Alicia Rossouw, Founder & Owner
Alicia Rossouw lived abroad for seven years, gaining valuable hands-on experience working as a nanny and in playschools.
As a mom herself and the owner of Cheeky Monkeys / Bekkige Apies Playschool, Alicia has spent years understanding children, their needs and what makes exceptional childcare.
She believes a great nanny should be so much more than someone who simply watches the children. You need to get down to their level, play with them, engage with them and genuinely enjoy being part of their world.
Alicia personally hand-picks and trains every nanny to ensure they are caring, proactive, fun, responsible and confident. The goal is to create a nanny experience that becomes a wonderful addition to the family’s holiday to give parents the opportunity to relax, unwind and enjoy quality time together, knowing their children are happy and well cared for.
That personal approach and high standard have been at the heart of Holiday Nannies since 2004. ❤️
