Hiring a Career Nanny in Miami, What Makes Lumière Different

A Miami career nanny from Lumière is professionally trained, trilingual across English, French and Russian, and travel-ready with a valid U.S. passport. Every nanny we place has been vetted in person to European standards, with verified references, background checks and a signed NDA before any introduction. Miami is a core U.S. market for Lumière, and we place across Florida for families who move between residences.

Private Nanny Services in Miami

Finding the right nanny in Miami takes more than a résumé, it demands in-person vetting, genuine discretion, and a real understanding of how private, international households live. Lumière is a boutique agency placing career nannies and newborn specialists with Miami's families, so your children are cared for by someone you can trust from the first day.

Miami Career Nanny Placement

Miami families deserve nannies who understand waterfront living, frequent travel and the discretion expected in high-profile households. Our nannies are comfortable across Miami Beach penthouses, Coral Gables family homes and the private islands of Biscayne Bay, and are experienced with year-round outdoor and water-based routines.

We place across Star Island, Fisher Island, Indian Creek, Key Biscayne, Bal Harbour and beyond. Each placement is matched carefully to your family's needs, values and schedule, whether you need newborn care, a live-in career nanny, or a travel-ready nanny for multiple residences.

Indicative U.S. Market Ranges

As a guide for budgeting, live-out career nannies in Miami commonly earn around 25 to 45 dollars per hour on indicative U.S. market ranges, while experienced live-in professionals are usually packaged as annual salaries that vary with experience, languages, travel and responsibilities.

For context, Lumière's current live-in roles in Florida reach up to 160,000 dollars or more per year for the most experienced professionals. These are market figures, not Lumière fees, agency terms are shared directly with each family. See our U.S. nanny cost guide for more detail.

Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifications should a career nanny in Miami have?
+
A career nanny in Miami should have formal childcare training or education, current paediatric CPR and first aid certification, several years of professional nanny experience, strong references from private households, and a valid U.S. passport for frequent travel. Lumière nannies are trilingual across English, French and Russian, water-safety aware for waterfront homes, and many are newborn care specialists or hold Montessori training. Every candidate signs an NDA and completes our Training and Standards Programme.
How does Lumière vet nannies for Miami families?
+
Every candidate goes through European-standard in-person vetting: a detailed face-to-face interview, verified references from prior private-household employers, credential and identity checks, and U.S. background screening. Candidates sign a non-disclosure agreement before any introduction, and Lumière confirms a valid U.S. passport and right to work. We take extra time to ensure discretion, professionalism and genuine compatibility with each Miami family.
What is the difference between a live-in and live-out nanny in Miami?
+
A live-in nanny resides in your Miami home and offers dedicated care with greater flexibility for early starts, evenings and travel between residences. A live-out nanny commutes for agreed hours and returns to their own home afterward. Many Miami families with waterfront estates and seasonal schedules prefer live-in arrangements for the consistency and travel readiness they provide.
How are nannies matched with Miami families at Lumière?
+
We begin with a consultation to understand your household, your children, your travel patterns and your values. We then shortlist candidates based on compatibility, relevant experience, languages and their own professional goals, typically presenting a shortlist within about two weeks. This personalised, founder-led approach is designed for long-term placements rather than quick fills.
Do nannies in Miami need to speak more than one language?
+
English is essential, and many Miami families value additional languages. Lumière places trilingual nannies across English, French and Russian, and can prioritise a particular language for your household. Multilingual care supports children's development and helps international families maintain their cultural and linguistic connections.
How much does a career nanny in Miami cost?

As an indicative U.S. market range, live-out career nannies in Miami commonly earn around 25 to 45 dollars per hour, while experienced live-in nannies are frequently packaged as annual salaries that vary widely with experience, languages, travel and responsibilities.

Many of our Miami placements move seasonally between South Florida and northern or European homes, and all candidates sign an NDA that covers travel and private-household discretion.

The Lumière difference

Founded by a professional 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. Lumière is a French Riviera-based boutique placement agency, placing across Monaco, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Cannes, Saint-Tropez and Nice, and worldwide, founded and led by a professional nanny.
