Enjoy Stress-Free Family Travel With Expert Childcare Support

Planning a family holiday should be exciting – but with children in tow, it can quickly become a juggling act. From flight changes and jet lag to unfamiliar routines, travelling with little ones isn’t always relaxing. That’s where our experienced travel nannies come in.

Whether you need full maternity support or help with teenagers, we’ll match you with a nanny who provides care, consistency, and calm wherever you go.

What Is a Travel Nanny?

A travel nanny is a professional childcare provider who accompanies families on holidays or work-related trips, offering personalised support for babies, young children and teenagers while maintaining familiar routines throughout the journey. The Nanny Connection is a Wimbledon-based London nanny agency that matches families with experienced travel nannies for placements across the UK and overseas.

Whether it’s a weekend in Cornwall or a summer in the South of France, our nannies blend seamlessly into your plans. They’ll be on hand to help manage everything from naptime and mealtimes to long-haul flights and beach days.

Travel nanny rates are typically upwards of £350 per 24 hours, which is in line with current industry standards. Final rates can vary depending on the nanny’s experience, the length and location of the trip, and the level of support required.

We had a great experience working with Allie at The Nanny Connection during our search for a nanny ahead of my return to work. Allie took the time to really understand the type of nanny we were looking for and was incredibly responsive and flexible as our requirements evolved throughout the process. Despite a challenging market and various changes along the way, she worked diligently, followed up consistently, and moved quickly to identify suitable candidates. What stood out most was her ability to listen carefully to our needs and focus her search accordingly, only introducing candidates who genuinely matched our requirements. I would happily recommend Allie to any parent looking for a thoughtful, professional, and dedicated nanny agency.

Allie is absolutely incredible. She matched us with brilliant recommendations, including with someone genuinely life-changing, and was always responsive, flexible, down-to-earth and caring. She's incredibly well-connected, with a great list of nannies on her books, and hugely professional. Having spoken to the nannies Allie works with, I know they too find her thoughtful, caring and incredibly knowledgeable. She and her work changed our lives at a vulnerable time, and we will always be hugely grateful to her. We can't recommend her highly enough.

Owner's reply
Thank you so much Matt for your heartfelt review. To help families like you is why I do my job. I am so pleased we were able to find you a few candidates to support you when you most needed it. I know you have found a special person who will always be part of your lives now too. That means the world to me!

I would highly recommend Allie. She recently helped us find a night/maternity nurse and was extremely helpful. I really valued her professionalism, responsiveness and expertise. In particular she provides a more personal service compared with some of the bigger agencies and you really feel she goes out of her way to find someone who will work well for you. I recommended her to friends who had experienced some bad luck with childcare; they also found her very helpful and she has transformed their childcare set up.

I cannot rate the Nanny Connection more highly. A company that listens, can solve problems quickly and efficiently, is rigorous at background checks and has very high standards. All done with professionalism and enthusiasm. I was delighted with my Nanny, she was a perfect match for my son. There will be no other company I pick up the phone to for my future Nanny needs.

Had an amazing client experience with Allie! We were in a very time-limited situation and were looking for a nanny with a non-standard working hours and some other special requirements. Allie was able to provide exactly the profile we were looking for. There were no gaps in communication (only from my side, I admit :)), the level of tact and relevancy is really high. No time wasted + constant support and willingness to make the process as smooth and quick as possible. This is a very clear contrast with other agencies.

Allie did a fantastic search when we started looking for a nanny for our baby daughter. Allie took care to understand our criteria and preferences, and all the candidates she sourced were of very high quality.

Allie’s agency is the only agency I will ever use. Unlike other agents, she genuinely spends a lot of time understanding your brief and finding the right person who suits you. And unlike most agents, she doesn’t push or pressure you into a candidate who doesn’t match your family. I have been using Allie for years and she is truly warm, caring, and helpful beyond measure. She even gave me helpful tips when I was a new mum. Just an all round lovely person and I recommend her to everyone I know! I promise you that you won’t find anyone better or who will be in your corner more!!

Allie spent a lot of time understanding the brief, and what exactly we were looking for in a nanny. To that end, every candidate she put forward was compelling, unlike other agencies where they send you whoever they have on their books. It was clear that she had spent time and effort ensuring we were looking at credible options. She was also incredibly responsive, professional and patient through out. Thank you Allie!

Allie is a true professional, as well as very approachable and easy to work with. She made sure she understood really well what our family needs are and all the candidate CVs she sent through for our consideration have led to at least a video call, and a couple of face-to-face meetings - and we have high selection criteria. We ended-up hiring a temporary nanny via Allie, who has been really great. Allie is someone whom we trust for advice and opinion, and we are also currently using her help to find a permanent nanny. I would highly recommend using Allie’s help to all families looking for a nanny, as she makes the process much easier!

Why Families Choose London-Based Travel Nannies

Woman and her children sat with travel nanny

Many families find traditional childcare options during holidays too impersonal or inflexible. Our travel nannies are different – they provide:

  • Dedicated one-to-one childcare tailored to your family’s needs
  • Practical support during flights, transfers and other travel days
  • Help maintaining familiar sleep, meal and daily routines
  • Age-appropriate activities, outings and entertainment
  • Experienced care for babies, young children and teenagers
  • Support for holidays and work-related travel across the UK
  • International placements for short trips and extended stays
  • Carefully matched nannies based on your children, itinerary and requirements

For high-net-worth families or busy professionals, a travel nanny offers peace of mind and an extra pair of hands – so you can relax, recharge, and enjoy your holiday too.

  • Children with additional needs requiring experienced and personalised care

Many of our nannies also have additional skills, including language abilities, swimming supervision and experience supporting different family requirements.

What You’ll Need to Provide

When hiring a travel nanny, families are typically responsible for providing:

  • Travel arrangements, including flights, transfers and visas where required
  • Suitable accommodation, usually a private room or another agreed sleeping arrangement
  • Daily meals, snacks and drinks throughout the trip
  • Travel insurance that covers the nanny while travelling with your family
  • Any agreed activity costs, admissions or expenses incurred while caring for the children
