Choosing childcare while on holiday is one of the most important decisions a parent makes. Here’s what experienced families look for when selecting a nanny.

Experience and Qualifications

Look for nannies with verifiable experience caring for children of similar ages to your own. First-aid and CPR training should be standard, not optional.

Professional Vetting

A reputable agency will personally vet every nanny — interviewing, checking references and assessing their suitability. Never rely on unverified individual listings.

Communication and Responsiveness

The agency should respond promptly to your enquiry, answer your questions clearly and confirm all details in writing before your arrival.

Consistency

If you’re booking for multiple days, the same nanny should be provided wherever possible. Children benefit enormously from familiarity and routine.

Trust Your Instincts

A good nanny agency will be happy to answer any question you have — no matter how detailed. If something doesn’t feel right, keep looking.
