International nanny agency: Monaco, London, Dubai, New York - Magic Nannies

Since 2016, Magic Nannies has been supporting families in over 15 countries. Diplomats, expatriate families, those living between several cities, parents with international schedules, our clients share a specific need: a trustworthy, bilingual nanny capable of integrating into a demanding family environment, regardless of their country of residence. Here's an overview of our international presence and what distinguishes our approach in each market.

Why use an international nanny agency?


Hiring a nanny abroad is not a simple matter. Administrative constraints, cultural differences, visa and work permit issues, and the difficulty of assessing a candidate remotely all make international recruitment significantly more complex than local placement.


An international nanny agency like Magic Nannies handles the entire process: sourcing candidates in the target country or coordinating existing profiles, checking references, managing administrative aspects (visa, work permit, contract adapted to local law), and providing support until the nanny starts her job. To understand our step-by-step methodology, please visit our " How We Work" page.


Monaco - The market of absolute discretion


Monaco has an exceptionally high concentration of wealthy families in a small geographical area. The needs there are very specific: bilingual live-in nannies capable of adapting to an intense lifestyle, travelling with the family between Monaco, the French Riviera, Paris and often abroad, and maintaining absolute discretion.


The most sought-after profile in Monaco is that of a full-time nanny or a "rota nanny," two professionals alternating weekly to ensure 24/7 care. A bilingual nanny is also highly sought after by families with several young children.


London - The Franco-British market


London is one of our most popular destinations. The city is home to a large French community, estimated at several hundred thousand people, a large part of which consists of families with young children wishing to maintain French-English bilingualism.


The most frequent requests in London concern:

  • French-speaking nannies for British families wishing to offer French to their children

  • English-speaking nannies for French expatriate families wishing to maintain their English on a daily basis

  • Bilingual maternity nurses for births occurring during expatriation


The London market is highly competitive, and good candidates are snapped up quickly. Using Magic Nannies gives you access to our network of pre-screened candidates before they are placed elsewhere.


Dubai - The premium expatriation market


Dubai has become, in just a few years, one of the most popular expatriate destinations for French and Francophone families. The city attracts highly demanding families, entrepreneurs, senior executives, and families in the financial or real estate sectors, with high expectations for home services.


The needs in Dubai are often broader than just childcare. We regularly place:


One point to note in Dubai: visa and work permit issues for nannies are governed by specific regulations in the United Arab Emirates. Magic Nannies assists families with these procedures to ensure a smooth and compliant start to their employment.


New York & Los Angeles - The Francophile United States


French families living on the East or West Coast of the United States represent a growing segment of our clientele. Whether they are looking for a French-speaking nanny to maintain French in an English-speaking environment, or a native English-speaking nanny to reinforce their children's bilingualism, their needs are specific and their expectations are high.


New York and Los Angeles have domestic work markets governed by specific laws, particularly the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights in New York. Magic Nannies ensures that every placement in the United States complies with local legal requirements regarding contracts, compensation, and the rights of domestic workers.


Toronto & Vancouver - Bilingual Canada


Canada, and particularly its major cities, has a large Francophone community and a growing demand for bilingual French-English nannies . Toronto and Vancouver are our two main Canadian markets.


French-Canadian families or French expatriates in Canada often seek caregivers who can support their children in both of the country's official languages, a natural fit for our bilingual nannies. Travel nannies are also in demand for families who regularly travel between Canada, France, and other destinations.


Sydney & Melbourne - Australia


Australia attracts many French families seeking long-term professional assignments. While the market is less crowded than in Europe, demand is consistent, primarily for full-time bilingual nannies and maternity nurses for births occurring during their time abroad. Fluency in English is naturally a prerequisite for any placement in Australia.
