WEST Devon parents who are struggling to juggle work and childcare, are being offered a helping hand as a new nannying service has been launched.

The Westcountry Nannies and Childcare Agency has been set up to offer a range of childcare services to parents, such as baby-sitters, wedding nannies, maternity nurses and governesses, but also helps to find suitable positions for anyone looking for a career in childcare.

May Daniels, part of the Westcountry Nannies and Childcare Agency team, said: 'Our aim is to help families find the appropriate childcare and help those who wish to pursue a career in looking after children.

'We offer a wide range of childcare services but most of all we offer support and can assist parents to find the help they need.'
