then interviewed two selected candidates and found the most incredible nanny for our daughter who we already cannot imagine life without!"

Sophy Barrow

"I couldn't recommend Kay enough! She has been nothing but helpful from the start to now the end of my journey with Harmony at home. Kay took the time to listen to my job requirements and what I was looking for and sent me jobs that were relevant to this. Once applying Kay kept me up to date as much as possible and helped me to find my dream job! She made the process feel so simple and I would point everyone looking for a role as a nanny / housekeeper in Kay’s direction. Thank you again!"
