Nanny Kayla

"Kayla worked for me intermittently, most summers when my 3 boys were young. She was wonderful keeping them safe and doing activities with them. She also kept the house picked up and cooked occasional evening meals for us to have as a family when asked to do so. She was dependable and trustworthy. If she is your nanny then your kids will be in good hands."

- Jayme

Nanny Chantelle

"Chantelle is great with children I’ve watched her care for kids newborns to 4-years-olds. You can tell she has a love for children. It also gave me peace of mind that she was knowledgeable in age appropriate activities for each of our children."

What Is a Traveling Nanny?

A traveling nanny, also called a travel nanny, goes on trips with your family to care for the children, whether it is a vacation, a business trip, or an extended stay. Some families need a nanny who travels regularly, and others only for the occasional trip.

Common Responsibilities of Traveling Nannies in Iowa

On the road, a traveling nanny keeps the children's routines going, supervises play and meals, and helps with logistics such as airports, car rides, and hotel rooms. They may care for the children while parents work or attend events, and often work longer or less predictable days than at home.

What to Consider Before You Hire

Discuss how often you travel and for how long, who pays for the nanny's flights, accommodation, and meals, how hours and days off work on a trip, and whether the nanny needs a passport. Put the terms in a written agreement so there are no surprises. Nannies with a valid passport and a flexible schedule are the best fit for frequent travel.

Traveling Nanny Interview Questions

Once you find a promising candidate, invite them for an interview to see if they would be a great fit for your family. Here are some questions you can ask:

Are you comfortable traveling, including internationally, and do you have a valid passport?
How much notice do you need for a trip?
Have you cared for children while traveling before?
How would you keep routines going in a hotel or an unfamiliar place?
How do you handle hours, days off, and expenses on the road?

At this stage, request their references and ask their references some questions. After preparing the job offer or contract, we recommend that you run a background check before the start date.
