The masterclass was educational, well organised and enjoyable. It helped me get a much better picture of the role of Family Assistant, and I met other women who are going to do the same work. The variety among them was lovely and shows how versatile this profession can be.

After a personal meeting with Naomi, the agency will surely find a suitable family for my profile. She has done a great job, because she has had the patience, experience and interest to take her time and obtain enough elements to know what the profile is. Very nice interview. As a nanny, I highly recommend.

What drives us

My vision for TFA has been shaped by years of experience on both sides. After ten years as a Nanny and later as a Family Assistant, I know the substance, the responsibility and the value of this profession. As an entrepreneur and a mother of three, I know from my own experience how much it means to have someone at home you can trust completely.

I believe the right person in your home brings more than calm. It brings trust, continuity and the space to grow, both as a family and in your career. That belief is why we are building a professional standard at TFA, with personal attention, quality, development and good employment practice at its heart.
