Nanny
Nannies in Wellington
Nannies, rota teams and governesses for Wellington, Florida families whose days are shaped by school, the barn and a busy winter.
Wellington
Hiring a nanny in Wellington, Florida means hiring for a family's whole rhythm, and here that rhythm often runs through a barn. In the winter season mornings start early, parents may be riding or competing, and the circuit has classes for young riders too. The Wellington Agency places nannies in Wellington who are comfortable with that pace and who keep a child's day steady when the family calendar is not.
A nanny provides day-to-day care: routines, meals, the school run, activities and the steady presence a child relies on. A governess is a different role, enforcing a curriculum and traveling with the family. Knowing which one you need, or whether you need both, is the first question in any search.
The role in Wellington
What families in Wellington ask of a nanny
Barn experience is a common request, and for a nanny it is practical. A child who rides needs an adult who is calm around horses, knows the basic rules of a yard, and accepts that a lesson or a class can run late. That does not make the nanny a groom or a trainer, and the boundary belongs in the brief.
Language is the other frequent ask. Wellington clients look for bilingual staff, and for childcare that can mean a nanny who speaks Spanish or French with the children every day, or a governess who teaches a language more formally. German, Italian, Mandarin and Russian are requested as well, and the more specific the language, the more the search turns on it.
Schedules vary. Rota nannies, two professionals who alternate blocks of time, are in demand, and they suit families who travel or keep long hours through the season. Wellington roles are live-out, so the commute and the early starts belong in the first conversation.
Why Wellington
How The Wellington Agency handles a nanny search here
Wellington is home to our main office. Fit with the parents' approach matters more than any single credential. We ask families directly about discipline, screens, food, sleep and how much structure a day should carry, because the answers shape the shortlist. Every candidate goes through reference checks and background verification before you meet them.
The Wellington Agency is a licensed agency, and placements typically take 2 to 6 weeks, including trials. Families who start before the season choose with time to spare; families who call in January are choosing while the household is already at full speed.
Questions
Frequently asked
It depends on what you want the role to do. A nanny looks after a child's daily care and routine; a governess follows a curriculum and travels with the family, which suits households that move between homes and want schooling to stay consistent. Some families employ both, with authority between them agreed in advance.
Yes, if it is in the brief. Say how comfortable you need the nanny to be around horses and how long show days run, so we present people who have done it rather than people who are willing to learn.
Two nannies share the role, each working a block of time and then handing over, so the children always have a familiar adult and neither nanny is worn out by a long season. It suits families with long or unpredictable hours. Agree the handover routine at the start so both run the day the same way.
