Who are nomenial?

Nomenial’s parent company Auxistencia is a well-established Spanish company specialising in the recommendation of private carers for British expats living on the coast.

Nomenial was founded to service a growing demand from their clients for associated household services such as cleaning, maintenance, childcare, cooking, driving and gardening. We recognised these roles were no menial tasks, they sit at the heart of a smooth-running household, and soon there was a clear demand to provide the same introductions service in the UK.

Nomenial has an extensive portfolio of household professionals waiting to be matched to the unique requirements of your UK home. We create a detailed profile of the person you wish to employ, including their skills, references and personal qualities before compiling a profile of shortlisted candidates.

When you’ve found your match, you employ them directly, confident Nomenial is always on hand to make any further introductions to future workers.

What we do

We understand that a domestic assistant within a household leads to an harmonious home life.

You want someone who blends into your home, takes care of its occupants and takes pride in your surroundings. We eliminate the legwork of endless interviews and reference-chasing by sourcing and shortlisting those candidates who match what you’re looking for.

You then meet our recommended matches and then either directly employ them, or come back to Nomenial with refined criteria and we’ll use this to make some new introductions.

Emily Warren 46, London

I work in the City of London and have both a nanny and a housekeeper from Nomenial. I was looking, from the very beginning, for an agency without the picture of a castle in the background: the staff and service of Nomenial are down to earth and friendly - we speak the same language

Michael Brown 51, Manchester

Would highly recommend. I searched around for different options for hiring a live in nanny and then stumbled across Nomenial. Excellent service - cheaper than all the other options.

Cindy Thomas 48, Leeds

It took them several weeks to eventually find me a housekeeper - but i don't mind too much because in the end it was worth the wait. I live in a remote village so I was worried about being able to find someone.

Martha Reynolds 56, London

Very attentive staff. Would recommend and use their services again if needed.

Oliver McKee 49, Edimburgh

To be honest it was a little bit more expensive than I was initially hoping to pay for a nanny, but in fairness the service was excellent and they did make my life easier.

Johnathan Folks 52, London

I'm very satisfied with the service that our family have received from nomenial. It would've been so much more difficult without them to find a housekeeper as flexible.

Some things we get asked fairly often

How long does the process take?
When we know who you’re looking for, we spend three weeks identifying, interviewing and screening potential candidates to be shortlisted. You then select who you would like to meet or adjust your search criteria within 48 hours so Nomenial can make additional recommendations.
Who's the employer?
At Nomenial we give you two types of service depending on the number of hours you need. If you require more than 15 hours you have the possibility to be the employer or we can hire the employee for you. Below 10 hours you will have to be the employer.
Is there a minimum number of hours?
Yes, we consider the minimum to be 10 hours. Below 10 hours, recruitment becomes too difficult and therefore not worthwhile for either party.
What if I don’t like any of my matches?
We will look for another one that better matches your expectations. As long as you give us comprehensive feedback after a candidate has been presented and discarded, we will be able to refine the search criteria and improve.
What happens if the employee quits?
We will replace him/her in the shortest possible time. Our commitment is to maintain continuity of service so that your world is not disrupted for external reasons.
