We are excited to hire 20 Nannies for the upcoming fall season. Traditional nanny responsibilities center on childcare. The nanny functions as the primary authority figure while the parents are away or otherwise occupied; this usually means that the nanny is in charge of everything that corresponds to the care of the children. The kinds of tasks that a nanny will be expected to complete daily can include:
Creating a safe and stimulating environment for the children
Bathing and dressing
Changing diapers and potty-training, if age-appropriate
Children’s laundry
Planning meals, preparing food, and/or feeding the children
Arranging playdates and outings
Indoor and outdoor play
Educational activities and crafts
Carpooling or driving the children to school, activities, or playdates
Reading to the children
Help with homework
Organizing bedrooms/toys
Administering medicine with parents’ consent, if necessary
Maintaining logs for the parents
Light housekeeping
Light housekeeping chores might include grocery shopping, family errands, emptying the trash, loading and unloading the dishwasher, and keeping the kitchen and kids’ areas clean and tidy.
A nanny’s job is much more than the sum of her daily tasks, however! She needs to be able to tailor activities to each child’s interests, developmental abilities, and personality as well as communicate effectively with both the children and the parents. This requires a person with a high level of emotional intelligence.
A good nanny is reliable, trustworthy, and able to discipline the children according to the family’s preferred parenting style. She needs to be a person the parents feel entirely comfortable leaving their most precious assets with. She should also be nurturing, kind, active, creative, and interact well with children of all ages. It is neither an easy career nor one that is good for everyone—but many nannies describe it as the most rewarding work they’ve ever done! If you feel you would thrive in a position that requires the above-listed nanny responsibilities, perhaps this is the career for you.
