Where can I find an EXPERIENCED travel nanny to fly London - Sydney - London?????????????????

[Georgiaplus1]

I'd rather not pay a recruitment agents fee, I've searched google, and still nothing......

I need an experience nanny who has the experience of entertaining my 2 year old son for the flight from London to Hong Kong (stay over night) then Hong Kong to Sydney - stay in Sydney for a month then back again. I'm a nervous wreck! I'll be on the flight too but can't stand the thought of my son not being happy or being able to run around.

I'll of course pay for the nanny's flight etc, does anyone know where I can find someone with experience without paying a recruitment fee?????

Thanks

maybe she is trying to justify it the overall cost by cutting out the fee. Like I do when I buy a dress and get a discount

Yes you can take kids in first class but if she handed him to a stewardess on boarding, it would mean he would not necessarily be in first class.

PMSL at this thread... how the other half live eh??
I know, why don't you book him on a different flight then you wouldn't be inconvenienced at all?

Depends on the carrier. You can't if the first class cabin is upstairs (I think no under 6s are allowed)

But if you get a uk based nanny, maybe an Australian, you could offer them the flights and then

not need to pay them during their stay. It would be a good deal for someone, wouldn't it?

It might be seen to be a good deal for someone who didn't need to work for a month. Whether they would necessarily be on the return flight though is a risk that the OP would have to take.

I didn't know that about first class.

FARKIGN NORA
YOU IDLE *

The no kids upstairs rule applies to business class as well - one of the reasons why the upper deck is fought over by business travellers.

there once was a woman called heorgia
who had to get over to orestraylia

she coudlnt be arsed to not go first clarse

so she payed ofr somwoen else to do it

why dont you just leave him at home

Cod none of that rhymes

Oooohh, I'm unexpectedly unable to return home to NZ for financial reasons and would be happy to entertain your son on the flight if I could bring my 9 month old and 5 year old along too! Then I could go home for the month and rejoin you in Sydney for the return flight! perfect.

i know
am crap

I had poncy parents and flew economy for the first time in my late teens. I never appreciated first class, now I bloody hanker after a vip traveller card and the private departure lounge and all the crap that I took for granted as a pampered (probably utterly vile) child.

Where has the op gone?

yep

vile

Could be she took fright?

shes re-acquanting herself with her children

lol at the indignation on this thread.
The idea of a 2yo on that length flight horrifies me so much I just wouldn't ever have done it. I don't really blame the OP for wanting help but agree, the agent fee seems the lowest part of the cost, OP should pay it.

Luckily mine are older now and I don't need to go to Australia.

But anyway, Gumtree, bet you can find a lovely Aussie nanny who'd jump at this.

Oh yes, definitely get an Oz nanny from Gumtree - they won't be fazed by the flight at all. And their attitude tends to be a tad more positive ime.

and we are horrible

and RIGHT

I knew a couple who flew to Mauritius first class with the nanny & children in economy.

lol
and they SO wanted kids
