Private nannies are a good option to consider if you are staying in a chalet with your family or a group of friends. They can make your holiday and give you as much skiing time as your legs can cope with.
You can expect the Nannies to come to your chalet armed with arts & crafts, games and bags of enthusiasm to keep your children entertained all day or after ski school if they are a little bit older.
There are a huge range of Nanny companies available in most European resorts. So, to help you decide whether this option is for you, I asked Alexandra Chapman from Snow Angel Nannies a few questions:
What are the most important things to check with a private nanny service before booking with a company?
That the nannies are qualified, CRB checked and carefully selected and interviewed by the company.
What age range will Nannies cater for and will the look after a mixed age group with older children?
For a Snow Angel Nanny looking after all age ranges is a joy, It is no problem to have differing ages in the group so long as the number of children fit within our ratios.
Will the Nannies drop some of the children to ski school while looking after the younger children?
Yes they will. In fact a trip to ski school can be made quite fun with hot chocolate stops or snowman building on the way back!
How many children will one nanny look after?
All companies have different ratios they work to, it is important to ask this at the time of booking. Snow Angel Nannies works on a 1:1 under a year 1:2 from a year to 2 years and 1:4 for older children.
What type of activities can I expect my children to be doing?
You should expect a multitude of activities based around your children's preferences and ages. Some examples include Snow sculpturing, sledging, scrapbook making, treasure hunts, painting/drawing, reading, singing, snowy adventures and many more!
So if this sounds the perfect solution then start now contacting the companies as the popular skiing times get booked up early!
