Who we are
Nigeria's Home for Professional Event Childcare
At The Event Nanny, we believe parents should be able to show up fully at every wedding, conference, celebration, and workday without worrying about where their children are or who is watching them.
Since 2017, we have been the childcare partner that families and brands across Nigeria trust. We arrive with trained care providers, a thoughtfully set-up creche, age-appropriate activities, and one unwavering commitment:
Fun for Kids. Peace for Parents.
We have served over 10,000 children and families, supported more than 150 events, and partnered with over 100 brands, including collaborations with UN Women. We don't just mind children. We create an experience they look forward to.
A WORD FROM OUR FOUNDER
Built from a Real Need
I started The Event Nanny because I saw a gap that no one was filling. Parents at events were stressed. Children were bored or unsafe. And no one had thought to solve it professionally. We changed that, and we haven't looked back.
— Mrs. Funmi Gombe
(Founder & CEO, The Event Nanny)
