Full time or part time. Nannies are responsible for the safety and well being of the children first and foremost. Nannies typically are also in charge of other child related duties such as children’s laundry, children meal prep and clean up, keeping child areas clean and tidy. The nanny may also have other responsibilities depending on the families’ needs.

Household managers will in our case typically be in charge of nanny responsibilities as well as household management. Aside from nanny duties, household management duties include but are not limited to: running errands, grocery shopping and planning, meal preparation, responsible use of a family credit card, organization and management of a family calendar, managing and planning children’s activities.

A mother’s helper is less experienced than our professional nannies. They are only required to have 2 years of nanny/babysitting experience. They will work along side a mom that does not necessarily need to leave the nanny for extended periods with the children, but could use an extra set of hands. This is why the mother’s helper is not expected to be as experienced as they will be working alongside the mom or dad.

A newborn care specialist is a nanny who typically has specialized training and always has extensive experi­ence in newborn care or nursing. Newborn care specialists often provide 24 hour child care for families with newborns during the first weeks of a child’s life.

Temporary placements are less than 90 days in duration. They include all nanny duties as arranged and agreed upon by the family. Sometimes a family only needs a nanny in the summer or the period of time between starting day care, etc. so a temporary placement is sufficient.
