Travel Nannies in London
Stays is a London childcare agency providing travel and holiday nannies for visiting families, with one professional supporting your routines throughout your stay. Our nannies are DBS-checked, individually insured and screened through 6-step vetting; our team speaks 30+ languages and works with 100+ partner hotels.
A one-off babysitter solves one evening. A travel nanny solves the whole trip. The same person arrives each day already knowing your children's names, their nap times, the toy that stops the tears and the food they'll actually eat.
That continuity is what visiting families are really buying: no repeated handovers, no re-explaining allergies or routines, and children who relax into a holiday rather than meeting a stranger every night. We hold your nanny's diary for your dates so they stay yours for the duration.
To hire a nanny in London for your visit, share the full itinerary: arrival and departure dates, accommodation, children’s ages, care needs and the likely hours for each day. Include early starts, evenings, outings and preferred languages, not only a typical day. We can then check availability across the trip and discuss a workable schedule with reasonable rest between shifts. This enquiry is for care during your visit, not permanent nanny recruitment.
Before confirming, agree the days and hours, where care will take place and whether the nanny will accompany any travel. For onward destinations, include the route and timings so travel or accommodation arrangements can be discussed in advance. A familiar nanny throughout the stay is the aim, not a guarantee; continuity and schedule changes depend on availability. Discuss your itinerary with our team, or see occasional babysitting for visitors if you only need a few sessions.
Here for a week or a summer holiday? We aim to arrange one nanny for your whole stay, subject to availability, so your children have a familiar face for days out, evenings and everyday routines. Share any onward UK travel when you enquire so we can confirm a suitable professional and the arrangements before you book.
For a single night out rather than ongoing care, explore our evening hotel babysitters.
Tell us where you're staying, how long you're in London and the hours you'd like covered.
We send the profile of the nanny we've matched to your family — languages, experience and checks included.
Once confirmed, your nanny is reserved for your dates and arrives ready for the trip you've planned.
Our nannies speak more than 30 languages between them, including French, Spanish, Italian, German and Arabic. Whether you'd like your children cared for in their home language or gently encouraged in English, we match on language as carefully as we match on experience.
Feeding, settling, naps and the small rituals that hold a routine together — our newborn-experienced nannies have done it before, including with twins and multiples, and all hold Paediatric First Aid.
We regularly support families whose children have ADHD, autism or epilepsy. Tell us what a good day looks like for your child — triggers, routines, medication, sensory preferences — and we'll match a nanny with genuine, relevant experience rather than simply the next name on the list.
Wherever your trip takes you, your nanny comes to you — no crèches, no drop-offs, no detours around your plans.
We work with over 100 hotels across the city and our nannies are used to their front-desk and in-room protocols.
Serviced apartments, private residences and holiday rentals across every London neighbourhood.
Windsor, Oxford, Bath, Brighton or a day at the coast — your nanny can travel with you.

Yes — continuity is the point of a travel nanny. Wherever possible we match you with one nanny who is available for every day of your stay, so your children build a relationship with a familiar face rather than meeting someone new each evening. If your trip is long or your hours are unusually demanding, we may propose a small, consistent pair so there is always cover.
Often, yes. Many of our nannies are happy to join families on day trips — Windsor, Oxford, Bath, Brighton — and some can travel further afield for multi-day stays. Tell us your itinerary when you enquire and we'll confirm who is available, along with any travel and accommodation arrangements needed.
It's entirely built around your plans. Some families want mornings and afternoons free for meetings or sightseeing; others want full days, evenings, or a mix across the week. We agree a schedule before you arrive and can flex it as your trip unfolds, subject to your nanny's availability and reasonable rest between shifts.
Our nannies collectively speak over 30 languages, including French, Spanish, Italian, German and Arabic. If you'd like your children cared for in their home language — or would like a nanny who can help them practise English — just say so when you enquire and we'll match accordingly.
Yes. We have nannies with genuine newborn experience, including feeding, settling and routines, as well as nannies experienced with twins and multiples. We also work with families whose children have additional needs such as ADHD, autism or epilepsy, and we match based on that experience rather than availability alone.
Enquire early for summer dates so we can check a suitable nanny for your itinerary. Availability is confirmed individually; last-minute requests are welcome, but we cannot guarantee a match.
London is our home and where our availability is deepest, but we regularly support families travelling onward within the UK. Share your route and dates and we'll let you know what we can arrange.
Yes, you can request a holiday nanny for your entire London stay, subject to availability. We aim to match one professional to your dates and routines; if the schedule needs more cover, we will discuss a consistent arrangement with you.
Both describe a nanny providing continuity while your family is away from home; a holiday nanny focuses on your holiday stay, while a travel nanny may also accompany journeys and outings. Stays matches the professional to your itinerary rather than the label.
Yes, daytime outings and evening care can be included in your agreed schedule, subject to availability and appropriate rest. Tell us about activities, bedtime routines and any onward travel before confirming your booking.
