About us
As an older child in a large family from Upstate New York, children became an important focus in Genevieve Van Voorhis’s life early on. She secured her first nanny role in 2009, and moved to Berlin in 2014. Here, she noticed a major difference in the private childcare market versus the one she left behind in New York. Regulations were convoluted and resources were scarce, making it difficult for families and nannies to work together happily.
In 2022, Genevieve decided to open Lighthouse Nanny. For families, Lighthouse streamlines the gruelling search process by only supplying candidates who are fully qualified and eager to work in private childcare. For nannies, Lighthouse acts as a support resource for establishing themselves in the childcare market in Berlin.
Lighthouse Nanny officially opened in 2023. Its goal is to introduce top-tier nannies to the international families that need them, and cultivate the highest quality childcare experience possible.
