What does a Holiday Nanny do?
Bringing a holiday nanny along on your family vacation ensures seamless childcare support. Before your departure, you'll have the opportunity to organize all details with your nanny, such as their working hours, your family's daily routine, specific tasks for each day, and any special clothing requirements.
Your nanny may take on responsibilities like preparing children's meals, joining them for dinner, or supervising activities around the pool. They understand that plans can change unexpectedly and remain flexible to accommodate shifting schedules.
The ultimate aim is to make your holiday experience enjoyable and stress-free, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in relaxation and create cherished memories with your loved ones.
How do you choose your Nannies?
We choose our nannies based on a comprehensive assessment of their qualifications, skills, experience, and personalities. Each nanny undergoes thorough interviews, provides both verbal and written references, and undergoes document verification, including a criminal record check, passport review, first aid certification, and any relevant childcare certificates.
Maintaining regular communication with our nannies is key. We stay updated on their evolving skills and availability for family holiday placements. We value feedback from families, reaching out before, during, and after vacations to ensure the highest level of satisfaction with the holiday nanny experience.
Holiday Nanny packages
The packages listed are for a 7-day period. If you require your nanny for a different duration, whether longer or shorter, please contact us for a personalised arrangement. We're here to accommodate your specific needs.
