About Us

OUR MISSION

We understand the importance of having an educated nanny on staff—someone who is able to take care of a child’s physical needs as well as assist the parents with age-appropriate learning, boundaries, and positive reinforcement. Through caregiver seminars and continuing education programs, our candidates are among the top in their field.

Holly established Nanny Traveler in January 2008 after almost 10 years of working in the NYC nanny industry. "For years, parents have asked me if I was available for travel or if I could recommend another educated nanny", said Holly. "I saw a niche that wasn't being filled and so I jumped head first.

Holly has been employed as a nanny, travel nanny, personal assistant, estate manager, tutor, and teacher. She holds a bachelor’s degree in both Speech Communication and Forensic Psychology. Holly is currently writing her first book—Nanny Traveler’s Guide to Finding the Perfect Nanny—which is due for publication in late 2009. She resides with her husband on the UES.

Our consultants have a history of rejecting applicants who do not meet the minimum criteria or who only want short-term employment. We are serious about finding our clients committed caregivers who seek childcare as a profession and not just a paycheck.
