Full-Time & Part-Time Positions

Basic childcare duties include meal preparation, clean-up, attending to children’s hygiene, planning educational activities, and possibly transporting children. Nanny is responsible for all housekeeping duties that are related to children’s needs, which may include dishes, laundry, picking up toys, cleaning up projects, etc. Must keep children’s rooms and play areas orderly and ensure that the house is at least as clean as when parents left. Nanny must commit to at least one year with family. Nanny will interview with prospective families and negotiate salary and benefits. Salaries vary with hours, duties, nanny’s education, number of children, and job experience. Live-in nannies will also discuss living quarters and house rules.

Household Manager

HHM duties also include more housekeeping, errand running (grocery shopping, etc.), coordinating of service people at the home (lawn care, repairmen), family laundry, transportation of children to school and activities, and possible cooking.
