A day in the life of a Merinanny...

FUN AT WORK   ....

 

I arrive at work on a very cold but beautiful sunny morning, today I have one child who is 3 and a half years old. After parents have gone off for the day the child and I have a play of her favourite game, chasing each other around on the floor pretending to be dogs! what an adventure.... and the sound making turns to lovely singing and more imaginative play...

After this we wrap up warm and off out on the sledge. As the chalet is right on the piste it's easy to pull her along on the sledge down to the village. We hop on the bus to Courchevel to do some sledging in the fun area they have there, as well as some building in the snow. Our favourites being dinosaurs and dogs!

After this I take her to soft play, she has a great time playing with others and we have a dance together in the disco room. Tired but not exhausted we head back down on the bubble and then  on to the sledge she goes and I pull her back to the chalet.

After lunch we do snow painting, which involves food colouring mixed with water in a squeezy bottle and then 'paint' the snow... It's a very popular activity!

By the time the parents return the little girl is very tired but happy and she excitedly shares her day with her mum and dad.

Stage 1 will be in Les Carroz with Stage 2 returning to Morillon, Samoens, Sixt-FER-a-Cheval, Flaine and returning to Morillon 1100. With the mushers and their dogs visiting all areas of the grand massif no one should miss out on this spectacular sight.

Samoens Nannies on the go...

Preparations are well under way for the winter season for the Samoens nannies. The snow has been falling, lift passes have been ordered and nanny insurances and first aid certificates renewed but the most important part is preparing for the fun and games we will have with your children over the next few months.

 

We are keeping our eyes open and collecting all sorts of things to help your children have a holiday to remember. Books, toys, games, paint, glitter, glue and of course the ever-trusty yoghurt pots - the list goes on and on!

What’s your child’s favourite activity?

St Anton Nanny Sam says....

WINTER IN THE ALPS

I feel very fortunate to be spending my second winter with Merinannies back in the gorgeous town of St Anton, Austria. Where for 5 months I get to wake up surrounded by the beautiful white mountains and doing the job I love!! 

This place is obviously perfect for children, playing in the snow all day, playing in the parks, being in the fresh air! Not only are there a lot of activities to do outdoors but on those real cold days where maybe we can just play for an hour outside there is still so much to do! For example, baking cakes and cookies or taking a visit to the beautiful wellness centre where they have a brilliant children's pool, outdoor pool and little waterfalls that are great fun! There is always something to do in this town for the children and parents should feel at ease whilst they have a good day skiing and maybe a bit of après.

Also staying in such a small town run by locals you get to experience all the local traditions, especially over Christmas! Krampus is something that is so well known and kids love! All the locals get together dressed as 'scary' mountain goats and spend the day in the streets play chasing the children and in the evening there is a spectacular show where they all come together and there are lots of fire works and music played! When you arrive ask your nanny or chalet/hotel hosts what is on that week!

See you soon!
