Nannies -
A Nanny is defined as a child's nurse who is over the
age of 18. A nanny has usually had relevant training. However, he or she
may be classed as a Nanny without training if they have had over two years
experience of sole charge caring for children, which can be
supported with good references.
Nannies are responsible for the physical,
intellectual, language, and emotional and social development of the
child/ren in their care, and can organise daily routines to stimulate and
develop in these areas.
A Nanny is responsible for all household chores related to the children,
but is not responsible for other household duties
unless agreed specifically. These duties should be discussed and agreed
prior to employment

Maternity Nurses
Maternity Nurses are qualified
Nursery Nurses/Nannies who have further training in working with newborn
babies. They are able to advise on all aspects of baby care including
routines, feeding and sleep!
Maternity Nurses can live in with
the family or live out. They can either provide 24 hours cover, or day or
night cover dependant of your specific needs.
Nanny Share
A Nanny may be employed by
two families at the same time. The practical arrangements are
negotiated between the two families and the Nanny. |
Mothers Help
A Mothers Help is usually a candidate who is less
experienced than a Nanny. They will work alongside the parent,
gaining further experience whilst gradually taking some sole charge.
Housekeeper/Nanny
This would involve the Nanny managing the house as
well as the children, particularly if the children are of school age. |
