As the Thanksgiving season rolls in along Florida’s First Coast, we’re reminded of the simple joys—historic charm, sea breezes, and heartwarming family gatherings. Amid the hustle of hosting relatives, visiting family, or enjoying a quiet home weekend, it’s essential to slow down and truly appreciate what matters. It can be challenging when the children are on school break, dinner prep is underway, and guests are arriving. That’s where Jovie of St. Augustine steps in, ensuring your holiday season is more about the joy and less about the stress.

Family-Friendly Activities for Thanksgiving Break on the First Coast
If you’re yearning to add a twist of local flavor to your Thanksgiving celebration, St. Augustine has a cornucopia of activities that make for perfect nanny-led outings:
- Pre-Feast Fun on the Sand: Start your holiday weekend with an early-morning nature walk along St. Augustine Beach or Vilano Beach. Your Jovie sitter can help kids collect seashells and talk about the local coastal ecosystem.
- A Historic Scavenger Hunt: Our nannies can turn a walk through the historic downtown area near the Castillo de San Marcos into an engaging scavenger hunt, looking for flags, cannons, or specific architectural details.
- Kick Off the Christmas Season: Ring in the holiday season the day after Thanksgiving at St. Augustine Nights of Lights. This dazzling light display is a post-Thanksgiving tradition that your family is bound to love, and a Jovie sitter can make it a stress-free outing for the kids.
