Travel Doula & Nanny Support
What is a travel doula/nanny?
A travel doula or nanny is a specially trained caregiver who offers full-spectrum support to families—wherever they need it. This unique role blends the nurturing care of a postpartum doula with the hands-on assistance of an experienced nanny, creating seamless support at home or on the go.
A travel doula/nanny can:
Travel with your family—supporting you during vacations, work trips, extended stays, or relocations while helping maintain routines, offering newborn or childcare expertise, and ensuring everyone feels grounded in new environments.
Travel to your family—coming to you, wherever you are, to provide intensive, specialized care. This is ideal for families welcoming a new baby, facing major life transitions, needing overnight support, or looking for long-term live-in care anywhere in the world.
Whether staying for a few weeks or a full year, your travel doula/nanny is there to bring rhythm, rest, and reassurance into your home life—no matter where that home happens to be. They help maintain family flow, support feeding and newborn care, create structure for older children, and bring a compassionate, professional presence tailored to your family’s values and needs.
This service is perfect for families seeking consistent, heart-centered support with flexibility, discretion, and cultural sensitivity at the core.
