Recently I had a chance to catch up with my good friend Lexy Capp of Nannies & Housekeepers USA and talk a little bit about vacationing with kids in her favorite spot in the world, Las Vegas, Nevada. Here’s what she had to say.

eNannySource: I’d say most people think Las Vegas is for adults only. Is Las Vegas family friendly?

Lexy: Las Vegas offers something for everyone in the family! Our website provides a list of Family Friendly Activities, including the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay, M & M World, Game Works, Mirage – White Tiger Exhibit, Secret Garden of Siegfried & Roy, Circus Circus Adventuredome, Hiking at Red Rock and The Venetian Gondola Rides, to name a few.

eNannySource: What are your top three favorite family friendly things in Vegas?

Lexy: Red Rock Hiking, DISCOVERY Children’s Museum, Secret Garden of Siegfried & Roy, plus the dolphins at The Mirage.

eNannySource: What are some of the struggles parents face when traveling with children to Vegas?

Lexy: Parents traveling with small children are often faced with a need for childcare. Nannies & Housekeepers USA offers In Room Nanny Service at the finest hotels in Las Vegas.
Nannies & Housekeepers is approved and referred by the top hotels, concierge and families. The agency is properly licensed, bonded and insured. Risk Management ONLY refers to Nannies & Housekeepers USA.

eNannySource: What should parents consider when choosing childcare on vacation?

Lexy: Make sure the agency is properly licensed, bonded and insured. Ask about the screening process! Nannies & Housekeepers USA offers a boutique agency experience for families. All of the nannies who work at the hotels are employees of the agency. All nannies are available 7 days a week – 24 hours a day. Nannies are CPR Trained & First Aid Certified. All nannies undergo a meticulous background screening.

eNannySource: Tell us about the childcare options you provide for visitors in Vegas?

Lexy: In Room Nanny Service – We are approved and referred by the finest hotels, concierge and families. Licensed, Bonded & Insured – All the nannies are CPR Trained & First Aid Certified. Nannies bring their Mary Poppins’ tote bags filled with arts, crafts and age appropriate activities to serve children at the hotels. Event Childcare – Nannies & Housekeepers USA is licensed as a mobile daycare offering event childcare for weddings, groups and conventions.

eNannySource:  How far in advance should parents make childcare arrangements for their vacation destination?

Lexy: We have successfully filled every request – which is one of the reasons the hotels love working with Nannies & Housekeepers. We suggest families reserve their IN ROOM NANNY as soon as they make their reservations for dinners or shows. We ask for a four hour advance notice – however, we have been able to fill last minute requests.

eNannySource: What are your top three tips for traveling families?

Lexy: Choose a destination that offers family friendly activities. Choose a destination that offers childcare at top resorts, as mom and dad want adult time, too. Go with the flow; travel can be stressful – take it one day at a time.
