Our Holiday Nanny Service in Europe: Rates, Vetting, and What Families Can Expect
Our Holiday Nanny Service in Europe: Rates, Vetting, and What’s Included Family travel is such a treasured experience for all family members – but it does require a lot from you as parents. Read: How To Raise Travel-Happy Kids by Kate Orson Between planning logistics, managing sleep schedules, packing, navigating new environments and trying to make the trip enjoyable for everyone, holidays with children can quickly become operational rather than restorative. That’s who so many families reach out to us these days to secure a travel nanny – not because they want less time with their children — but because they want to include better quality time together. Practical support allows parents to be more present, less stretched, and more relaxed throughout their trip. What Does It Feel Like to Travel with a Holiday Nanny? You wake up and the morning feels unhurried. If you decide to sleep in one morning, no problem. When you wake, your children are fed and sunscreen has been applied. Bags are packed thoughtfully. Someone remembers the hats, water bottles and diapers. There is an extra pair of hands when walking to the beach or navigating a busy city. You have space to actually enjoy your children rather than manage logistics. Throughout the day, your nanny can engage fully in play, swimming, outings and creative activities — while you step in and out as you wish. Evenings can include a dinner out, an event, or simply uninterrupted rest. The experience is structured support — not replacement parenting. Need some travel inspiration? Check out our travel guides!
