 Poster: A snowHead
|
We have booked to travel to Val D’Isère for New Year and will be travelling with our 7 month old daughter. After missing out on the slopes last year I was keen to get back to it and have booked a 1:1 nanny for the week through Espirit Ski (we are staying Hotel Ducs De Savoie).
However now I am seriously nervous about leaving the baby and I’m wondering if I’ve made a terrible mistake  We have no family available for childcare so that’s not an option. Has anyone had any experience of using this service? TIA

Esprit Ski is not a new company, they have been providing ski holidays with childcare for 40 years.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@Apsr2, welcome to Snowheads  - I haven’t used Esprit myself, but have had many clients who have, both 1-1 nannies and in the nursery setup. All were very happy with the quality of care, and experience/qualifications of the staff. I can quite understand your trepidation in leaving the baby with ‘strangers’ but feel Esprit are a good choice. Duc de Savoie is a very nice property too.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Welcome to SHs, @Apsr2, and to motherhood (assuming this is your first baby). If she will be 7 months old in the new year she must be very tiny now. She won't feel quite so new and vulnerable by then, and you will have been out and about with her more. It does all get easier. If you are breastfeeding, just make sure she's used to drinking from a bottle too. It's a good age to take a baby away because she won't be mobile. Things get harder once they are.

Apsr2 - as others have said they are a well known company etc and well used to dealing with situations like this. Also thanks to Kenzie - but I dont know enough the particular set up in this property having read the other thread too about this to give any more advice apart from they must have considered this situation already so hopefully won't be a massive issue either way.
