In addition to these typical responsibilities, depending on the family’s needs may have other responsibilities. The nanny’s responsibilities should be clearly articulated and written in a family/nanny work agreement. Nannies who take on additional responsibilities that are not related to childcare generally command a higher hourly rate.
While vague terms like “light housekeeping” are used within the nanny industry, parents and nannies should instead agree on a specific list of responsibilities to avoid misunderstanding, confusion and unclear expectations.
BABYSITTER: Person responsible to take care of young toddlers/children in short absence of parents. The schedules are very flexible to the needs of parents and the working days can be sporadic, although sometimes it can be a frequent basis. For example: every Friday night.
TASK: varies widely depending on the time (day or night), but essentially is attentive, vigilant and takes care of basic needs for children. She is a confident person and able to make quick decisions.
- Cooking for children
- Bathing and dressing children
- Helping children with general hygiene
- Keeping the children’s areas neat and clean
- Disciplining children when appropriate in a manner consistent with parents philosophy
- Supervising
- Provide basic first-aid, as required
- Administer medications, as specially directed
- Serving as a trusted companion to the children.
Finally, remember it is important to find a babysitter in which you can put your complete trust when you leave home. All parents need to rest and indulge in personal fun extra curricular activities (like date night!) from time to time with a trustworthy care taker for their children.
