About +One

A real team behind every nanny.

+One was founded in Lisbon in 2021 by Agnes Bourrat and Estefânia Gama, with a simple idea: families deserve more than a list of profiles. They deserve people who take the time to understand them.

Our story

Founder-led, and personal by design

We are both personally involved in every match. We meet the families, learn their routines, values and household needs, and only then introduce nannies we would trust in our own homes.

Parents aren't only buying hours of childcare. They're buying trust, time back with their family, less mental load, and a compatible professional with responsive people behind her. That's what we built +One to give.

We are both mothers of two and raise international families ourselves, so we know first-hand what it takes to trust someone with your children, far from home.

Agnes Bourrat, Managing Director, is Hungarian by background, was raised in London and has made Lisbon home. She speaks English, Portuguese and Hungarian. Before +One, she founded BouBou's in Príncipe Real, a restaurant featured in the Michelin Guide, where she learned to lead large teams and hold the highest standards of service.

Estefânia Gama, co-founder, runs our operations, from contracts and payroll to the care behind every placement.

Today we serve international and local families across Lisbon and Cascais, and place full-time nannies worldwide, including the Middle East and the United States.
