Samantha Jordan, a 30-year-old professional nanny, newborn care specialist, and postpartum doula splitting her time between Las Vegas and California, has shared her strict safety boundaries when working with ultra-high-net-worth families. With 12 years of experience in the industry, Jordan explains that one of her absolute nonnegotiables is refusing to fly on private planes or helicopters. She makes this stance clear right at the beginning of the interview process to ensure neither party wastes time if private aviation is a strict requirement for the position. While some families who like her candidacy are willing to make exceptions and accommodate commercial flights—arrangements that Jordan always makes sure to put in writing—others require regular private travel, leading her to pass on certain opportunities. Her caution stems partly from hearing about a scary flight experience from a college athlete and reading more about private aviation, which makes her uncomfortable due to unfamiliarity and varying levels of oversight. When she travels professionally, her primary responsibility is caring for someone else's children, which heavily influences how she evaluates potential risks that most people might not think twice about. She notes that while access to private aviation doesn't automatically make it the better choice, commercial airlines offer a level of comfort she prefers, and sometimes she even arranges to meet families at the destination while they fly privately, with her airfare always covered. Beyond aviation, Jordan maintains other strict safety boundaries, including needing to know and meet any driver rather than getting into a car with a stranger, and avoiding taking babies to the beach or into the ocean where she cannot see the bottom. She believes nannies need better protection and clear protocols when traveling for work. Source: Business Insider #NannyLife #TravelSafety #PrivateJets #WorkplaceBoundaries #Childcare
