Frequently Asked Questions

What is a travel nanny and when would we need one?

What is a yacht nanny?

What qualifications should a travel or yacht nanny have?

How does Lumière match families with travel nannies?
+
We assess your travel patterns, destinations, duration of placements, and specific needs (yacht, ski, summer, etc.). We match candidates based on experience with similar family situations, flexibility level, cultural adaptability, and compatibility with your family dynamics. For yacht placements, we verify maritime safety training and experience. Our process ensures nannies can manage the unique demands of mobile childcare.
Can a travel nanny help with multiple seasonal placements?
+
Yes, many families engage travel nannies for recurring seasonal placements: ski season (winter), summer holidays, spring breaks, or school holidays. Some nannies specialize in seasonal placements, coordinating multiple family properties. We can match you with a travel nanny available for your specific seasonal patterns, creating predictable arrangements that benefit both family and caregiver.
