Nanny in Marbella
Bilingual nannies, Montessori- and first-aid-trained, for villas and international families on the Costa del Sol, with verified profiles in 48 hours.
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 within 48 hours, pay only if you hire, and are covered by a 6-month guarantee.

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.
