The Modern Solution: Nanny PA and Mother’s Help Services
At Tiya Priscilla, we specialise in hybrid roles
These bespoke services bridge the gap between traditional childcare and household support, offering you a Nanny Personal Assistant or Mother’s Help to ensure your home runs as smoothly as your nursery routine.
Modern family life in the UK is rarely 9-to-5. For many households, standard childcare doesn't quite cover the logistical complexities of running a busy home. Whether you are balancing a demanding career or navigating the exhaustion of the newborn phase, you might find that you need more than just a babysitter—you need a partner in parenting.
What is a Nanny Personal Assistant (Nanny PA)?
A Nanny Personal Assistant is the ultimate support system for working parents. This role combines professional childcare with the organisational skills of a household manager.
While the primary focus remains on the wellbeing and development of your children, a Nanny PA utilises the hours when children are at school or napping to tackle the "life admin" that often overwhelms busy parents.
How a Nanny PA Supports Your Family
Instead of spending your evenings sorting through emails or booking dentist appointments, a Nanny PA takes the reins. As highlighted in our Nanny PA Services, we assist with:
Family Schedule Organiser: Managing the family diary, ensuring no appointment or social engagement is missed.
Logistics & Errands: Booking medical appointments, researching holidays, or sourcing tutors.
Extracurricular Management: Coordinating clubs, hobbies, and the necessary kit required for them.
Household Administration: Liaising with other household staff, contractors, or handling bill payments.
This role is ideal for families with school-aged children who need a responsible adult to handle the school run and homework, but also require administrative support during the day.
Mother’s Help: The Extra Pair of Hands You Need
Unlike a sole-charge Nanny who takes full responsibility for the children while you are away, a Mother’s Help typically works alongside you. This role is a lifeline for many, serving as a mother’s helper for new mums or parents with multiple young children.
The transition to life with a newborn or managing a toddler alongside a baby can be daunting. A Mother’s Help provides the shared care and domestic support that allows you to breathe.
Duties of a Mother’s Help
As outlined in our Mother's Help and Household Support services, this role is about flexibility and teamwork:
Shared Care: assisting with bath time, nappy changes, or holding the baby while you take a much-needed shower or nap.
Household Management: Assisting with household duties including laundry, ironing, and keeping the nursery and play areas organised.
Meal Preparation: Preparing nutritious meals and snacks tailored to the child's dietary needs, or helping prep family dinners.
Errand Running: Popping to the shops or picking up prescriptions.
Nanny PA vs. Mother’s Help: Which Hybrid Role is Right for You?
Choosing between a Nanny personal assistant and Mother’s Help depends on the age of your children and your specific pain points.
