A trusted English-speaking nanny at your riad or hotel in Marrakech

Marrakech is a city you see on foot, in the heat, in the noise and crowds of the Medina. What makes the trip charming for adults quickly exhausts a two- or three-year-old: the days run long, the nap gets skipped, jet lag piles on top, and the evenings end earlier than planned. Most families we work with are not looking to hand over their children for the week. They are looking to reclaim two or three specific moments: one evening as a couple, one excursion too long for a toddler, one morning to breathe.

That is exactly what hourly care in your own accommodation gives you. Your child stays somewhere already familiar, with their things, their bed and their routine, while you enjoy the city. No extra journey, no unknown facility, no adjustment to manage mid-trip. The nanny comes to you, takes over the rhythm you describe, and you find your children exactly where you left them.

We have spent ten years working with visiting families — French, British, American, Moroccan families living abroad. We know the questions that come up before entrusting your children to someone in a country you do not know: who exactly is coming, what happens during those hours, how to reach the nanny, what the plan is if your child cries. We answer those before you book, not after.

An arrival that takes its time

The nanny arrives around fifteen minutes before you leave. That time does three things: your child sees her with you, relaxed, before you go; you hand over what matters — allergies, nap habits, what soothes, what irritates, bedtime; and you exchange direct numbers. A child left with someone they first saw chatting calmly with their parents separates far more easily.

Age-appropriate activities, brought to you

The materials come with us: shape sorters, pouring and transferring activities, sandpaper letters, nomenclature cards, sensory games. None of this is about running a classroom during a holiday. The Montessori approach serves a different purpose here: giving your child an activity they can carry out alone, at their own pace, with genuine satisfaction at the end. That is the difference between a child kept busy for an hour and a child asking for more the next day.

Rhythm respected, especially while travelling

On the road, routines fall apart one after another. So we hold on to what can be held: nap time, the afternoon snack, the bedtime ritual exactly as you describe it. If your child sleeps during the session, they sleep. If the day has been too long, the session goes quiet. We are not trying to fill every minute — we are trying to have a settled child when you get back.

What you know when you return

On your return you get a short handover: what your child did, what they ate, whether they slept and for how long, how the separation went. If something went wrong, you hear it from us immediately. During the session you stay reachable and so do we — one WhatsApp message from the restaurant is enough to check in.
