Generally a Nanny is responsible for all domestic routines related to the care of the children such as:
- Bathing
- Feeding, preparing meals and cleaning up after meals – breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks throughout the day.
- Washing and changing children’s’ bed linen and towels (some Nannies will do the washing for all the family) and general bedroom tidiness
- Ironing of the children’s clothing and wardrobe management and prepare school uniforms for next day if appropriate
- Laundry and kitchen tidiness (dishwasher)
- Running light errands/ light shopping
- Maintaining the children’s rooms and play areas
- Keep a communications diary which notes eating/feeding habits, toileting patterns, developmental milestones, behavior patterns, fun activities undertaken, concerns and anything that a parent may need to be aware of.
- Co-ordination of fun and educational activities, swimming, going to the park and lots more!
Nannies (permanent or full time) are generally required to work from 7 – 8am to 6 – 7pm.
