What you have when you become a Buddy – a male childcarer in London
- Meaningful, flexible work that fits around your life—auditions, lectures or another job. Be a positive role model, share your talents, and get paid to turn screen time into sport, creativity and confidence.
- Build real relationships and make a visible difference, from homework breakthroughs to weekend adventures. Choose local shifts that suit you, backed by safeguarding-first support and reliable pay.

My Big Buddy, London’s original male nanny agency, was founded in 2006 with the belief that some children thrive under the guidance of a “Buddy”—a confident, caring, and engaging male caregiver. While female nannies have long been the norm, families are increasingly drawn to the fresh dynamic that Buddies and Mannies and bring.
My Big Buddy is now one of London’s most in-demand childcare agencies. As an agency we continue to grow. Our staff have backgrounds in business, operations, teaching, childcare, education, HR and family support – they are committed to delivering exceptional service while nurturing a strong, trusted network of families and caregivers.
Families across the city and beyond are choosing the unique benefits of having a positive, energetic male role model in their children’s lives. Buddies often form strong mentorship bonds, provide structure through active play, and offer a balanced, hands-on approach to care—particularly impactful for children who benefit from male influence in their everyday lives.
