Nounou

Nounou

Nounou is a term often used in French-speaking countries to refer to a nanny or childcare provider. The role of a nounou is to provide care for children, often in the child's own home, while the parents are at work or otherwise occupied.

Duties and Responsibilities

A nounou's duties can vary greatly depending on the needs of the family, but they often include tasks such as feeding and bathing the children, helping with homework, and providing age-appropriate activities. Some nounous may also perform light housekeeping duties, such as cleaning up after the children and preparing meals.

Qualifications and Training

In many countries, there are no specific qualifications required to become a nounou. However, many families prefer to hire nounous who have experience in childcare and who have undergone some form of training. This can include courses in first aid and CPR, as well as training in child development and early childhood education.

In some countries, such as France, nounous are required to be registered with the government and to undergo regular inspections to ensure that they are providing a safe and healthy environment for the children in their care.
