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.

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.

Nanny Lauren

Wedding Nanny

Lauren is passionate about child development and began her career working in a nursery while completing her qualification in Childhood Studies. She later continued her studies at university to train as a teacher, gaining valuable knowledge and experience in supporting children’s learning and growth. With both hands-on experience and academic training, Lauren brings warmth, patience, and a deep understanding of each child’s unique journey.

Even with a team of two, we felt there was still one more special person missing to complete our close-knit team. When we met Ross, we just knew she was the final piece of the puzzle. Just like Lauren, she connected with the heart behind The Wedding Nanny and she also joined the team in 2025.

Nanny Ross

Wedding Nanny

Ross has a strong background in childcare, beginning her career working in a nursery where she developed a solid foundation in early years development. She is now a professional nanny, providing attentive and personalised care to children in a home setting. Alongside this, Ross also works as a Family Hub Co-ordinator, where she supports families through helpful classes, instils confidence and community, and offers guidance while connecting them with additional resources. With her well-rounded experience and compassionate approach, Ross brings dedication, understanding, and genuine care to every family she works with.

We are incredibly proud of the service we provide and of everything we have achieved together as a team.

The Wedding Nanny is more than just a service, it is our commitment to ensuring your wedding day is not only magical for you, but also memorable for your children.

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.

Together, we celebrate family, growth and the unforgettable moments that make weddings so extraordinary.

With love,

Natalie, Lauren & Ross x
