Childcare &
Nanny Services
Certified, Caring Professionals Your Children Will Love
From newborn specialists to after-school carers — every COHCASEL nanny is background-checked, first-aid certified, and child-development trained. Trusted by over 400 families across Nigeria and the diaspora.
Your Child's Safety
Is Our First Priority
Your Child Deserves More Than Someone Who's Available
Finding a nanny through a WhatsApp group or a referral from a friend is how most families in Nigeria do it. It works — until it doesn't. An unverified stranger, no contract, no training, and no accountability.
COHCASEL takes a fundamentally different approach. Every nanny in our network is background-checked, professionally trained, first-aid certified, and placed through a structured matching process that considers your child's age, personality, and specific needs.
We serve local Lagos families, returning diaspora households, and Nigerians abroad who need trusted care managed for their families back home — all under one roof.
Every nanny is 5-step vetted

Every Nanny We Place Meets These Standards
We don't just find someone available. We find someone qualified, verified, and genuinely right for your child.
Police Clearance — Every Placement
Every nanny holds a current criminal record certificate. No exceptions, no shortcuts. We re-verify annually and check across multiple state databases.
Paediatric First Aid Certified
All childcare staff complete paediatric first aid and infant CPR training before their first placement. Certification is renewed every 12 months.
Child Development Training
Our nannies understand developmental milestones, age-appropriate activities, and how to support cognitive and emotional growth — not just babysit.
CHMC Childcare Certification
COHCASEL's own childcare standard goes beyond market norms. Nannies who hold CHMC certification are trained, assessed, and re-evaluated annually.
48-Hour Replacement Guarantee
If a placement doesn't work out in the first 30 days, we replace within 48 hours at no additional agency fee. We stand behind every match we make.
Diaspora Family Support
Living abroad? We manage the nanny, send weekly video updates, and provide a family WhatsApp group — so you're always connected to your children's care.
