Why nannies choose us

A family you will want to stay with

Good nanny work starts with the right match rather than the salary: the child's age, the parenting approach, the family's rhythm and your own principles need to fit together. If that is the kind of position you are looking for, leave a request and a manager will contact you.

Work formats

Live-in, live-out or travelling with the family

Most nanny vacancies are permanent positions with one family. A live-in nanny has her own room and meals, and the schedule is usually weekly with fixed days off. A live-out nanny lives separately and works a daytime schedule — this format is common in families with kindergarten and school-age children.

Candidate requirements

Requirements and preferences for candidates

A candidate's chances of successfully finding employment as a nanny with a family abroad increase significantly when they consider visa requirements in advance and are ready for prompt travel. Applicants who already hold a valid tourist visa, such as a US visa, or have visa-free entry to the employer's country are in the highest demand.
