Date nights, again
Go out for dinner. Linger. Order another bottle. Your kids are safe asleep with someone you trust.
What you get back
A vacation,
for the grown-ups too.
Families tell us the same four stories. So we built Travel Nanny around them.
Nº 02

Sleep in, once
Your nanny arrives at 6:30 with breakfast and a plan. You wake up rested. This is the whole point.
Nº 03

Stress-free travel days
Flights, trains, transfers. An extra pair of hands means fewer meltdowns — theirs and yours.
Nº 04

Meet them first
Video-call your nanny before you go. Up to three meet-and-greets, free. No surprises at the door.
The film
A week
with Hiromi.
We followed the Parks around Tokyo for seven days. No scripts, one nanny, two kids, one tired couple getting their first real dinner in four years.

How it works
Six steps.
No surprises.
We built this after booking a sitter off the internet in Lisbon went sideways. So the whole process is designed around one question: would I trust her with my own kid?

Real people.
Interviewed in person.
Where we go
Three countries.
Chosen on purpose.
We only operate where we can vet nannies face-to-face, twice. More destinations are coming, slowly. That's the deal.

Eight gates
before anyone meets your kid.

Letters home
What families
actually write us.
"Hiromi showed up on day one knowing Ayla was allergic to sesame, hated loud sneezes, and would only fall asleep to that one Miyazaki lullaby. We had a three-hour dinner and came home to sleeping kids. We cried."
— Sarah & Daniel

"I was skeptical. We did two video calls with Mei before the trip and by the second one my son was asking when he could see her again. She took them to a puppet show in Taipei I would never have found."
— Priya R.

"Leilani is an aunty now. That's the right word for what she became to our kids. We already re-booked her for Christmas."
