Beyond the name: Unveiling the faces

Nanny Natalie

Proud Founder of The Wedding Nanny

Caring for children has been my calling for as long as I can remember. Even as a little girl, I knew deep down that I was meant to nurture, guide and protect. My loving, compassionate nature needed a place to shine and nannying became the perfect path. There is nothing more rewarding than being part of a child's world helping them learn, grow and feel safe. Over the years, I’ve gained not only experience but a deep understanding of what families truly need: reliability, trust, flexibility, and genuine care.

In 2016, I started Private Nanny® with one simple belief - that every family deserves support that fits seamlessly into their lives. Unlike a nursery or a school, my service was built to grow and adapt with them. Life with a baby isn’t always predictable, and I wanted parents to know they had someone they could count on, someone who would be there when they needed it most.

And then, something wonderful happened my little dream began to grow.

PrivateNanny®

Chesterfield Based

My work has since grown far beyond a single household. I’ve had the privilege of supporting numerous families across Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire, each with their own unique story and needs. Some of my roles began just weeks after a baby’s arrival, offering parents reassurance and gentle support during those precious early days. Others continued through the exciting infant years, guiding children as they learned, explored and developed their own personalities. Many of my positions have lasted right up until the children began their early years education and with some families, I am still proudly by their side today, providing consistency, stability and care that grows alongside their children.

As my portfolio of families grew, a wonderful opportunity naturally unfolded. Along the way, I was asked to nanny at some of my families' weddings. It was through these experiences that I discovered something truly special and in 2021, The Wedding Nanny® was born.

I realised that for many couples, children are already a precious part of their love story by the time they say "I do." While weddings are joyful and filled with love, they can also be overwhelming, especially when little ones need care and attention on such an important day. Drawing on my experience and passion for providing something unique, I knew I could offer a service that not only supports children but also gives parents and couples complete peace of mind.

Since then, I've had the privilege of being part of some truly beautiful weddings across the UK. From intimate celebrations to grand occasions, I've cared for children of all ages, ensuring they are safe, comfortable and included, while allowing parents to relax and fully enjoy every moment of their special day.

Today, I am proud to say that The Wedding Nanny® offers families a trusted, high-quality service built on professionalism, experience

and genuine care. My goal is simple: to give you complete confidence that your children are in safe, loving hands, so you can focus on creating memories that will last a lifetime.

As The Wedding Nanny continued to grow, I realised the need for additional support to meet the increasing demand. When I met Lauren, I instantly knew she would be the perfect fit. To my delight, she loved the concept of The Wedding Nanny and joined me in 2025.

As The Wedding Nanny continued to grow, so did our team. We have always been incredibly selective about the professionals we welcome, looking not only for experience and expertise, but for people who genuinely understand the values and high standards behind our service.

In 2025, Ross joined the team. With her extensive childcare experience and a shared passion for providing exceptional care to children and families, she was a natural fit for The Wedding Nanny and another wonderful addition to our growing team.

With her well-rounded experience and compassionate approach, Ross brings dedication, understanding, and genuine care to every family she works with.

As demand for our specialist service continued to grow, 2026 brought another exciting chapter for The Wedding Nanny, with Lianne and Ruby joining our team and bringing their own valuable experience across education, early years and neonatal care.

Every child deserves to feel safe and included, and every parent deserves the peace of mind that comes from knowing their babies are in caring, capable hands.
