Founder Genevieve Van Voorhis first started nannying in the US in 2011, moved to Berlin in 2014, and continued nannying just up until her own baby was born in 2025.
In 2023, opened Lighthouse Nanny to help international families connect with top-tier English-speaking caregivers.
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 resource for establishing themselves in the childcare market in Berlin.
