Nanny in the clouds

Hey

Has anyone used the Nanny in the clouds service ?
It's a website that basically put parents in contact with nannies that may be on the same flight as you.
We are doing a long haul flight soon and I thought I might try it.

Thanks

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

See, now, I can definitely see a market for it cackles at thought of swanning it in business whilst the sprogs get fobbed off to the back of cattle class...

sounds like total hell tbh - no money in the world could make me look after a strangers nightmare noisey child in an enclosed space with everyone throwing daggers at you as they scream

but the nanny in the mall could def catch on

I don't understand this at all, although I've seen the websites. Do they fix rates etc? Can anyone sign up as a nanny? Seems bizarre to me....

Although if anyone is in the flight from CDG to EMA on the 30th I'll pay you to occupy DS

It's for parents with children who are hard to control. If crayons, paper, books talking to keep them entertained don't work put them in an overhead compartment I say. I'm out. I really can't see this making money or creating work.

But what could a Complete stranger do for your child that you couldn't on a flight, what will you b doing? Not having a go just interested how and why?

You could not pay me enough.

Sounds like hell.

But this could catch on....what about 2nannies in the mall". You find a nanny who happens to be shopping at the same time as you and s/he can entertain your children while you try on some clothes.

Hi,

I just recently heard about it and signed up as a nanny. I fly often short flights and a few longhaul every year. But so far not many people have signed up.

Sounds like a busmans holiday if you are a nanny.
