Charlotte, Charlie, and Millie interview Julia, a teacher, tutor, and experienced travel nanny, as she shares her adventures and anecdotes from working around the world.

Julia talks through what to consider when deciding whether a travel role is the right fit, starting with the brief. Does it align with her values, experience, and instincts? If so, the initial interview is absolutely imperative. She explains how she uses this stage to gather key information about the type of trip, expectations, and responsibilities, as well as the importance of thorough pre-trip research. Cultural norms, local customs, and weather conditions all play a vital role in preparing for a successful placement.

She discusses the wide range of travel experiences she’s had, from immersive cultural adventures to living on a beach that could be anywhere in the world. Not all settings are without risk, though, and Julia shares her thoughts on the perils of places like water parks and how to manage them safely.

Julia highlights the essential skills required for travel nannying, including planning inventive activities, forming quick and meaningful bonds with children, and confidently establishing boundaries and discipline in unfamiliar environments.

She also shares her tried-and-tested travel hacks for airports, flights, and keeping children entertained throughout holidays, along with lessons learned from common pitfalls—yes, including the dreaded lost luggage.
