Hi, I 'm Tamara de la Cruz
Founder and Managing director of Nest & Kin.
Working in the Private Household Service sector has been an amazing journey filled with special connections and lifelong friendships. Every day I have the pleasure of helping both clients and candidates establish meaningful relationships that often last for many years. It’s been a privilege to work alongside such a varied collection of talented people, from highly educated professionals to high profile celebrities – all seeking something different yet equally important: the perfect candidate!
At Nest and Kin, each placement is a chance to make someone’s life easier and more satisfying. We are devoted to finding the perfect fit for all our clients and candidates with absolute attention to detail, discretion, integrity & care.
As a mother myself I understand first-hand the concerns parents have when choosing childcare providers. I know how crucial certain key characteristics are for ensuring peace of mind for everyone involved.
Why did I start this business?
As a parent, I understand how important it is to find trustworthy, reliable, and caring childcare. When I couldn’t find the right fit for my own family, I realized there was a gap in the market for a personalized, professional service that truly understands both parents and children's needs. This is why I started Nest & Kin — to help families connect with experienced nannies who are not only highly qualified but also compassionate and trustworthy. My goal is to ensure every family has the peace of mind that their children are in safe, capable hands, and to make the nanny search process as seamless and stress-free as possible.
