Care that travels with your family

Heading away and want a trusted hand on the road? Little Smiles Nannying matches your family with the right travel nanny for wherever your family is headed, across Australia or overseas. Emma guides you through every step and presents thoroughly screened candidates, by application.

What the service is

A trusted carer for time away

Travel nanny recruitment matches your family with a nanny who comes along for your time away from home, at home in Australia or overseas. They keep the little routines steady through new places and full days, so naps, meals, and play stay familiar while everything around you is fresh.

Emma takes the time to understand your trip and your family before carefully selecting and presenting the most suitable travel nannies. From there you meet your shortlist and choose the person who feels right, with the same thorough screening that sits behind every Little Smiles Nannying match.

Not sure what type of carer you need?

A travel nanny suits some families, while others are after a part-time or full-time nanny, casual babysitting, or something in between. If you are weighing up the options, the guide to the types of in-home carers walks through each one in plain language, so you can choose the care that genuinely fits your family.
