Winter 2024/25 feedback
Mel has looked after our children for a number of years and is absolutely fantastic. She has a great energy and our children love spending time with her. We would recommend her to any family looking to visit the 3 valleys. We have rebooked again for next winter!
Stroud Family – Courchevel 1650 – April 2025
Mel was absolutely amazing and a delight to be around. She was so warm and caring from the minute she walked in the door. I loved her energy and attention to every detail. It made our family feel better about being somewhere that we had never visited before. She was so great about learning all three of my kids severe food allergies. I loved Mel and plan to use her next year.

Mel was a fantastic nanny for our two toddler boys. She was so natural with them both and catered to each babies needs. I would have Mel look after the children again she gave us such comfort and confidence to enjoy our holiday whilst ensuring the babies also had a great time.

Meribel Nanny Services was a lifesaver for us. Last year I spent a lot of time in another country vetting nannies for my young son while we skied and it was so nice to have the assurance that a nanny service did all that and was able to arrange everything. Our Nanny Mel was fantastic and it allowed us to have a few dinners with adults and also not rush back one day to do ski pick up – the kids really took to her immediately (including one child who doesn’t tend to bond with babysitters). She took my son on various adventures, brought toys to play with and overall was excellent. Communication which is important was great as well. Highly recommend.
Marra family – Courchevel 1850 – February 2025
We all adored Mel, she is an absolutely brilliant nanny and a real credit to your agency. She’s so friendly, personable and all the kids (age 0-12!) have taken to her- it takes a special person to be able to relate so quickly with such a variety of ages. We’ve really appreciated her flexibility and her incredible initiative at coming up with fun activities that kept the children beautifully entertained. We couldn’t sing her praises highly enough.
Thomas Family – Courchevel 1650 – February 2025
We had 2 nannies Mellisa and Kelli that looked after my brother and I’s 5 kids all 5 and under. It made the ski holiday much more enjoyable knowing that the kids were being looked after well and they were also enjoying their holiday. They were very accommodating to what ever we needed, if we needed them to stay a bit longer to enjoy a bit more skiing nothing was too much hassle. Would recommend to anyone looking to have nannies on a skiing holiday.
Bartlette family – Courchevel 1550 – January 2025
Honestly, couldn’t have been happier. Mel and Kate (Kathryn) were wonderful with my girls and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Professional, friendly, caring and created a wonderful rapport with the children (and us!). They really went out of their way to make our holiday as stress-free as possible. Looking forward to booking with you again next year.

Melissa was great! She planned amazing and fun activities with the kids and they loved it.

Amazing Nanny Experience with Our 24-Month-Old! We had a wonderful holiday with Mel caring for TJ our 24-month-old! She made sledding an absolute joy, keeping our little one safe while creating endless fun. Her warmth, patience, and enthusiasm were incredible, and she balanced fun and safety perfectly. Our toddler’s laughter said it all – we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I believe the highest praise we can give Mel is that when she left to go home, TJ was crying because he could not go with her. She also helped me navigate around Courchevel, as this was our first time visiting the area. I highly recommend Maribel Nanny Services and can’t wait to book Mel next year!

Mel is just brilliant, this is the second year in a row we have booked her. Our girls love her and she has already thought of everything you would as a parent for your child’s needs. Mel took them all over Courchevel, taking them bowling, swimming, to a local carnival, and crafting. Our kids were spoilt for the week and had a fab time. Mel is completely trustworthy, flexible with requirements and reliable and gave us some great time as a couple as well as a family! Thank you
Broxson Family – Hotel Chabichou – Feb 2024
Mel and Kelli looked after our family over a weeks holiday. They supported us with 5 children 3 and under, which isn’t an easy undertaking, although they did make it completely seamless!! They were both so kind and happy to go above and beyond for us. It was my 10 month old daughter’s first time being left without a family member and she was completely comfortable in Mel and Kelli’s company. For once we actually got to relax on holiday – we definitely recommend for anyone who is considering booking.

Mel is such a dream! Thank you
McInerney family – La Praz – January 2024
Our recent ski trip started with disaster with chickenpox appearing on a number of the babies. However, Kellie and Mel took it in their stride, minimising our stress wherever they could. They had their hands full with 5 children 3 and under with varies activities to deal with (ski lesson pick up, babies napping and a toddler to entertain) with the constraints of managing illness at the same time. They exceeded my expectations and allowed me some time to ski which I thought would be impossible. I am extremely grateful for their experience, care and kindness towards our whole family. We used the service last year, this year and will certainly be back next year! Thank you thank you thank you x
Bartlett family – Courchevel 1550 – January 2024
Mel was an absolutely brilliant nanny. This was the first time we had left our 8 month yr old son with anyone other than grandparents and Mel made us feel very confident from the outset. Our son really enjoyed spending time with her and we certainly wouldn’t hesitate to use her again if we were back in Courcheval
Gorringe family – Courchevel 1850 – January 2024
Our nanny, Mel, was brilliant with our little boy. She has an outgoing, sunny personality and lots of energy. She took our son on daily trips out tailored to his interests. She was unfazed by his special needs and quirks and made every day fun for him. We are already booked in again with her!

Feedback 2022/23
“Mel looked after our two girls, ages 5 and 7, and was absolutely incredible. Our girls felt totally comfortable with her from the outset, as did we. You could tell she was a parent herself, and was always thinking ahead of the things the girls would need, and that also made our lives easier on our holiday. She was a really nice, interesting and fun person to be around too. I would recommend her to anyone, and would certainly request her again if we come back to Courchevel next year”

We have just had a group week ski holiday with Mel and Georgia looking after our 5 children ranging from 10 months to 6yrs! They were absolutely amazing and so caring with our children. The kids all had a brilliant week doing so many activities, the older two were picked up daily from ski school and then had brilliant afternoons of fun. Thank you so much to Mel and Georgia for making our holiday as relaxed and fun as possible for all of us! I would not hesitate to book them again for another week of fun in the snow!
