Nanny
Nanny is a professional who provides child care within the children's family setting. Traditionally, nannies were servants in large households and reported directly to the lady of the house. Today, modern nannies, like other domestic workers, may live in or out of the house, depending on their circumstances and those of their employers.
Duties and functions[edit | edit source]
A nanny's primary function is to care for the employer's children. This often includes making meals, helping with homework, and taking the children to school and other activities. Some nannies may also perform light housekeeping duties.
Professional requirements[edit | edit source]
Professional nannies often hold certifications in First Aid and CPR. Some may have a background in early childhood education. In many cases, they are required to have a valid driver's license.
Types of nannies[edit | edit source]
There are several types of nannies, including live-in nannies, live-out nannies, and night nannies.
Live-in nannies[edit | edit source]
Live-in nannies reside in the family's home. They may have their own room or share a room with the children.
Live-out nannies[edit | edit source]
Live-out nannies do not live in the family's home. They travel to the family's home each day.
Night nannies[edit | edit source]
Night nannies work overnight, caring for newborns and young children while the parents sleep.
