My name is Laura McCarthy, I am 34 years old and a mum to a beautiful daughter called Ava who is currently 15 months. I am based in Cork and set up my own business as an exclusive wedding nanny service with a team of exceptional caring and experienced minders. We have over 10 years experience in babysitting of all ages. Between the childminders we hold a level 8 degree from University College Cork in BIS, an undergraduate degree in Early Childhood Studies (UCC), a masters in Primary School teaching (MIC) and a registered nurse. We are fully garda vetted and first aid trained. We cover the Munster region, however we do go further afield if required and some weddings we have in the pipeline are based in Dublin and Clare.

On my wedding day, I experienced the challenges of finding a reliable childminder. I knew I really wanted my little girl to be apart of my big day but I was worried of searching for someone caring and trustworthy. I was so lucky to find Liv who is one of our most valued team members, she was exceptional and always reported back to me on how my daughter was doing/napping etc. This service was completely invaluable to me and it meant I could fully enjoy time with family and friends. Inspired by this experience, I wanted to support other hard working mums ensuring their special day was stress free and their little ones are well cared for.

As a bride you want to enjoy the entire wedding experience from getting ready in the morning to mingling with friends during the drinks reception into the early hours of the morning. At McCarthy wedding nanny services, we eliminate any stress and help look after your loved ones while still having them close by so you can enjoy their company.
