Rota Nannies

Hire a Rota Nanny

The rota nanny model has become one of the most sought-after childcare solutions among high-profile families in London, Paris, New York, Monaco, and beyond. Offering 24/7 coverage on a rotating schedule, rota nannies deliver exceptional care without compromising continuity or professional boundaries.

At Nanny & Governess, we specialise in placing rota nannies who are not only highly experienced but also adaptable, discreet, and able to meet the unique demands of busy, global households.

What is a Rota Nanny?

A rota nanny works in a team, typically alternating shifts with another nanny — often one or two weeks on/off. This allows for round-the-clock coverage while ensuring each nanny has dedicated rest time, reducing burnout and maintaining a high standard of care.

Why Rota Nannies Are Gaining Popularity

1. Seamless 24/7 Coverage:
Ideal for families who travel frequently, have demanding professional schedules, or require night-time support for young children. The rota system ensures your children always have a well-rested, attentive caregiver.

2. High-Level Professionalism:
Rota nannies are often former maternity nurses or career nannies with experience in high-net-worth and VIP households. They bring structure, routine, and calm to even the most complex family setups.

3. Flexibility for Modern Families:
Whether based in Knightsbridge, Chelsea, or St John’s Wood, or dividing time between homes in Doha, Madrid, or Kuwait City, many families find rota nannies offer the flexibility and continuity that traditional arrangements cannot.

4. Well-Suited for International Living:
Rota nannies are travel-ready, often holding multiple languages and passports or visas. They are comfortable moving between properties in London, New York, Monaco, and Nice, ensuring consistency in your child’s care wherever you are.
