Feedback from Winters past
“Melanie has been wonderful. My 2 year old immediately bonded with her. She was very professional and planned loads of activities for my 2 year old to do when everyone else was skiing, it definitely felt she had a holiday too due to all the wonderful trips Melanie planned. She even planned and created fun for my older 2 children. I cannot recommend Melanie enough she has simply been outstanding”
Cook Family – Courchevel 1850 – March 2024
Melisa is just brilliant, this is the second year in a row we have booked her. Our girls love her and she has already thought of everything you would as a parent for your child’s needs. Mel took them all over Courchevel, taking them bowling, swimming, to a local carnival, and crafting. Our kids were spoilt for the week and had a fab time. Mel is completely trustworthy, flexible with requirements and reliable and gave us some great time as a couple as well as a family! Thank you
Broxson Family – Hotel Chabichou – Feb 2024
Mel and Kelli looked after our family over a weeks holiday. They supported us with 5 children 3 and under, which isn’t an easy undertaking, although they did make it completely seamless!! They were both so kind and happy to go above and beyond for us. It was my 10 month old daughter’s first time being left without a family member and she was completely comfortable in Mel and Kelli’s company. For once we actually got to relax on holiday – we definitely recommend for anyone who is considering booking.

“We have used Courchevel Nanny services many times now and always the nanny’s are amazing with the children. My daughter was even asking me to leave so that she could do her activities with Chloe”

“Kelli was absolutely fabulous. She was really flexible, always on time and brilliant with our 6 month old. Couldn’t recommend her enough. Thank you!”
Watt family – La Praz – March 2023
“This was our second year booking a nanny with Nicole and the Courchevel Nanny Services and we were again so impressed. The booking process was smooth and as ever, the thoughtful toys delivered to our chalet before we arrived and collected was seamless and added to the children’s enjoyment of the holiday.
Our nanny, Kelli, was fantastic. Our children instantly connected with her and they had a great week with her. Kelli collected the girls from ski school each day and was able to bring them up the mountain to meet us for lunch on some days and play with them in the town on others. She was warm, practical and gave us lots of lovely updates throughout the week. Thanks again!”
Chalet Peppa – La Tania – February 2023
We have just had a group week ski holiday with Mel and Georgia looking after our 5 children ranging from 10 months to 6yrs! They were absolutely amazing and so caring with our children. The kids all had a brilliant week doing so many activities, the older two were picked up daily from ski school and then had brilliant afternoons of fun. Thank you so much to Mel and Georgia for making our holiday as relaxed and fun as possible for all of us! I would not hesitate to book them again for another week of fun in the snow!
Chalet Rabel – La Tania – January 2023
Our nanny, Mel, was brilliant with our little boy. She has an outgoing, sunny personality and lots of energy. She took our son on daily trips out tailored to his interests. She was unfazed by his special needs and quirks and made every day fun for him. We are already booked in again with her!
