FULL-TIME NANNY
This is a caregiver whose focus is directed solely on the welfare and well being of the child in your home. In the case of older children light household duties and/or errands may be required. Most frequently, the nanny cares for the children in the family’s home and all domestic tasks relating to the children. Some Nannies have formal training others do not, though usually both have a great deal of experience.
GOVERNESS
This caregiver is also a qualified educator for school age children. Typically, these candidates possess a minimum of an undergraduate degree in a child education related major. They plan and implement structured goals and objectives for the child’s mental, emotional, physical, intellectual and developmental growth.
NANNY/MANAGER
As children enter school, a full-time nanny is no longer needed. Children need a professional who can drive them to and from school, organize after-school activities, run errands, grocery shop and provide supervision. Some of these caregivers will have the evening meal ready following your family’s favorite recipes.
