Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about posting jobs, subscriptions, and hiring on your own terms.

Post a job with your destination and dates (free). Nannies listed in that area can respond. Subscribe to read full messages and reply—you check references and hire directly with the nanny.
How far in advance should I post? +
We recommend at least 2–3 weeks before travel, especially in peak season. Some nannies respond to shorter-notice jobs too.
Can I meet the nanny before my trip? +
Yes—that is your responsibility. We encourage video calls, reference checks, and clear written agreements before you travel.
What if plans change? +
Your arrangement is with the nanny directly. Discuss cancellation terms with them when you hire.
What ages of children can nannies care for? +
Each nanny's profile lists experience and preferred age groups. Confirm fit during your own screening.
Do nannies speak English? +
Language skills are listed on profiles. Ask about proficiency when you contact a nanny.
