What is the role of a Nanny?

The responsibilities of a nanny can vary widely from household to household, depending on the agreement with the family. You are a professional and we advocate for you! We assist with a comprehensive “Nanny-Family Agreement”, which outlines hours, duties, salary, living accommodations (if living in), car use (if necessary), etc. This agreement is signed by yourself and your employer, and reviewed by you prior to your first day of work.

A nanny’s duties may include:

  • Tending to each child’s basic physical needs

  • Meal planning and preparation for the children

  • Laundering and caring for clothing belonging to the children

  • Organizing play activities and outings

  • Setting behavioral guidelines

  • Providing discipline when appropriate

  • Providing social and intellectual stimulation

  • Providing transportation

  • Housekeeping, when related to the children

  • Traveling with the family.

Nannies must also be able to communicate effectively with both the children and their parents. Depending on the individual family, the nanny may be treated as an employee, as a cherished friend or as a member of the family.
