Travel nanny work looks glamorous.
The reality takes planning.
Working with a family that travels means new places, new routines and a lot that can change at once. The course opens with a reality check on what is real about the job and what is not.
Without a plan for contracts, gear, transport, jet lag and routines on the road, you are solving problems on the fly while still caring for the children.
Jet-Set Nanny walks you through the job from first steps to the return home, so you can plan your time and set-up in each location and help families create unforgettable memories or navigate important business travel.
