A family holiday to the beautiful Swiss Alps is a perfect chance to rest, have fun, spend quality time with your family, and enjoy Verbier's stunning scenery. However, it must be said that holidays with children are not always as relaxing as we’d hope! Trying to juggle getting in your hours on the slopes, working out the logistics of ski lessons and pick-up, as well as finding time for a relaxed, sun-soaked lunch on a mountain terrace or a few drinks at one of the many apres bars in town, can all be challenging with children in tow. This is where Petit Verbier comes in…
Petit Verbier is a nanny agency with an excellent reputation for providing high-quality childcare services. They allow you to have a well-deserved break and enjoy your holiday hassle-free, knowing your children are well looked after while you enjoy skiing, apres drinks at Farinet, a meal out or even a relaxing massage in the comfort of your chalet. We’ve caught up with owner Sarina to learn more about the services they can offer our Ski Verbier Exclusive guests.
How does your After-Ski Kids Club work?
Our afternoon kids club collaborates with the local ski schools. It’s perfect for little ones who are keen skiers but perhaps too young to do a full day of skiing. Whether they spend the morning in ski school or exploring the mountains with their family, we can collect them from the ski school pick-up location directly from their instructor or from you. We’ll take them back to our base in the town centre and provide them with a two-course hot lunch. They’ll then spend the afternoon doing outdoor activities and playing games in the snow (weather dependent!), followed by games and arts and crafts back at our base before pick up. Kids Club starts at midday, runs until 4 pm, and is suitable for children aged 3 to 6.
What is your Ski Nanny?
Our ski nanny is the best of both worlds: a private ski instructor to take your little ones out on the snow for the morning, whether it’s their first ski or if they have a few winters under their belt, as well as an afternoon of high-quality childcare. We know it can be overwhelming for children to meet many new people, so our ski nanny gives your child complete continuity of care throughout the day. Our ski nanny has the training, qualifications and experience needed to provide a full day of fun on and off the slopes!
Do you offer private nannies and babysitting?
Yes! Private nannies can be booked for a one-off day, afternoon or the entirety of your stay. Our nannies come prepared with games, toys, activities, and excellent resort knowledge. We will organise a pre-meet for week-long bookings the evening before the booking commences so that you and your children can meet our nanny and discuss the plan for the week, plus any essential information.
We also provide evening babysitting so you can enjoy the many apres bars and restaurants that Verbier offers. If you’d like to go out and enjoy the nightlife, we don’t request a specific end time so that you can enjoy your night without worrying about a curfew!
What training and qualifications do your nannies have?
Our nannies are first aid trained, fully insured, police checked, reference checked, highly experienced, trained in Verbier, and English-speaking. Additionally, our ski nannies are fully qualified and experienced ski instructors.
We always consider your needs and will match you with a nanny who best suits your requirements. We love seeing our nannies bring their ideas, energy, and enthusiasm to their work with children, making our service second to none!
