Don't be fooled by the sunshine!

In the Uk it has felt that Spring is well and truly here and when the weather is warm we start to cast our minds forwards to planning a summer break, beaches and cocktails by a pool seems just around the corner.

However, with the latest snow dump in the Alps, put away the idea of rediscovering your summer wardrobe and make the most of the final few weeks of the skiing season.

Not only could there be some deals to be made booking your perfect accommodation, here at Meri-Nannies we can find the perfect solution to all your child care needs. Don't delay book today.

Those of you that have already planned your escape to the snow, remember that on 30th March is the day to treat our mothers. At Meri-Nannies structured play and craft activities are fundamental to your child having a wonderful and fun-filled holiday and with our highly qualified and creative nannies a relaxing and thoughtful mother's day is guaranteed. Easter bunnies, treasure hunts and other Easter crafts are waiting for your little ones.

Don't forget summer is round the corner and look out for our new destinations at www.kidsingreece.com

Looking forward to hearing from you.
Warm regards

We are now half way through the season, conditions have been fantastic and our families  have been  enjoying the slopes, while the little ones are making happy memories.
I can’t be more proud for our nannies when we have feedback like the below  and would love to share it with you….

"Thanks once more for providing such great nannies; it is great to have such a reliable address for quality nannies; it enables us to enjoy skiing ourselves, because we know that our children are having a good time as well. Best regards and I’ll be in touch next year!" Courchevel client.

"Merinannies  is an amazing nanny service. Not only do they provide excellent nannies in the high end ski resorts but many popular summer destinations too. I think they are a service all mothers should know about!" Journalist and author mum.
 
"She was a lovely nanny: very responsible and caring for our little baby and also great with the older children. She has a good feel for when they need activity and when they need some down time. A true professional and a pleasant person to have around; I was impressed how she handled the three of them together! At some point Daniel didn’t even want to go skiing because he wanted to stay with her.."

What we say...

If I was a parent planning a holiday I would not look any further…Merinannies childcare services are like Golden Dust!

March is a lovely month, warm and with good long days to enjoy skiing and outdoor après…

We have some spaces to fill and we are providing a range of activities for pre-Easter fun, so you don’t need to bring games with you.
This comes with a 10% discount  plus new package offers.

AND … don’t forget, if you have not made it skiing this season and not planning a trip either, our sister company www.kidsingreece.com are already taking bookings for the summer too!

I can't believe it's February already and we're all over the love and hearts theme for Valentine's Day.  With half term approaching, we haven’t got skiing on our minds. This week our nannies have focused on shopping for more exciting stuff to entertain the children and express our love for craftwork, while parents enjoy the best snow conditions in the season!

Sequins, glue, card, paints, glitter and colourful paper for garlands, as well as baking ingredients for heart biscuits and lollies! Our outdoor games guarantee endless fun too for these sunny parts of the day.

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, where ever you celebrated it. We had a white Christmas enjoying the slopes, as did our nannies that were lucky enough to have the day off. For those that were working they have said how magical it was to work with the children on that special day. The magic of Christmas just isn't the same unless the sparkle of children and laughter are involved!

The summer may be far off your mind, but when you have time please take into consideration Kids in Greece. Our equally exceptional service that we offer in many of the Greek Islands with a lovely team of Nannies to make your holiday stress-less and trouble free.

Fashion in the chalet
 
Here's a useful tip from one of our Nannies. "I love to take the children out to explore in the snow, making snow angels, snowmen or going on an adventure. When we get back to the chalet, nothing beats getting all cosy in a nice, warm, highly fashionable onesie! The kids love it when we dress up together and then complete our day with fun and games wearing our onesies. It is a nice thing to do with them at the end of the week when they are worn out and need some time to relax. So if you have a onesie for your child, please pack it, the funkier the better!! "
 
Thank you all for your support and we wish you all the best for a happy and healthy 2014.
 
Happy New Year!
 
Kind regards

Some activity ideas from our Nannies

As you are ticking off the days in the run up to your well-earned break, our nannies are busy gathering ideas and sharing activities with each other, to make your child's holiday as memorable as yours. Here are some of the wonderful ideas that are being shared.

There are of course the old classic party games, pass the parcel and musical statues, the Snowman Scramble, ideal for a large group of children. Split the group into equal and fair teams, mixing up the ages. Take a coat, hat, scarf, gloves and even a home-made snowman nose.
Each team has to dress their snowman with no help from the designated snowman. The quickest team wins!

A little something extra

We can offer a photographic package to your booking, this will contain pictures taken of your children while in the care of your Nanny. Showing you all the interesting and exciting experiences they have had while on their holiday. It is  a nice memory for you and also lovely for the children to look back on or as a reminder for your next ski trip. For prices please ask us.
