Hiring a Career Nanny in Palm Beach, What Makes Lumière Different

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

Private Nanny and Governess Services in Palm Beach

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

Palm Beach Career Nanny & Governess Placement

Palm Beach families deserve professionals who understand island living, the winter season, and the discretion expected in high-profile households. Our nannies and governesses are comfortable across Palm Beach island estates, Jupiter Island retreats and the equestrian world of Wellington, and are experienced with active outdoor routines and academic support.

We place across Palm Beach island, Manalapan, Jupiter Island, Wellington, North Palm Beach and Palm Beach Gardens. Each placement is matched carefully to your family's needs, values and schedule, whether you need a governess for school-age children, a live-in career nanny, or travel-ready cover for multiple residences.

Palm Beach Areas

Where We Place Across Palm Beach

Lumière places nannies and governesses throughout Palm Beach's island estates and surrounding communities, from the oceanfront to the equestrian enclaves inland.

The Island & the Coast

  • Palm Beach island (estates & oceanfront)
  • Manalapan & Point Manalapan
  • Jupiter Island & Hobe Sound
  • North Palm Beach & Lost Tree

Inland & Equestrian

  • Wellington (equestrian families)
  • Palm Beach Gardens & BallenIsles
  • West Palm Beach
  • Jupiter & Admirals Cove

Wellington's winter equestrian season and the island's snowbird calendar mean many Palm Beach families move seasonally. Lumière also places across the wider state, including Miami and the rest of Florida, so a single professional can move smoothly between residences.

Trilingual across English, French and Russian, they suit international families who value both languages and privacy.

Every Lumière professional completes our Training and Standards Programme and is backed by a free re-match within the first three months, so your family has continuity if circumstances change.

Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifications should a career nanny in Palm Beach have?
+
A career nanny in Palm Beach 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, and many are governesses with an educational background or newborn care specialists. Every candidate signs an NDA and completes our Training and Standards Programme.
How does Lumière vet nannies for Palm Beach families?

What is the difference between a nanny and a governess in Palm Beach?

How are nannies matched with Palm Beach families at Lumière?

This personalised, founder-led approach is designed for long-term placements rather than quick fills.

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.
