A summer nanny in Marbella can make your holiday even more magical.
Spending the summer on the Costa del Sol is a dream for many families: sunny days by the sea, relaxed dinners outdoors, and children playing happily in the garden. With the right support, like a caring and experienced nanny, your time in Marbella can be as restful and joyful as you imagined—for you and your little ones.
That’s where a summer nanny can make all the difference.
At Mary Care Marbella, we work with families every summer—both those who live here and those visiting for the holidays—who tell us the same thing: “We just want someone we can trust, who will keep our children safe and happy, so we can actually enjoy our time here.”
Why Hire a Summer Nanny in Marbella?
Whether you’re staying in a villa for a few weeks or spending the entire season in Marbella, having reliable childcare brings peace of mind. Indeed, it’s not just about supervision. A good summer nanny becomes part of your family’s rhythm—joining beach outings, preparing simple meals for the kids, helping with sunscreen and nap time, entertaining with games, and giving you the space to relax.
Some families need full-day help, while others just a few hours in the evening. Some prefer a live-in arrangement, especially when flexibility is key. Others choose a live-out nanny for specific schedules. It all depends on your needs—and that’s what we help you define.
What Makes a Great Nanny in Marbella?
For most of our clients, language is a priority. English-speaking nannies are in highest demand, though many of our candidates also speak Spanish. But language is just one part of the picture. We look for professionals with real experience, especially with children of similar ages. A calm, kind personality, flexibility, and strong references are essential. And when summer means pools, beach outings and day trips, first-aid skills and a driving license make all the difference.
Finding someone you trust with your children—even for a few weeks—is not something you want to leave to chance.
That trust means freedom. Freedom to enjoy a quiet dinner, take a deep breath, and truly relax—knowing your little ones are safe, cared for, and happy.
What About Costs?
Rates vary depending on hours, the nanny’s background, and whether they work as part time or full time. As a general reference, families usually pay between €15 and €20 per hour. Prices tend to rise slightly in high season—especially July and August—so it’s best to plan ahead.
We always clarify salary expectations and conditions with both families and candidates to ensure there are no surprises.
How We Work at Mary Care Marbella
What sets us apart isn’t just the quality of our nannies—it’s the care we put into every match. We personally interview and verify each candidate. We ask the right questions to understand your family’s rhythm, values and needs. And we don’t just “send someone”—we help you choose a nanny who feels right.
We stay in touch even after the placement starts, because your peace of mind matters.
Final Thoughts
Hiring a summer nanny in Marbella means giving your children the attention they deserve—and giving yourself the chance to enjoy your holiday. Whether it’s long lunches, spontaneous plans, or simply knowing someone’s there when you need a moment to breathe, the right childcare changes everything.
