Nanny in Marbella
Nannies for families in Marbella
Marbella is home to international families who expect childcare to match their household: a nanny who is genuinely bilingual, at ease in a multilingual villa and able to handle the daily school run to one of the coast's international schools.For these families, the right nanny is as much about languages and discretion as it is about warmth and reliability.
Demand here has its own rhythm. Some families live on the Costa del Sol year-round; many split their time between countries or arrive for the summer with newborns and several children in tow. The nanny they need usually pairs childcare with English or French, Montessori-style play, first aid and water safety around the villa pool and the beach.
Maids & Co recruits for exactly this profile in Marbella. We interview in depth, verify references with previous families, and confirm languages, Montessori training and first-aid certification before we present anyone. You receive the first compatible profiles in under 3 hours, pay only if you hire, and are covered by a 6-month guarantee.

Coverage in Marbella
Areas we cover
Most of the demand is concentrated in Marbella's gated communities and villa enclaves — Sierra Blanca, La Zagaleta, Nueva Andalucía, Puerto Banús and Los Monteros — where families want a nanny who is discreet, can drive, and can manage the school run to nearby international schools such as Aloha College, Swans International and English International College.
It is also a seasonal market: Guadalmina, Nagüeles, Benahavís and Sotogrande fill with summer residents and second-home families. We can have the selection ready ahead of your arrival so the nanny is in place from day one, and we cover the whole Costa del Sol.
A nanny in Marbella earns above the national average — the bilingual, Montessori and first-aid profile sets the rate in Costa del Sol villas. Guideline 2026 figures:
In Marbella, a full-time nanny typically runs from €1,700 to €2,500/month, and €2,000 to €3,000/month if she lives in at a villa (board included). The bilingual, Montessori and first-aid-trained profile sits at the top of the range. By the hour it is around €15–20/h. The legal minimum is the 2026 SMI (€1,424.50/month over 12 payments; €9.55/h), with Social Security registration from the first hour. Our fee is one month's salary plus VAT, and you only pay if you hire. The service includes 2 trial days with the candidate before you confirm the hire.
Do you have bilingual nannies for Marbella's international schools?
Yes. We select bilingual and trilingual nannies (English, French and more) used to international households and the school runs to colleges such as Aloha College, Swans International, English International College and Laude San Pedro. Alongside languages, we check Montessori training, first aid and homework support.
Do you work with villas in La Zagaleta, Sierra Blanca or Puerto Banús?
Yes — that is our main client profile in Marbella. We place live-in and live-out nannies in villas across La Zagaleta, Sierra Blanca, Nueva Andalucía, Puerto Banús and Los Monteros, with experience in luxury homes, water safety (pool and beach) and complete discretion. We coordinate with the house manager or wider staff when needed.
Can you have a nanny ready for the summer season?
Yes. Many families spend the season in Marbella, so we line up the selection in advance and have the nanny ready for your arrival. We present the first verified profiles in under 3 hours and offer a 6-month guarantee; you only pay if you hire. We also cover Benahavís, Guadalmina and Sotogrande.
