Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifications should a private nanny in Florida have?
+
The best nannies in Florida have formal childcare training or education, CPR and first aid certification, several years of professional nanny experience, strong references from previous families, fluency in English and often Spanish, and understanding of child development. Many premium nannies also have water safety certification, Montessori training, or expertise in specific areas like music or academics.
How does Lumière vet nannies for Florida families?

Our comprehensive vetting process includes thorough background checks, extensive reference verification, credential review, in-depth personal interviews, detailed childcare experience assessment, and careful personality matching with your family's values. We understand the high standards of South Florida families and take extra time ensuring compatibility, professionalism, and trustworthiness.
What is the difference between a live-in and live-out nanny in Florida?
+
A live-in nanny resides in your home and provides dedicated childcare with greater availability for emergencies and flexible scheduling. A live-out nanny commutes to your home for agreed working hours and returns home afterward. Many Florida families prefer live-in arrangements for the consistency and flexibility they provide, especially for seasonal residents.
How are nannies matched with Florida families at Lumière?
+
We conduct comprehensive consultations to understand your family's lifestyle, values, and specific childcare needs. We then carefully match candidates based on compatibility, experience with similar family structures, cultural fit, language capabilities, and their professional goals. This personalized approach ensures long-term satisfaction for both families and nannies.
Do nannies in Florida need to speak Spanish?
+
While English is essential, many South Florida families value bilingual (English-Spanish) nannies. We have numerous nannies fluent in Spanish, which is beneficial for South Florida's diverse community and helps children develop bilingual capabilities. Spanish-speaking nannies are experienced with local culture and community.
How much should I expect to pay for a private nanny in Florida?
+
Nanny salaries in Florida vary based on experience, qualifications, languages spoken, and specific responsibilities. Typically, live-out nannies in Miami and Palm Beach range from $22-35+ per hour, while live-in nannies range from $1,500-3,000+ monthly depending on experience and requirements. Lumière placements reflect the premium, fully vetted professionals we represent.
What makes nannies in Florida different from other regions?
+
Florida nannies need strong water safety training and comfort with outdoor activities due to the climate and lifestyle. They're experienced with heat management, sun protection, and often have experience with seasonal residents and vacation homes. Many have experience managing multiple residences or preparing for seasonal transitions between Miami, Palm Beach, and northern properties.
What neighborhoods in Florida does Lumière serve?

The Lumière difference

Founded by a working career nanny, not a recruiter

"I founded Lumière because the families I worked for kept asking the same question: where do we find another nanny like you? I still take private placements. Every nanny I place is one I would work alongside."

Hanna founded Lumière Placements after years inside private households as a career nanny. She continues to take selected private placements alongside leading the agency, a working-nanny perspective that shapes every shortlist Lumière puts forward. Lumière is the only French Riviera-based boutique placement agency, placing across Monaco, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Cannes, Saint-Tropez and Nice, and worldwide, founded and led by an active working career nanny.
