New In Town: The Nanny Line
Dutch founder Josi van Ogtrop-Sambou first started this nanny agency in August 2016, with 10 years’ experience as a nanny and a degree in social work already under her belt. The Nanny Line provides nannies of all nationalities to families living in Barcelona and its surrounding areas. Their slogan is ‘more than a babysitter’, and with the wide variety of services they offer—from a Night Nanny for new parents to get a good night’s sleep, to a budget-friendly nanny sharing option—this seems fitting. Nannies are all individually screened by Josi herself and speak fluent English, and often other languages like Spanish, Italian or German too. Families pay a monthly membership fee of €9.95 to the agency, and then pay their nannies between €8 and €15 per hour for their services, which can cover everything from a one-off evening of babysitting for tourists, to a full-time live-in nanny.
