Essaouira & Around

Childcare Designed for Essaouira

Care in Riads & the Medina

Pedestrian Medina

Our nannies know the alleys of the medina and walk to your riad, with no need for a vehicle.

Riads Without Railings

Extra vigilance around patios, stairs and rooftop terraces, typical of riads and rarely toddler-proof.

A Calm Rhythm

Essaouira is lived slowly: naps respected, play in the patio, short outings to Moulay Hassan square.

Ocean, Wind & Open Air

Trade Winds Managed

Outings planned around the wind: the beach in the morning when it is light, the sheltered medina in the afternoon.

Supervised Beach Time

Nannies trained in first aid, watchful of the currents in the bay and of blowing sand.

Gentle Protection

The wind hides the sun: sunscreen, sunglasses and lip balm, even on overcast days.

Questions About Essaouira

Can you watch our children while we surf?

Yes, it is our most common request in Essaouira. The nanny stays with your children on the beach, at the surf club or at your accommodation, depending on their age and the wind that day.

Do you have English-speaking nannies?

Yes. Essaouira has a very international clientele: our nannies speak French, Arabic and English, and some Spanish or German. Just tell us your preferred language when you request a quote.

Do you come to riads inside the medina?

Of course. As the medina is pedestrian, our nannies walk in and know the alleys well. We also cover the seafront hotels, Diabat, the Dunes and Sidi Kaouki.

Is the Essaouira wind a problem with young children?

It is easily managed once you know the rhythm: beach in the morning when the trade winds are light, back to the sheltered medina in the afternoon, windbreakers and sunglasses against the sand. Our local nannies know this routine by heart.
