Where would you go without a nanny? How would you leave your little ones behind to have fun if you didn’t rest in peace that they are having a good time too? How would you enjoy a well deserved après-ski drink after an exhilarating day on the slopes? How would you feel when all you see in your return to the chalet is contented, smiley children?
Going on a ski holiday with young children can be a huge logistics exercise.
Most skiers are eager to get up and go early to catch the first lift or to meet for their ski lessons. Your nanny will come to your chalet or hotel full of ideas to entertain your precious ones. She will take them away from you so you can get organised to hit the slopes or take them to their ski school while you are busy getting to yours.
Some families ask the nanny to meet them for lunch on the slopes or take the children on a gondola ride, practise putting their skis on and sliding on a gentle slope, having a hot chocolate in a nice café or taking them to swim or ice skating.
Many resorts provide private childcare which can be organised in advance even prior to booking your accommodation for a hassle free holiday. Your nanny is absolutely invaluable for an enjoyable stay.
A good private nanny agency can be an excellent choice.
The nannies stay in resort for the whole season or even year because they love the mountain life, the skiing or boarding and they do this job with pleasure unlike other nannies who are employed by some childcare companies to work in a creche.
Private nannies can be more mature and usually have an intimate knowledge of the resort they choose to go to. They can accommodate more of the family needs eg some shopping for the children prior to your arrival.
There are excellent childcare providers in popular ski resorts. Some will only hand pick their nannies for their professional and friendly nature and enthusiasm for their job. These agencies place great emphasis on the high levels of the service the clients can expect.
Most chalets offer one day off for their staff to rest. The nanny will still come to you to take care of your children while you ski or board or even to babysit in the evening while you can enjoy a nice, quiet dinner.
Your holiday can last as long as you like, from a week or two or even a quick weekend. Your nanny can accommodate all your needs for the duration of the entire stay.
The warm and caring service will make you and your children feel that you want to take your nanny home with you. This is why most families return year after year to the same nanny agency and ask for the same nanny. It all becomes a family matter in the end…
