If you terminate the booking 30 days or less before your departure we will not refund deposits to you.
If prior to your departure we are unable to provide the nanny you have selected due to circumstances beyond our control, for instance if the nanny cancels the engagement, then we will endeavour to find an alternative suitable to you. If we are unable to provide a suitable alternative nanny then we will reimburse the fees paid by you.
