How Far in Advance Should I Book a Holiday Nanny?

To ensure you get the best holiday nanny for your family, we highly recommend booking as early as possible, ideally at least 6–10 weeks in advance. This allows us to match you with the most suitable nanny for your destination, schedule, and childcare preferences.

Peak Season vs. Off-Peak Booking

  • Peak Holiday Periods (Summer, School Holidays, Christmas & New Year):
    Demand is especially high during peak travel seasons, so booking 6–12 weeks in advance is ideal to secure your preferred nanny. Leaving it too late may limit your options.
  • Off-Peak Travel (Term Time, Midweek Breaks, Shoulder Seasons):
    If you’re traveling outside peak periods, we can often accommodate bookings 4–8 weeks in advance.

Last-Minute Bookings

Need a nanny on short notice? We understand that travel plans can change, so we do our best to accommodate last-minute requests. If you require a nanny within a few days of travel, please reach out, and we’ll check availability in your destination. While we can’t guarantee availability, we’ll always strive to find a suitable match.
