The Boutique VIP Nanny & Governess Agency
EED is a specialist placement agency for exceptional nannies, governesses, tutors and household staff. We have been placing the world's most discerning families with the candidates they trust since 2010.
Elite Educational Development
EED — Elite Educational Development — was founded in 2010 by a team with first-hand experience of working in private VIP households. We understood what families needed, what candidates experienced, and where other agencies fell short. That knowledge is the foundation of everything we do.
We operate as a boutique agency by design. We work with a carefully selected pool of clients and candidates, and we represent both sides of every placement personally. Our client list includes UHNW individuals, royal households, heads of industry, celebrity families and private principals across Europe, the Middle East and beyond.
Most of our clients are repeat clients or come to us through word-of-mouth recommendation. That is not an accident — it is the result of 15 years of going above and beyond on every single placement.

"EED took great care in matching my qualities with the requirements of the family and have been equally helpful with post-placement support. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to work as a nanny, governess or governor."

Why Families & Candidates Choose EED
Boutique & Personal
We are not a database agency. Every client and every candidate is handled personally by a member of our team. We know our candidates' strengths, our clients' expectations, and we only make introductions we believe in.
Absolute Discretion
Confidentiality is non-negotiable. All placements operate under NDA. Client identities are protected at every stage, and candidate details are never shared without explicit consent. Our clients trust us completely — and we take that seriously.
End-to-End Support
From the initial search through to placement, relocation, visa support and post-placement check-ins — we are available throughout. We are on the phone when things come up, not just at the point of placement.
Replacement Guarantee
Every EED placement includes a candidate replacement guarantee. In the rare event a placement does not work out, we find a replacement — because our commitment to clients does not end when the contract is signed.
Thoroughly Vetted Candidates
Every candidate is background checked, reference checked and personally interviewed before we present them to a client. We provide all necessary contracts and ensure full compliance with the relevant legal requirements in each placement country.
First-Hand Experience
Our team has direct experience working in VIP household and education roles. We understand the reality of life in a private household — for both families and candidates — and that insight informs every placement we make.
