Making a ski holiday with young children a possibility and oh so easy!
Tailormade Explorers Private Nanny experience – Elevating your ski holiday with a difference.
Our bespoke private nanny service is designed to provide families with the freedom to fully immerse in the mountain experience - whether it's exploring the slopes, enjoying après-ski, or savouring an early dinner - while your little ones are in the capable hands of our highly trained and experienced Explorers Private Nannies.
Our dedicated private nannies are hand-picked, experienced childcare professionals who will make all the difference to the success of your family skiing experience, ensuring parents have the necessary support to enjoy their skiing without the usual compromises. Our exclusive service puts you in control to design your childcare according to the needs of your family, creating time for your skiing, and making the most of special family time together.
Discover no-compromise family skiing as you have never experienced it before!
Your private nanny will be based within the property you are staying, using your hotel room or chalet for sleep time and running activities, whilst also making the most of the property’s facilities, such as a swimming pool or kids play areas. They will seamlessly follow each child’s routine, including naps and feeds, with a curated selection of toys and a week-long itinerary of age-appropriate activities, carefully crafted to match their interests. Our programme also ensures your child makes the most of everything the resort has to offer, from building snowmen, discovering the resort's top hot chocolate spots and sledging in the winter wonderland to swimming and bowling.
For the ultimate in stress-free skiing, our Explorers Private Nannies can help get your children ready for Ski School and take them along to the morning drop-off, so you can hit the first lift, linger longer over breakfast or enjoy a morning in the spa. They will then meet them after ski lessons and accompany them back to your hotel/chalet and oversee lunch arrangements, meaning that you don't need to disrupt or curtail your ski day, before the nanny takes them off for an afternoon of fun.
Our nannies are available in the following ski resorts in the Alps: Val d’Isere, Tignes, Courchevel, Méribel and Val Thorens.
