Nanny
Nannies in Miami
Nannies for Miami families who split the year between homes, raise children in more than one language, and need care that can travel with them.
Miami
A nanny in Miami often works for a family that is rarely in one place for long. Parents travel, children move between the Miami house and homes elsewhere, and the language spoken at breakfast may not be the one spoken at school. The Wellington Agency places nannies in Miami, in Coral Gables, Pinecrest, Miami Beach, Golden Beach and the other neighborhoods we serve, matched to how each family actually lives.
Two questions shape a Miami search early: where the nanny will live, and which languages the children should hear. Most roles here are live-out and some are live-in, and bilingual care is one of the things Miami families ask for by name. The rest of the brief, from hours to travel to parenting approach, builds on those answers.
The role in Miami
Childcare in a Miami household
Day to day, the job is the children: safe supervision, routines, meals, school mornings and homework, activities, and the calendar that holds them together. Miami adds sun, water and heat. A nanny here spends much of the year outdoors, so pool safety, sun protection and keeping a small child cool on a summer afternoon are ordinary parts of the day rather than special instructions.
ROTA nannies are in demand. Two nannies share one position on alternating stretches, usually weeks on and weeks off, so care carries on through long days, travel and changes of plan without wearing out one person. For a family in Miami for the busy months from November to May and somewhere else for the summer, a rota also moves well: the nanny on duty goes where the children go.
Miami clients ask for yacht-friendly staff as well. If weekends are spent on the water, a nanny who is calm on a boat and knows how to keep a small child safe on deck belongs in the brief from the start, not added later.
Why Wellington
Why Wellington for a Miami nanny
Language is often the first line of the brief here. Spanish is part of daily life in Miami, and families also ask for nannies who speak French or Italian with their children. Many of our Miami-area candidates are bilingual or multilingual and used to working in international households, so a request for a particular language narrows the search rather than stalling it.
Some families need more than daily care. A governess follows a curriculum, keeps a child's learning on track and travels with the family; a nanny looks after the day. We place both in Miami, and we will tell you which one your brief is really describing.
We match on parenting approach as much as experience, asking about sleep, screens, food and discipline before we present anyone. Most of our candidates hold CPR certification and childcare training, and each one goes through reference and background checks. We are a licensed agency, and placements typically take 2 to 6 weeks, including trials.
Questions
Frequently asked
Yes. Spanish is one of the languages families ask for, and many of our Miami-area candidates are bilingual or multilingual. Say whether you want the nanny to speak only Spanish with the children or to move between languages, because those are different candidates.
Often it does. With two nannies alternating, the children have care through the busy months here and through the moves before and after them, and neither nanny is asked to work every week of the year. We will talk through the schedule before presenting anyone.
It depends on what you need covered. A nanny provides day-to-day care; a governess works to a curriculum and travels with the family, which suits children whose year is split between homes and schools. Some households have both.
If you need it. Household staff in Miami travel as needed, and a rota makes long stretches away easier to sustain. Agree the destinations and how often before hiring, since travel changes the role.
