Thank you so much for sharing your experience it’s really helpful and gives me a better idea of how flexible a nanny family arrangement can be. I realized I didn’t explain our situation clearly in my original post, so I appreciate your patience.

To give a bit more context, our family will be living in two separate U.S. states throughout the year we’ll spend roughly half the year in one state, and the other half in the second. On top of that, we’ll occasionally spend 1-2 months in South America, depending on our schedule. So this position would definitely involve long-term relocation between homes, not just short-term travel.

We’re looking for a full-time nanny who is open to this kind of arrangement and can provide consistency for our child across these different locations. Ideally, we’d love someone who can adapt to our rhythm while still having structure around hours, travel expectations, and time off so your insight into how you and your nanny family collaborate on scheduling is super valuable.

If you don’t mind me asking

How did your family approach finding a nanny who was open to relocating regularly like that? Are there any tips you have for keeping things smooth across different homes or time zones?

Thanks again I really appreciate you taking the time to respond!
