Whether desiring more family time or wanting to enjoy exclusive relaxation away from the kids, your Vacation Nanny is the perfect supplement to your family plan. While together, your Vacation Nanny will help wherever needed, but is also sensitive to family privacy and time alone. When you’re ready to enjoy the pleasures of the Caribbean by yourselves, your Vacation Nanny becomes a full time escort for your children. While relaxing in the adults only, ten-seat Jacuzzi on the sun deck, your kids will be having a blast at the Yellow Bird Kid’s Club under the full service supervision of your Vacation Nanny.

There are more than enough activities at Franklyn D. Resort to keep your kids busy and having fun. One of the most popular places, the Yellow Bird Kid’s Club, is packed with everything from computer games and books to snorkeling lessons and beach picnics.

During all inclusive activities, your children’s safety is meticulously looked after by your Vacation Nanny, leaving you complete peace of mind.

Teenagers will enjoy a unique collection of destinations and events to make theirs a memorable vacation. They can enjoy snorkeling, tennis, computers, games, disco and numerous other activities.
