Nanny in Madrid
Bilingual nannies, Montessori-trained and first-aid certified, for families in Salamanca, Chamberí and La Moraleja — first profiles within 48 hours, and you only pay if you hire.
Madrid has one of the highest demands for nannies anywhere in Spain: dual-career households, international families tied to the British, French and American schools, and parents who want far more than supervision. They want stimulation, languages and consistent routines for their children, without having to sift through dozens of CVs themselves.
Needs vary widely from one family to another: from caring for a newborn to looking after several school-age siblings, with routines, languages and, at times, the Montessori method as the common thread. Some prioritise native English or French, others need genuine experience with babies, and many simply want consistency in hours and habits. Every household is different, which is why we never just forward a CV.
At Maids & Co we screen nannies for Madrid with an in-depth interview, direct reference checks and proof of training (Montessori, first aid and newborn experience where relevant). We send you the first matching profiles within 48 hours, registered with Social Security from day one, and you pay nothing until you hire.

Areas we cover
Demand for nannies in Madrid clusters along the north-east axis and the north-west corridor. In Salamanca, Chamberí and Chamartín, families typically need a live-out nanny to cover the school run, after-school clubs and afternoons, often with homework support and hours that shift every term.
In the developments — La Moraleja, La Finca, Puerta de Hierro, Conde de Orgaz, Aravaca and Pozuelo de Alarcón — homes are larger, there are several children, and families look for live-in or full-time nannies, often bilingual given how close the international schools are. We know each area and tailor the profile to the logistics of each home: own car, split shifts and family travel.
We cover the whole Madrid region, from the centre to the developments: Salamanca, Chamberí, Chamartín, La Moraleja, La Finca, Puerta de Hierro, Conde de Orgaz, Aravaca, Pozuelo de Alarcón and Las Rozas, among others.
