Nanny Polly

Polly’s Story

As I reflect on the origins of Polly, I’m transported back to my childhood, watching my grandmother (Polly) work her magic in the Strong household. Mr. Strong, a prosperous factory owner, lived in a magnificent house perched atop the hill. It was there that I witnessed the birth of what would become Polly’s core values.

Polly always arrived precisely on time, her punctuality a testament to her professionalism. As she tidied the kitchen, I marveled at her efficiency. It was as if a fairy had waved her wand, transforming the chaos left by the family’s busy schedule into pristine order.


I often questioned why she went to such lengths, like vacuuming behind the sofa where no one would see. But these seemingly small gestures didn’t go unnoticed by the Strongs. Polly’s attention to detail and commitment to excellence became the cornerstone of Polly’s ethos.


One day, Mr. Strong happened to be home during Polly’s shift. She carefully avoided being seen, not wanting to disturb his routine – a level of consideration we’ve instilled in all of Polly’s staff. I remember Mr. Strong offering me what seemed like a fortune to a young boy – five pounds to wash his Rolls-Royce. As I scrubbed those enormous alloy wheels, I felt an overwhelming sense of pride. I imagined Mr. Strong’s impressed reaction, though I knew I might never see it.


“That experience taught me a valuable lesson: sometimes, the satisfaction of a job well done is its own reward. This principle is now at the heart of Polly’s work ethic.”

Polly always made sure to water the plants on her way out after each shift. These thoughtful touches allowed Mr. Strong to focus on running his business, freeing up his weekends to enjoy with his family. At Polly, we understand that by caring for the little things, we give our clients the gift of time.


We founded Polly to carry forward my grandmother’s legacy of exceptional service. In a world where such dedication seems increasingly rare, we strive to embody her meticulous care, professionalism, and pride in a job well done. Through Polly, my grandmother’s work ethic lives on, through our team and through the families we help,  just like Mr Strong’s.
