Founded in 2006
At My Big Buddy, we pioneered quality male Buddy placements in London. Founded in 2006, we are London’s original male nanny agency, built on the belief that some children flourish under the guidance of a confident, caring and engaging male role model. Families choose us for our experience, integrity, flexibility and our ability to create Buddy matches that genuinely work.

Our difference

Every placement is thoughtfully matched to suit each family’s needs and routine.
Our services and membership options adapt as your family grows and changes.

A positive influence
Across London and beyond, families value the unique benefits of having a positive, energetic male role model in their children’s lives.
Our Buddies create meaningful mentorships, encourage active play, and bring structure, balance and fun to everyday routines—a difference many families describe as truly transformative.
Flexible family life
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 flexible tiers that suit different schedules and budgets. Memberships cost less than traditional salary-percentage fees and give families flexibility without long-term commitment.
We help families find the right Buddy with warmth, care and confidence.
