Travel Nanny

Your family’s travel schedule is fast-paced and extensive, often involving extended stays or frequent changes of plans. Maintaining structure, routines, and reliable care on the go can quickly become overwhelming without your trusted nanny by your family’s side.

A Sommet nanny offers you the peace of mind that comes with a dedicated caregiver who knows your family routines, understands your children’s needs, and is prepared to travel alongside your family whenever needed.

Travel nannies are professional, full-time caregivers who are fully integrated into your family’s day-to-day life and available to travel whenever your schedule requires it. They don’t just step in for the occasional trip; they provide consistent care at home and bring stability and support during travel.

Sommet travel nannies are full-time, long-term professionals who accompany families as part of an ongoing role, not for short-term or ad-hoc travel needs.

A note from our founder

At Sommet Nannies, we believe every child deserves to be seen, understood, and cared for in a way that celebrates who they are with kindness and respect. And every parent deserves support that feels safe, steady, and truly aligned with their family’s values.

My own journey as a parent has shown me just how transformative the right support can be. Raising children is a profound, joyful, and sometimes challenging experience—and having the right caregiver by your side can make all the difference. I know firsthand the peace of mind that comes when you find someone who not only has the skills but also the heart to nurture your children as their own.

That’s why Sommet Nannies was created: to thoughtfully connect families with exceptional caregivers who bring calm, warmth, and professionalism into the home. Every placement is handled with care, considering not just logistics, but personalities, rhythms, and what truly matters to you as a parent.

You pour so much love and energy into your children. Let us walk alongside you and help you find a nanny who feels like a trusted extension of your family—someone who makes life a little easier, days a little lighter, and your home even more full of joy.

Hire a Travel Nanny

Travel can be unpredictable, especially with little ones in tow. A travel nanny brings structure, comfort, and continuity to your child’s routine, whether you’re at home or exploring the world together as a family.

From navigating airport security and managing jet lag, to maintaining daily schedules, our nannies handle every detail with the same calm, capable professionalism they bring to day-to-day life at home.

A travel nanny is an ideal fit for families who travel often and for extended periods, and want the same trusted caregiver with them on each trip: a dedicated professional who knows your child’s rhythms and routines, providing seamless, reliable care wherever you go.

Sommet Nannies specializes in full-time, long-term nanny placements, providing consistent care both at home and wherever your travels may take you.

    We approach every placement with care, empathy, and a deep understanding of what truly matters to your family: this isn't just logistics, but a lasting relationship built on trust.

    Our exceptional post-placement follow-up and ongoing support ensure that guidance and reassurance continue well beyond the initial hire.
