Holiday nanny - any advice?

Have any of you ever worked as a nanny for a holiday company? It's something I've been thinking about and wondered if anyone has any good/bad experiences to share, or knows which companies are good/which ones to avoid etc.

Anyone?

I haven't, but you may get more of a response on a nannying forum, like nannyjob?

I worked for mark warner many years ago, it was hard work but great fun, how old are you if you dont mind me asking, most staff were in their 20's - mid 30's! A great experience and I am so glad I took the plunge and did it! go for it you wont regret it!!! look on face book mark warner staff have created a few groups so you can get a bit of inside info on where is good to go and which resorts are rubbish...good luck

I worked for 'unijet' and 'sunworld' (we are talking 12 yrs ago now) as a kids rep in the summer and a chalet nanny in the winter. Was a fun job...if your expectations are right...expect to work from dawn to dusk with the kids, do cabaret, airport transfers at 5am, be up all night with guests in hospital, live in a S**t hole and get peanuts for pay!!
But I travelled the world, made some lifelong friends...and spent alot of time drunk!
