Travel Nannies

Travel Nannies for Mobile, High Demand Households

Some families live in one place. Others live between cities, stages, production schedules, and seasonal homes.

If your life moves at a public pace, your childcare must operate with private precision. Pink Nannies is a nationwide nanny agency specializing in travel nanny placements for touring families, fast paced environments, executive households, and internationally mobile lifestyles.

Because children deserve steadiness even when everything else is in motion.

What Is a Travel Nanny?

A travel nanny is a professional caregiver experienced in supporting families whose lives require movement. Unlike a traditional nanny role rooted in a single residence, a travel nanny is adaptable, organized, discreet, and comfortable operating in dynamic environments.

Placements may include:
• Short-term touring contracts
• Film and television production schedules
• Seasonal international relocations
• Executive travel support
• Long-term positions with ongoing domestic or international travel

Some families need coverage during an intensive season. Others require a long-term professional who integrates fully into the household while remaining ready for consistent travel throughout the year.We structure the role around how your family actually lives.

How to Hire a Travel Nanny

As a travel nanny agency, we take a structured approach to every placement.

Step One:

Define the role

Before we search, we define schedule expectations, travel intensity, privacy considerations, and compensation. We get specific about what this role requires and what you need it to be.

Step Two:

Search with intention

We recruit from a vetted network of professional travel nannies experienced in private households. Each candidate is screened for alignment with your family’s pace and expectations.

Step Three:

Select with confidence

We present a curated group of highly qualified travel nanny candidates. You review in-depth profiles, conduct interviews, and arrange trial periods when appropriate.

Step Four:

Support through placement

We guide compensation structure, benefits, employment agreements, and best practices for travel logistics, including legal payroll and compliance.

Built for Complex Travel Environments

The professionals we represent are accustomed to fast moving environments and understand the discretion, timing, and logistics required.

They are as comfortable backstage as they are within the rhythms of family life

Investment & Placement Structure

Hiring a travel nanny is an investment in your child's development, your peace of mind, and the actual stability of your household.

Pink Nannies does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, ancestry, age, religion or religious creed, disability or handicap, sex or gender, gender identity and/or expression, sexual orientation, military or veteran status, genetic information, or any other characteristic protected under applicable federal, state or local law. We encourage our families to follow EEO practices when interviewing and selecting candidates for their positions.

  • Launch Fee: $500 initiates the search and activates targeted recruitment within our network.
  • Placement Fee: A one-time placement fee of 25% of the nanny's gross annualized compensation upon successful placement.
  • Compensation: Travel nanny candidates typically begin around $40 per hour, with rates scaling based on experience, travel intensity, and role scope.
  • Benefits: Professional placements include legal payroll structure and comprehensive benefits, paid time off, sick time, and a healthcare stipend.

Where we place travel nannies

Pink Nannies places travel nannies for families across the United States and internationally for qualifying placements.

Our travel nanny placements regularly support families in high-demand markets like Washington DC, Miami, Nashville, Boston, Cleveland, Los Angeles, New York City, and the Bay Area.

Because travel nanny roles are designed around your mobility, we structure support wherever your life requires it. Whether that includes national touring, filming on location, seasonal relocation, or international travel.

If your family moves, we build childcare structures that move with you.

Families say it better than we can.

We weren’t looking for someone to “help out.” We needed someone who could operate at a high level without constant input. Pink Nannies understood that immediately and introduced us to someone who fit in a way that actually worked.

Executive Family, NYC

We have a demanding schedule and a home that doesn’t really slow down. Most candidates we met before this felt like they needed direction. This was different. She came in, understood the pace, and just handled it. That’s rare.

The Klein Family, San Francisco, CA

We don’t run on a typical 9 to 5 schedule, and that’s always been hard to find the right fit for. This time it worked. She understood the rhythm of our home right away and didn’t need constant direction. That made all the difference.

Michel Reed, Miami

We’ve had help before, but this felt completely different. There was a level of professionalism and ease that made our home feel more settled almost overnight. Pink Nannies really understood what we were looking for.

The Benitez Family, Miami

I needed someone who could keep up with our schedule and also bring calm into our home. That’s exactly what we got. It finally feels like things are running the way they should.

Danielle, Miami

We live a very full life between work, travel, and everything else Miami brings with it. Pink Nannies sent us someone who stepped in and just kept everything moving. The difference in our day to day was immediate.

The Alvarez Family, Miami

A truly exceptional nanny placement experience for families who expect more than a transaction. The process was thoughtful, discreet, and deeply personalized, with careful attention to values, household dynamics, and long term compatibility. Communication was always clear, professional, and reassuring at every step, resulting in a placement that felt seamless, aligned, and built to last. This is the level of care discerning families trust when quality and peace of mind matter most.

Isabelle , DC Family

Pink Nannies is amazing! As a nanny I am so thankful to have worked with such a professional, caring group of experts! The team is great at advocating on your behalf, guiding you through the process and teaching you great resume skills! Their support and guidance has been influential in my professional growth. I felt heard and comfortable during the process. They are very responsive and truly care about both parties. I couldn’t be happier working for the family I found through this agency. I look forward to working with Pink Nannies again in the future and can’t recommend this agency enough.

Hannah F., DC Nanny

Pink Nannies actually listened to us. We weren’t just looking for experience, we were looking for a certain temperament around our baby, and they picked up on details we didn’t even know how to explain. The person they introduced felt right almost immediately, and for the first time we stopped second guessing the decision.

Cronin Family, Virginia

Our schedules change constantly and we were used to managing the nanny as much as the children. That stopped after this placement. She operates independently and anticipates what we need before we say it.

Executive Family, DC

Pink Nannies matched our family with our beloved nanny, who is about to celebrate her third anniversary with us. We couldn’t be more grateful to them for making the perfect match! Our nanny is the kindest, most reliable, most competent person we could have ever dreamed of. Thank you Pink Nannies!

We didn’t realize how much mental energy we were spending managing childcare until we didn’t have to anymore. Pink Nannies introduced someone who handled the day calmly and competently, and our home felt lighter almost overnight.

Private Family, Bay Area

We’ve hired before and it always felt like we were managing the person instead of being supported by them. Pink Nannies was completely different. They actually understood what we needed and sent someone who just got it. It made everything easier.

Family Office, Miami

We were stretched thin and honestly not showing up as the kind of parents we wanted to be. Pink Nannies changed that. They sent us someone who stepped in, took real ownership, and made our home feel steady again. I wish we had done it months earlier.

Greenberg Family, Washington DC

I didn’t expect to feel this much relief. It wasn’t just having help, it was finally feeling like someone understood how our home actually runs.

As two working parents with full schedules, we needed guidance we could rely on. Pink Nannies was discreet, clear, and steady throughout the process, and it felt more like a partnership than a transaction.
