Expert Travel Nannies for Stress-Free Holidays
At The Nanny Connection, we specialise in placing professional, high-calibre nannies with families travelling across the UK and abroad.
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.

Why Families Choose London-Based Travel Nannies
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

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.
