We are Arthur’s House. Bespoke childcare solutions and expert support.
What we stand for
Transparency
Hiring a nanny into your home is a two way street and should be the start of an amazing relationship for parents, nannies and children alike.
We think that current services do half a job. Often, families are unsure about the basics of what is required when employing someone and nannies are often left in the dark until they turn up on day one.
We want to challenge the status quo by using years of experience built up in corporate environments to professionalise the nanny recruitment industry.
Trust
We feel that there is a gap at present where nannies and families are not fully vetted before being matched.
We want to focus on the small things that make a massive difference to the day to day working environment for both parties.
Families should be fully assured that any nanny working through Arthur’s House is legally compliant and has impeccable references.
Nannies should be able to trust that jobs they get from us are with the right people, with the basic rights they require and provide them with the right working environment.
Support
Employing people can be complicated. Legalities are ever changing and things can go wrong.
We see a massive gap in the ongoing support that most agencies are currently providing to their clients.
We want families and nannies to have a place to turn to when they have questions and concerns. We will act as a virtual HR department for you through the duration of your placement.
Meet the Team
We’re working to build a professional and dedicated team at Arthur’s House who will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of our business but who are also dedicated to growing a strong community of nannies and clients alike.

Katie Hulbert-Powell
FOUNDER
Katie has over 18 years experience in HR, People and Talent acquisition having worked establishing culture and people operations as a Chief People Officer in growing businesses in the city.
When her son was born she was introduced to the nanny agency landscape and was amazed at how little support agencies were giving people. Not just in finding good childcare but also the lack of any ongoing support for families and nannies. Entering into an employment relationship can be hard to navigate.
Katie is determined to do things better by bringing her corporate experience to the childcare market.

Gracie Amodio
DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY
Gracie is a highly experienced nanny having worked with families from all around the world. Gracie has also worked as a senior adoption social worker in fostering and adoption and as a matron in a boarding school.
Throughout her career as a nanny she realised there was a real need to match families with the right child-care and experienced firsthand the struggles families (and nannies) had in finding the right match. Gracie believes in the importance of building a community of nannies by providing ongoing support and a collaborative network.
