We get to know each nanny personally and for private placements we will try and match the most suitable nanny to each family based on their experience and personality. Shortly before you travel, you will get a short profile of your nanny so that you know a little bit about their background and so that the children know who they will be playing with in resort.
Welcome Meeting
We know how daunting it can be planning a ski holiday with childcare… an even more daunting experience for the children meeting someone new! Which is why your nanny will come to your chalet to meet you when you arrive and get to know the children. In Les Arcs we will arrange for you to pop down to the Bear Cubs playroom when you arrive. This is a good opportunity to chat through the week ahead and discuss your children’s routine.
If you have a private nanny, they will also come to ski school on the first morning, irrespective of whether this falls inside the working hours you have requested, to meet your child’s instructor and confirm class details.
In Bear Cubs either the instructors will come to our playroom or we will look after the drop off and collection of your children at ski school.
What The Children Can Expect
Our private nannies will care for your children in the comfort and familiar surroundings of your own chalet. In Les Arcs, our childcare is based in a wonderful bright and airy room right next to the piste.
Lunch time will involve something fresh and nutritious, but most importantly something your child likes – your nanny will discuss this with you when you arrive. For younger infants on bottles or purees, your nanny will happily prepare any special feeds needed too.
Any good workman has a big box of tools, and our private nannies are no exception. Your nanny will bring a box of goodies to the chalet; games, books, toys and art materials, and the youngsters can look forward to creative activities, baking, and messy play too. In Les Arcs our Bear Cub room is loaded with entertainment and fun for every age, character and mood.
Weather permitting, and with your consent, they will go out for walks, trips on the bubble, build snowmen and have fun in the snow. Your nanny will know all the best sledging areas, tastiest hot chocolate and hidden secrets of the resort.
