Begin Your SearchYacht Nannies, Mediterranean & Caribbean Charter
A yacht nanny is a career childcare professional placed aboard a private or charter yacht, typically during the Mediterranean season (May–October) or year-round on family yachts. Lumière places yacht nannies with strong sea legs, STCW Basic Safety Training (or supports candidates through certification), swim certification, and experience operating inside a crewed-yacht structure.
Common itineraries include Monaco, Saint-Tropez, Cannes, Antibes, Porto Cervo, Mallorca and Ibiza through summer; St Barths, the British Virgin Islands and the Bahamas through the Caribbean winter season. For super-yacht placements where children require continuous cover, a rota (two-on, two-off) of two yacht nannies is standard.
Yacht-only briefs, vessel size, charter itinerary, STCW certification, ENG1 medical, crew structure, are covered in detail on the dedicated yacht nanny placements page.

From Our Journal
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.
