As a caregiver, a Nanny is responsible for taking care of children. This means keeping them safe, clean, fed, entertained and on schedule with the rest of the household. In addition to caring for children, Nannies may also be responsible for cleaning the house and minding the family’s pets. If there is a baby in the house, a Nanny will be expected to perform tasks like bottle feeding and diaper changing. For families with multiple children, they must simultaneously manage the unique needs of each child. Nannies are also expected to have a driver’s license—and in some cases, a car—to transport children to and from activities. They may also be asked to run errands for the parents. A successful Nanny blends seamlessly with the family, filling in where needs arise.
