My Big Buddy
London’s Original Male Nanny Agency
About Us – a Male Nanny Agency in London
Families come in all shapes and sizes but share one thing — children thrive when guided by a positive male role model. At My Big Buddy, we believe this wholeheartedly. Our passion is connecting confident, experienced young men with families who are looking for their dream Buddy. As London’s leading male nanny agency, we focus on the quality of care we deliver, not just availability.
Founded in 2006, My Big Buddy is the original male nanny agency in London. We started with a simple belief: some children flourish under the guidance of a Buddy — a confident, caring, and engaging male caregiver. While female nannies have long been the norm, more and more families are embracing the fresh energy Buddies bring. Today, My Big Buddy is one of London’s most in-demand childcare agencies. (See here why a positive male role model is a must for children.) Our team brings experience from business, operations, teaching, childcare, education, HR, and family support. Every member is committed to building strong, trusted relationships and providing an exceptional service to both families and Buddies.

The kind of childcare we offer to families
Across London and beyond, families choose the unique benefits of having a positive, energetic male role model in their children’s lives. Buddies create meaningful mentorships, lead active play, and bring structure, balance, and fun to everyday routines — a difference that many families say is transformative.
My Big Buddy offers far more than traditional full-time placements. Through our membership model, families can book Buddies for regular part-time care or ad-hoc support, choosing from three flexible tiers that suit different schedules and budgets. Memberships cost less than the usual salary-percentage fees and give families flexibility without long-term commitment.
