Nanny
Nannies in Jupiter
Live-out nannies for Jupiter families, matched to how you parent and to a household that may spend only part of the year on this stretch of coast.
Jupiter
A nanny in Jupiter looks after children whose days are spent outdoors for much of the year: the beach, the pool, the river and, for plenty of families, the boat. The job is the same daily care a good nanny gives anywhere, with the added habit of watching the water and the sun, and of keeping routines steady in a household that may arrive in November and leave in May.
The Wellington Agency places nannies and governesses in Jupiter and the communities around it, including Jupiter Island, Hobe Sound and Palm Beach Gardens. Placements here are live-out, and schedules can be full-time, part-time or rota, depending on how many hours the family needs covered.
What decides whether a placement lasts is rarely the timetable. It is how closely the nanny's instincts about sleep, food, screens and discipline line up with the parents' own, which is why we ask about those things directly before anyone is put forward.
The role in Jupiter
Nanny work in a Jupiter household
The core of it is safe, age-appropriate care: routines and healthy habits, activities and outings, school preparation and homework, children's meals and wardrobes, and clear communication with the parents and the rest of the staff. On a property with water at the end of the lawn, it also means unbroken attention near pools, docks and the shoreline.
Rota nannies are in demand, and in a Jupiter household it is easy to see why. Two nannies alternating, typically on a weeks-on, weeks-off pattern, can cover long or unpredictable days without wearing one person down, and the children still see the same two faces. Because Jupiter roles are live-out, a rota here has to be planned around each nanny's own home and the drive in, and that is worth settling before the search begins.
Language is the other request that shapes a brief. Some families want Spanish, French or Italian spoken with the children every day, so that a second language becomes part of ordinary life rather than a lesson on the calendar.
Why Wellington
Choosing a nanny or a governess for Jupiter
The first question is which role you need. A nanny provides day-to-day care. A governess works to a curriculum, holds the children to it and travels with the family, which suits households that move between Jupiter and other homes during the year and want schooling to carry on through each move.
The season shapes the brief as well. A family in Jupiter from November to May may want a nanny for those months only, or one who comes with them when they leave, and those are different searches with different candidates. Placements typically take 2 to 6 weeks, including trials, so a search for a November arrival is best started well before the family travels down.
Every candidate goes through reference checks and background verification before you meet them, and the references we take for a nanny center on safety, routines and continuity with earlier families. The Wellington Agency is a licensed agency, and we match on how a family parents, not only on hours and experience.
Questions
Frequently asked
Jupiter placements are live-out, so the hours, the drive and any evening or weekend cover are agreed at the start. Households that need long or unpredictable days covered can use a rota of two nannies rather than asking one person to stretch.
Yes, if it is part of the brief. Spanish, French, Mandarin and German are among the languages families ask for. Tell us which language and how fluent the nanny needs to be, because a nanny who speaks it at home and a governess who teaches it are different hires.
If schooling is the priority, possibly. A governess follows a curriculum and travels with the family, which helps when children split the year between Jupiter and another home. If what you need is reliable daily care and supervision, a nanny is the right hire, and some households employ both.
On many Jupiter properties that is part of the job, so raise it early. Most of our candidates hold CPR certification and childcare training, and experience with young children near open water is worth asking about at interview.
