Teddy Bear Nannies is owned by Rochelle Billing, who is both Ofsted registered and NNEB trained, with over 20 years’ experience working as a nanny for children ranging from newborns to teenage.
She has also been a manager of soft play centres for children and has extensive proficiency organising and running children’s parties, wedding crèches, and corporate events. Most importantly she is also a mother of two children herself.
We first engaged with Rochelle in August 2007. We were looking for a nanny to take care of our two children (then 2 and 4). We warmed to Rochelle immediately and were impressed with the interview she did with us to ascertain the type of family we were and the kind of nanny that would fit into our lives.
Rochelle quickly grasped what was important to us and the CVs of the nannies she sent us were all relevant and matched our brief. We interviewed a couple of nannies shortly afterwards and throughout the interviews, Rochelle asked for feedback on each candidate ... and indeed often anticipated our comments before we articulated them - showing her depth of understanding of our family and our needs.
It was a Saturday when we were considering the applications we'd had to date, when Rochelle phoned us. She'd just interviewed what she felt was the perfect nanny for us ... and wanted to know if we could see the nanny immediately. We did ... and we recruited her that weekend - she was the best nanny we've ever had!
Rochelle was a pleasure to work with and we would have no hesitation about recommending her to any family looking to recruit a nanny.
