When meeting a family for the first time, there’s always that distinct tingling feeling of butterflies dancing in your stomach.

When first meeting with children, it is generally a good idea to bring along something that will break the ice and grab the children’s attention while the parents quietly scoot out the door.

What’s in your nanny bag?
Your vacation is supposed to be a stress-free experience. Bringing a nanny along can be the key to not only a stress-free vacation, but also one where the children are tended to while you and your spouse are able to enjoy some alone time, too. However, to ensure that your vacation is as wonderful as it should be, you will need to sit down with your spouse and your nanny prior to leaving and work out all of the minor details so that everyone is on the same page.

Caring for children during the Vancouver summer as a nanny can be a blast. Vancouver hosts beautiful ocean beaches, horse drawn tours through Stanley Park and the Children’s Festival at Vanier Park. You could also decide to walk along the sea wall and then take the children to the Planetarium or Museum for a fun filled afternoon. It’s a shame that summer doesn’t last all year long!
