Daily Nanny / Live Out Nanny
Find a Daily Nanny:
-
A Kindred Daily Nanny lives in their own home and will care for your children on a daily basis. Daily Nannies have previous formal childcare experience and will usually come from either a Nannying, Teaching, Nursing or other childcare background.
Daily Nannies work full days - A typical Daily Nanny role consists of an 8-10hr day, either Full time (4-5 days a week) or Part time (1-3 days a week).
A Daily Nanny is often available for babysitting upon request and some families will even include a night in the agreed hours when completing a contract.
-
Over and above keeping your children safe and happy at all times, a Nanny role incorporates ‘Nanny Duties’. This includes anything child related, both admin or household-wise.
Meal planning and cooking
Organising activities, playdates, appointments and extracurricular classes.
Supervision of homework.
Taxiing to and from activities and appointments.
Children’s laundry
Nursery/Bedroom/Playroom upkeep.
In addition to this, some families might agree extra duties with their Nanny. You might like your Nanny to cook the evening meal for the whole family rather than just the children. Or perhaps you have a dog you’d like your nanny to walk. Some families require PA type duties or extra housekeeping. These additions should be thought of as ‘extra duties’ and it’s important to understand that not all Nannies will be willing/able or interested in taking them on. But if this is what your family need, then as long as you clearly outline the extras and include it in your job description from the start, our consultants will do their very best to find you a pool of candidates willing to go the extra mile.
-
