Adventure Nannies: Tales of Wonder, Wildness, and Wisdom pulls back the curtain on an often invisible workforce, revealing the heart, intelligence, and adaptability required to excel in what many mistakenly dismiss as "just babysitting" and the profound impact of those who choose to make childhood their life's work.

“If you think nannies are ‘just’ caregivers – think again. In Adventure Nannies, ten nannies offer an unfiltered peek into their lives as family assistants, problem-solvers, confidantes, crisis counselors and travel companions, all the while forging deep bonds with the children in their care. Their stories are a fascinating look at a profession that requires heart, flexibility and an unwavering commitment to shaping the next generation.”- Linda Åkeson McGurk, author of There’s No Such Thing as Bad Weather and The Open-Air Life
