A travel nanny can keep you sane on vacation for $500 a day - NY Post
One day she’s touring the Alhambra in Andalusia, Spain. The next, she’s taking one of her charges to Gladiator School at the famed Colosseum in Rome.
Such is the glamorous career of Beth Lehmann, who charges wealthy families between $300 and $500 a day to watch their kids while the clan is on vacation.
The 55-year-old bicoastal professional is one of a growing number of so-called “travel nannies,” who get paid to accompany well-off parents and entertain their kids on trips abroad. Everyone comes away happy, says Lehmann: Mom and Dad can chill on the beach sans kids, and the nannies get to see the world on someone else’s dime.
“My friends are all like, ‘Can I have your life?’ ” says Lehmann.
