Holiday Nannies in Greece: A Parent’s Guide.

A holiday nanny can help your family enjoy time in Greece while keeping familiar routines for your children. The most useful starting point is a clear picture of your trip: where you will stay, when you need support and what you would like the nanny to do.

Holiday nanny or travel nanny.

A holiday nanny generally provides childcare at your destination. A travel nanny accompanies the family on the journey as well as supporting you during the stay. If you only need a few selected hours, occasional babysitting may be a better fit.

Nannies of Greece offers temporary and holiday placement enquiries for periods of up to three months. Tell us whether you need support at one property or throughout an itinerary so we can discuss the appropriate arrangement.

Share your destination and accommodation.

We welcome enquiries for Athens, mainland Greece and the islands. For Mykonos, Paros, Santorini, Corfu, Crete or another destination, availability must be checked for the location and dates you provide. A destination appearing on our website is an invitation to enquire, rather than a confirmed booking.

Include the name and location of your hotel, villa or private accommodation. Check any visitor-access rules with the property. If the nanny would need to travel to the destination or stay overnight, discuss transport, accommodation and related costs as part of the brief.

For a trip that begins in the capital, our Athens childcare page explains options for city stays and occasional care.

Plan around your children’s routines.

It helps to distinguish the hours you know you need from those that remain flexible. Include evenings, planned outings and days when the family is moving between properties. Share each child’s age and the experience you would like the nanny to bring.

• The dates and start and finish times for childcare.
• Usual mealtimes, naps, bedtime and favourite activities.
• The languages your children use and any language preference for the nanny.
• Whether care will take place at the property or include outings.
• Any additional needs that are relevant to matching and the handover.

You can request English-speaking childcare. The team will consider the preference and confirm whether a suitable candidate is available. Experience with babies or multiple children should be discussed specifically.

Confirm the details before you travel.

Enquire as soon as your dates and destination are clear. Availability changes with the location, season and requirements, so no fixed lead time can guarantee a match.

Before confirming, agree the childcare hours, responsibilities, fees and any travel or accommodation arrangements. Ask how changes to your plans would be handled under the applicable booking terms. An enquiry is the start of the conversation; wait for the team to confirm the arrangement.

Plan a handover before the first period of care. Show the nanny the property, explain the routine and agree how you will remain in contact. Familiar games or books can give your child an easy starting point with someone new.
