Katia,
we had a wonderful holiday and were really pleased with the service we received from yourself and especially Klara. My daughter warmed to her straightaway and had so much fun and I felt completely confident leaving Willow in her care. Klara was very helpful, we were with a large party and things could be a bit hectic at times but Klara was never fazed and ensured that Willow was entertained and happy. If we are able to make it to meribel next year we would definitely want to book Klara again if she was available and would recommend your services to any friends that were thinking of taking young children away with them.
Regards
Cherry W.

MERIBEL Feb 12

Thank you we had an amazing holiday.
I wanted to let you know that Klara was excellent, she built a rapport immediately with Lily. They spent most of the day together and Klara kept her well entertained. I have a huge noticeboard full of all the wonderful things Lily made with Klara. She was a credit to your company.
Booking process was easy and swift. I went with you because you were the first to respond and when you are holding flights and accommodation you need a swift response! I have already recommended your company to several of my friends and if we need a nanny next year, I wouldn't hesitate to use your company again.
Kind regards

Megeve-Nannies 12

Many thanks for providing Louise for our Saint Gervais trip in January to look after my youngest two girls Dorothy and Posy. I had a fantastic break, and I honestly thought the whole service provided from Merinannies was superb - and we couldn't have asked for a better Nanny! Louise was really lovely, and took great care of the girls. She made sure they had a wonderful holiday and was ever so thoughtful, giving them lots of lovely adventures and new experiences.

Hi Katia,
we had a very successful week in Flumet with Julia.
She was very professional, intelligent and good with the children and was in good time each day. My two year old was in a contrary mood for most of the week but she coped very well with him. I would definitely book her again.
Thank you for your service, it made a big difference to our holiday. We will be in touch again next year.
Kind regards,
Kate( Flumet)

What a great start with our new team in Grand Massif!

Noah (10 months) had a superb week with Mae. He really enjoyed her company and had enormous fun with her. I felt that she was resourceful, given the fairly cramped conditions of a ski chalet, finding simple activities that Noah would enjoy within the confines of the apartment. In addition, she had noticed that there was a playroom downstairs in the hotel so she took Noah there for a change of scenery, as well as on walks around the hotel, by the pool, and also outside. She kept him well stimulated and looked after and I hope we can continue it at home! I found Mae to be personable, easy to get along with, easy - going but at the same time alert.
If all your nannies are like Mae, then of course I would be happy to use Merinannies again, and on the basis of this experience I would certainly recommend your service.
Thank you very much,
Kumi

Katia, thank you very much for finding Klara for Georgina. She was, to be frank, an absolutely amazing nanny to Georgina

Nicole was fantastic and Amy got on with her very well. She was prompt in the mornings which let us get on with our days out on the slopes.

Very happy with all aspects of the service, very professional and efficient in organising it, and Rosanne was excellent - 100 percent reliable and the kids loved her. Thank you very much.

Hayley has been fabulous all week. The kids love her and she's been looking after them really well.
It has made the week much easier for us knowing that our youngest two are having fun and enjoying being here.
St Anton is a great resort and I would definitely come back here.

I just wanted to let you know that we were thrilled with Yvonne.

She was an extremely nice person who was calm & very experienced in dealing with little ones & had lots of clever ideas for amusing our daughter who had a great holiday.

Thank you for arranging it & look forward to using your co. again.

What to look for in a good nanny service

2011-10-31T14:37:00.000-07:00

Hiring a nanny service gives parents freedom to ski or enjoy their time in resort knowing that their little ones are in safe hands having a good time too. This is all good providing the nannies know what they are doing.
Merinannies consist of qualified and experienced nannies who have a warm and caring personality and a genuine interest in children. They plan a variety of stimulating activities for babies and children to make sure everyone has a fantastic time, they accompany children to their ski lessons, they help them practise with their skis and more.
Merinannies can speak various languages and some are sports and ski instructors specialising in younger ages. All our nannies are trained and have resort experience.
With the prices staying the same as last season we have most weeks full now.

Our aim is to continue to provide the best childcare in the Alps.

Merinannies is set up in the 3 Valleys by Katia Koumantou.Pozerskis a qualified school teacher.
Merinannies is a private nanny service for skiers and boarders covering Meribel Courchevel and La Tania.
All our nannies are qualified and experienced or have worked in childcare for a number of years successfully and demonstarte a strong interest in children, their well being and development.

2004

Merinannies have now employed 4 nannies in the 3 Valleys and their reputation is expanding.

2005
Merinannies have now placed 6 nannies who are fantastic so they are thinking about developing childcare in other resorts

2006
Merinannies place nannies in the UK too.

2007
Merinannies go to Nendaz and Verbier, they ski and have fun there so they start a new agency in the 4 Valleys too.
Verbier is bumpy, the nannies loved steep Mont Fort so they get super enthusiastic and work hard!

2008

Merinannies go to Austria, they love St Anton far too much to leave it alone so they start their childcare there too. They only have three nannies to start with. The nannies know that apres-parties are a must but not the day before work!

2009
Merinannies now have more nannies in St Anton and all families loved their care so they decide to explore other Alpine resorts.
2010
Merinannies go to Chamonix and Megeve and set their chidcare there too. They enjoy a first good season, the families happy and the nannies busy! So they now have two sisters Chamonix-nannies and Megeve-nannies. http://www.chamonix-nannies.com/
http://www.megeve-nannies.com/

2011
Merinannies have had a very busy winter in Meribel/Courchevel as well as St Anton and now gone to ski in Ischgl and Obergurgl/Solden areas where they fell in love with the places and the snow too and decided to set up there.
The new season is expected to be very busy in all our new and well established resorts and we are looking for more nannies who are qualified or experienced to join our exciting team.
