Can anyone recommend a nanny for weddings?

I'm looking for a nanny for my 23 month old daughter at my wedding on the 2nd of July - the wedding is in Taunton (Somerset).
Can anyone recommend someone in that area / who would travel?
My daughter is quite quiet and isn't in any kind of formal childcare, so finding someone who I think will be sensitive to that is of primary importance to me.
Not quite sure of times / duration just yet and to an extent that will depend on cost, but a rough indication of how much they charge would be wonderful!
Thanks :)

I think the question is how much are you thinking of paying. You can either try and find someone in the area or the other option is for someone to travel there but you may need to pay for their travel, childcare cost and maybe over night stay if it is for a late night. I know that some nannies/childminders would not mind travelling to the wedding (me included).

if there isnt anyone on here who can help, then contact some nanny agencies in that area, or ask the hotel if they can reconmend any nannies

many hotels that cater for weddings have a list of 'vetted' nannies (or least my area does)

Thanks for your help, interesting about over night costs as I hadn't factored that in.
What I'm hoping for is a recommendation!

I've used sitters (agency) for weddings before, in parts of the country where I knew no one.

Can I reccmomend myself?! www.hayleyevans.co.uk, it's slightly out of date now as I work as a childminder instead of a nanny, but I still do adhoc work on evenings and weekends and have done 3 wedding creches and plenty of overnights/hotel stays.

I live in Bristol. Good Luck!
