Qualified childcare, outdoor education, and holistic meal planning for families staying in the Three Valleys — delivered by a former UK teacher and governess, now based here full-time.
I am Hope, I trained as a primary school teacher in the UK before spending several years as a governess and household educator for families across London and abroad — coordinating everything from entrance exam preparation to summer camp logistics.
Now based full-time in the Three Valleys, I bring that same rigour to families visiting the mountains: qualified, DBS-checked childcare; structured outdoor activities that make the most of the landscape; and family menus tailored to your household, plus accompanying children to restaurant reservations so the whole family can dine out together.
Each service can be booked on its own, or combined into a single itinerary for your stay — from a morning of childcare to a full week of outdoor sessions, schoolwork support, and tailored menus.
Ad hoc or rota-based childcare for chalet stays, covering ski days, evenings, or full-day care — arranged around your family's schedule, not a fixed roster. Days include creative play and art teaching alongside standard care, keeping children engaged beyond screen time.
Structured, qualified outdoor sessions that turn the mountain into a classroom — nature walks, environmental exploration, and seasonal outdoor play for children of all ages.
Keeping schoolwork on track during term-time stays and holidays — homework support, structured study sessions, and entrance exam preparation, drawing on a PGCE background and experience coordinating Common Entrance prep.
Family menus tailored to your household's tastes, ages, and any dietary needs — plus accompanying children to restaurant reservations so the whole family can enjoy dining out together.
Every booking is quoted individually based on hours, ages, dates, and season — get in touch and we'll come back with a clear price for your stay.
Christmas/New Year and February half-term carry a premium over shoulder-season pricing, in line with resort-wide seasonal rates.
Combining childcare, an outdoor session, and a meal plan into one family week is quoted as a single all-in rate rather than itemised — ask for a bespoke quote.
A former competitive Italian ski racer — Super G, Giant Slalom, and Slalom — Nico has spent 6 years teaching in the Three Valleys and works comfortably with total beginners, families, and professional-level skiers alike.
As partners, we can be booked together — Nico as your private ski instructor, and childcare and activities covered alongside. It's a popular choice when parents want their own private lesson time with Nico while the children are looked after nearby, or when a family wants coordinated instruction and care across different ages and abilities in one day.
