Yacht nannies for the Mediterranean’s finest charters
Experienced, English-speaking nannies for families on yachts and superyachts in Monaco, Italy, Spain and Croatia. Your nanny joins you on board and stays with your family for the whole charter.
The idea
One nanny. One family. One perfect week.
A charter is the most beautiful way to see the Adriatic, and the hardest place to keep small children happy, safe and asleep on time.
We place one carefully chosen nanny with your family for the length of the trip. The children get someone whose whole job is them. You get long lunches, swims without counting heads, and dinner ashore.
Swim stops, sea urchins and sunset bedtimes.
Where we sail.
From the Riviera to the Adriatic, wherever the summer takes your family. Your nanny meets you on board, before the lines come off.

A day at anchor
The rhythm of the week.
Breakfast on the aft deck, sun cream, then a swim lesson off the platform once the anchor is down.
Lunch, and a nap in a cool cabin while you take the tender to a konoba for grilled fish.
A beach landing in a bay with no road to it. Crabs, pebbles and snorkels.
Bath, stories, bed. You go ashore for dinner in Hvar Town, and the monitor stays on board with someone you trust.
Our nannies
Who we let on board.
Professional nannies
Every nanny has cared for children professionally, usually for years, for families who will speak for them.
Interviewed and vetted
We interview every nanny ourselves by video and check references before we introduce anyone. Nobody is booked off a profile.
At home on the water
Life jackets, swim platforms, tenders and staying out of the crew's way. A moving deck changes the rules, and our nannies know them.
First aid for children
Trained in first aid for babies and children, and calm when it counts.
Discreet, always
Your family, your guests and your itinerary stay private.
From our founder
"I've spent years matching families with the people who care for their children. Now I live in Split, and every summer I watch charter families sail out of the harbour."
Mediterranean Yacht Nannies is the service I'd want for my own family. One excellent nanny, properly vetted, who joins you for the week. I speak with every family myself before we match.

Yacht nanny questions.
Can I hire a nanny for a yacht charter in Croatia?
Yes. We place experienced, English-speaking nannies with families on yacht charters along the Croatian coast, most often from Split and Dubrovnik. The nanny joins you for the whole charter.
Does the nanny sleep on the yacht?
If there is a free cabin, yes. If not, the nanny stays ashore and meets the yacht each morning wherever it is moored.
Where do you work?
Monaco and the French Riviera, Sardinia, Capri and the Amalfi Coast, Mallorca and Ibiza, and the whole Croatian coast. Greece and Montenegro on request.
Can you work with our charter broker?
Yes. We coordinate dates, cabin plans and embarkation directly with your broker and captain.
How far ahead should we book a yacht nanny?
July and August book up first. Get in touch as soon as your charter is confirmed.
