Travel Nannies: Nanny Placement | The Washburn Agency

Travel Nannies

Travel Nannies accompany families on vacations, business trips, or seasonal stays, providing reliable childcare away from home. They help maintain routines, manage travel logistics, and keep children safe, comfortable, and engaged while parents focus on work or enjoy their time.

Skilled at packing and unpacking for children, planning activities and snacks for plane rides, preparing for jet lag, and adapting to new locations or time zones, Travel Nannies may work long-term for frequent travelers or be hired short-term for a specific trip. They are experienced with private planes, yachts, and private resorts or islands, and excel at maintaining privacy and professionalism in exclusive environments.

Travel Nannies are ideal for families who:

Want support on vacations, holiday trips, or seasonal stays
Need extra hands during business travel
Value experienced caregivers who handle travel logistics with ease
Appreciate professionalism, discretion, and adaptability in private or high-profile settings
Want children’s routines maintained and travel stress minimized

A Travel Nanny provides families with peace of mind and reliable support on the road, allowing parents to enjoy their trip or focus on work while children are cared for safely and thoughtfully.

She was ready to listen to what I have to say and found families accordingly. Washburn Agency / Diana has been my best experience getting placed so far.

I have now worked with Diana from The Washburn Agency to find two nanny/housekeeper positions, and cannot say enough about what a wonderful experience it all was, especially after trying with several other local agencies. The Washburn Agency has the best positions available and Diana really took the time to listen and help me find the perfect family, which took a bit of time, as I wanted a great, longterm fit.
