Help Unlimited offer a broad range of childcare services, from maternity nurses to assist with those first few weeks with your new baby, to fully qualified nannies who can provide continuous loving care for your child or children as they grow up.

MATERNITY NURSES are an ideal solution for parents of newly born babies, who are looking for an extra pair of hands during those difficult first few weeks and months. A maternity nurse can help with everything from assisting mothers in their recuperation following the birth, to establishing routines for the newborn baby. Many new parents struggle to cope with a new baby, particularly if it is their first child, as it can be a daunting experience. Maternity Nurses are there to guide you through and teach you how to care for your new baby, ensuring the experience is a magical one, rather than difficult and stressful. As the majority of Maternity Nurses will sleep in the baby’s room, they can also give you the opportunity of a much needed good night’s sleep which would otherwise be impossible. Maternity nurses are a short term placement but here at Help Unlimited we will work with you to establish the right period of time you require a maternity nurse and to place the right candidate in the position.

If you are looking for more long-term professional care, then you should be considering a full time nanny.

NANNIES are flexible and fit in with your family life in a way that suits you best, whether this is around your work or your child’s school commitments. Nannies offer continuous loving care for your child or children and are very often seen as an extension of the real family. Strong bonds can be formed with nannies, so it is essential that you appoint someone who will suit your family life. Here at Help Unlimited we pride ourselves on working with you to provide the perfect nanny for your home situation.

MOTHER’S HELP is an ideal solution if you are looking for some assistance with bringing up the children, but would prefer to do the bulk of the childcare yourself. Those applying for positions as a mother’s help are often younger and less experienced than nannies, but the services they offer, working alongside you with every aspect of raising the children, can be invaluable.

AU PAIRS are yet another solution to childcare assistance. Au pairs are young, unmarried, people from abroad, they can be male, female or even a couple who come to the UK to improve their English and learn the English culture, in return for a minimum of 25 hours per week. They live as part of your family but offer that much needed extra pair of hands, for anything from light housework, entertainment for the children, babysitting and school runs etc. Although not qualified, so unable to take sole responsibility for very young children, au pairs are a recognised form of childcare, governed by Home Office regulations. Requiring only a small amount of pocket money each week, an au pair could be an excellent solution to your childcare needs. Here at Help Unlimited, we have many years experience both of placing au pairs with clients and in employing au pairs in our own homes, so we feel we have a unique and valuable insight in this field of childcare.

Don’t take our word for it, read what some of our satisfied clients and au pairs say about us:-

I have used Help Unlimited for the last 4 years. They have consistently provided us with lovely people to be part of our family. All the au-pairs we have had have kept in touch and we have even been to visit some of them at their homes. We look for flexibility, reliability and people who will really care for our child – people who are in every sense part of the family – and that is exactly what Help Unlimited specialise in. We need to know that these people have been vetted and are suitable – which is why we use them and not one of the many au-pair websites that are now available – we tried that first with terrible results – and it took too much time!

Anna is a joy to deal with as she is always very candid and open as well as reliable – which is what one needs when it is the care of our children we are trusting her with. They are not just going to send you who they have – they will look at your circumstances – tell you who they have or do a search, but equally they will tell you if they do not think someone is right for you, which with all their experience they are best placed to do. One only has to look at all the support sites to know that many people find this a complete nightmare – but with help from Help Unlimited this is not the case!

We spent an amazing year in Norfolk as an Aupair couple. The agency found us two lovely families and we helped both and got to know them very well, living with them as part of their family. The families had 7 children between them and we had a great time playing games, like Monopoly, table tennis and also bouncing on the trampoline! We have seen a lovely part of England and we also went on holiday to Scotland. We have improved our English substantially and we have yet another experience to tell our families and friends. Help Unlimited were there whenever we needed them!

I like having au pairs as they make us chocolate cake!

We heard wonderful things about Help Unlimited through 3 different friends last summer & so put in a request for a mother’s help from 9am to 6pm during ˝ term. It was very simple to fill out their form and within a few days Help Unlimited had several options for us. It couldn’t have been easier; Help Unlimited put us in touch with such a nice girl who had grown up locally. She was a real pleasure to have in the house; she was cheerful and incredibly helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and it ended up being the most marvellous holiday for all of us. I won’t hesitate to use Help Unlimited again and again.
