Newborn Care Specialist
Mercia Executive Services carefully selects highly qualified Newborn Care Specialists to support families throughout a baby’s first months of life. We also place specialised professionals who provide expert guidance during pregnancy and the postnatal period, including Midwives, Doulas, Maternity Nurses, Lactation Consultants, and Sleep Consultants.
While some families seek the ongoing support of a dedicated Newborn Care Specialist capable of overseeing every aspect of a baby’s care, others require highly specialised expertise in areas such as sleep, breastfeeding, or postnatal recovery. Our role is to identify and select the professional best suited to their needs, tailoring each search to the unique requirements of every family.
The professionals we place support parents with expertise, discretion, and sensitivity. Each candidate combines strong technical knowledge, proven experience, and a reassuring approach focused on the wellbeing and balance of the entire household.
Through an attentive and highly professional presence, they help create a calm and well-organised environment, enabling parents to navigate the challenges and changes that accompany the arrival of a child with greater confidence and peace of mind.
Every search is guided by the highest standards of quality, professionalism, and discretion, with the objective of identifying the professional best suited to each family’s circumstances.
Nanny
At Mercia Executive Services, we select Nannies and Childcare Specialists who combine professionalism, discretion, reliability, educational sensitivity, and a natural understanding of family dynamics.
We carefully identify Nannies with experience in traditional weaning and baby-led weaning, a variety of educational approaches, including Montessori-inspired methods, and age-appropriate developmental support designed to foster independence, emotional balance, and confidence throughout childhood.
Our professionals support families in managing daily routines, extracurricular activities, travel arrangements, and periods of transition, helping to create a calm, structured, and harmonious environment both at home and while travelling.
Many of our candidates hold academic qualifications in Education, Pedagogy, or Child Psychology and are able to support children's cognitive, emotional, behavioural, and relational development with sensitivity and professionalism.
Depending on each family's requirements, we place live-in, live-out, travelling, and rota nannies, ensuring continuity, flexibility, and seamless integration into the family's lifestyle.
Childcare Support & Protection
Particular attention is also given to the selection of Childcare Specialists for short-term assignments and specific objectives, designed to support children and families through particular developmental stages or periods of change.
These interventions may focus on developing independent toileting skills, establishing healthy sleep routines, nutritional education, emotional regulation, behavioural challenges, and other developmental needs.
The objective is not simply to address a temporary difficulty, but to provide both the child and the family with practical tools and effective strategies that can be maintained over time.
For families requiring an additional level of reassurance, we also select Nannies with specialist training in child safety, emergency response, and risk prevention, capable of providing a discreet, vigilant, and well-prepared presence during travel, public events, and other situations requiring heightened awareness and attention.

Governess & Academic Tutor
At Mercia Executive Services, we carefully select highly qualified Governesses and Tutors capable of providing a structured educational pathway combined with a discreet and attentive presence in a child's daily life, fostering personal, social, and intellectual development within a balanced and nurturing environment.
Our Governesses are typically university-educated, often native English speakers, with experience in international educational settings and multicultural households. They oversee academic organisation, educational support, and extracurricular activities, coordinating tutors, educational programmes, and communication between the family, schools, and external professionals.
Alongside Governess placements, we also identify Tutors specialising in academic support, language learning, exam preparation, homework assistance, and study skills, developing personalised educational programmes tailored to each child's age, curriculum, and academic goals.
Particular attention is given to professionals experienced in supporting children and adolescents through periods of growth, transition, and change, fostering independence, organisation, self-confidence, and strong interpersonal skills.
Depending on each family's requirements, we place Governesses and Tutors on a part-time or full-time basis, ensuring educational continuity, flexibility, and seamless integration into the family's daily life.
