Our Live-In Nanny Service and the Benefits of a Live-In Nanny
For many families, choosing to hire a nanny is the very best thing they can do for both the children and parents. This is especially true about live-in nannies that are conveniently available to provide childcare in the home without having to commute to work.
Here is an overview of Household Staffing International’s live-in nanny service and why you may want to consider hiring a live-in nanny for your children.
Duties and Responsibilities of a Live-In Nanny
There are several different kinds of nannies, including full-time nannies, part-time nannies, and career nannies. But the primary thing that sets a live-in nanny apart from other types is the fact that the nanny lives in the family’s home and is a full-time household staff member.
Some of the most common duties of a live-in nanny for babies include feeding, diaper changing, playtime, dressing, and managing nap schedules. For older children, this job often involves arranging play dates, playing games in the house and yard, and cooking meals for children. Doing children’s laundry, grocery shopping for the kids’ food, and coordinating with parents for kids’ schedules are also part of the normal responsibilities of a live-in nanny.
Qualifications of a Live-In Nanny
Live-in nannies should have previous childcare experience, such as with babysitting jobs, in a daycare, or in a school setting. Nannies should be able to pass a background check, have a driver’s license and a clean driving record, and typically not have young children of their own if they need to be available on a live-in basis. Live-in nanny requirements may also include having your own vehicle to transport children, running errands, having a passport to travel with the family, know how to cook to prepare children’s meals, and CPR certification in case of an emergency.
Benefits of a Live-In Nanny
Compared to nannies who live outside the home and commute to work, there are many benefits to having a live-in nanny in your home. Your live-in nanny can be on-call and available whenever you need her and in case of emergencies. Live-in nannies often bond more with children since they are always in the home and spend more time with children. They are easier to communicate with and coordinate schedules with, and they are often more willing to work irregular hours and travel with a family.
