The nanny’s role and duties
A nanny is solely responsible for your child’s safety, well-being and development whether you are working from home or back to the office. You have the right to feel confident that the nanny you have is able to act in a professional and loving way to your child at all times.
A nanny’s normal day to day duties as well as caring for a child includes:
1 Laundering children’s clothes
2 Housekeeping of the children’s rooms and any other part of the house frequently used on duty. Your home will look much as you left it.
3 Preparing and cooking children’s meals. This can include purchasing too, using petty cash.
4 Playing with their charges, observing developmental changes.
5 Ensuring your child/ren are nurtured and safe at all times.
6 Providing support and advice where appropriate.
7 Communicating effectively with close and wider family.
Nannies can be flexible but usually they will not conduct general domestic duties as part of their role. If this is a requirement of your role for your nanny, please mention this early in the process.
