For Immediate Release

Adventure Nannies is thrilled to announce the release of their new book, Adventure Nannies: Tales of Wonder, Wildness, and Wisdom. This inspiring collection of stories, authored by Adventure Nannies themselves, celebrates the transformative power of adventure and the unique bond between nannies and the families they serve.  

This book isn't just a collection of stories; it's a glimpse into the hearts of the amazing humans who make up the Adventure Nannies community. You'll meet one nanny who found that "it wasn’t about the carpet bag, the time-turner, the wardrobe, the pixie dust, or the cloak so much as it was about being together." One nanny, who like many others, found themself "consistently two bad days away from quitting", where "self-care felt foreign, indulgent, and selfish". And we hear from a nanny who asked herself, "What do you do when the crushing weight of your own love and compassion and dedication to doing your job well comes crashing down on you?".

We hear the inspiring story of an immigrant nanny who found validation through her perseverance, "While the world grappled with uncertainty, I found strength and validation in knowing that my commitment to nurturing children had been recognized in such a meaningful way". One nanny turned mom, turned industry leader, reminds us "It takes a village to raise a child, but it also takes a village to raise a mother. And it takes a village to raise a dream."

“People always ask us what the difference is between a nanny and an Adventure Nanny,” said Shenandoah Davis, CEO and co-founder of Adventure Nannies. "I’m so proud of each of the authors of this collection for bravely sharing their own stories and the beautiful, unexpected backgrounds that have shaped their journeys, and the lives of the kids they’ve spent time with."  

Adventure Nannies was founded in 2012 by Brandy Schultz, a travel nanny who sought to provide a different type of childcare for busy, progressive families. Her vision for adventure-filled care took off, even as her husband’s band, The Lumineers, skyrocketed to fame. Shenandoah Davis, who found entrepreneurial acumen through her decade of experience as a DIY touring musician, stepped in to lead the company in 2015. Adventure Nannies has since grown to be innovators in the nanny industry and the go to agency for extraordinary families to find nannies that work with their lifestyle and family needs, earning industry recognition and awards. The agency has been featured in publications like Forbes and The New York Times and works with hundreds of families each year, including entrepreneurs, musicians, athletes, and actors.Adventure Nannies: Tales of Wonder, Wildness, and Wisdom is now officially out and available for purchase. It is a must-read for anyone who has ever been inspired by the power of adventure, touched by the love of a nanny, or simply curious about the intersection of living with purpose and passion and pursuing “real” careers in nannying and private service.
