Travel roles can be magical—or blurry. The difference is whether hours, space, and downtime are defined before wheels go up.
For families
Spell out flights, schedules, who pays per diems, and how “on duty” maps across time zones. Children need consistency; adults need rest.
For caregivers
Ask where you sleep, how meal breaks work on a resort day, and what happens if you fall ill away from home. Great travel families welcome those questions.
Contracts and courtesy
Travel amplifies small frictions. Write the variant schedule and overtime triggers before departure, not after midnight in a hotel lobby.
