They are generally paid a weekly salary with taxes taken out and holiday or vacation time built in. Duties can vary depending on the family and age of the children, but often cooking, transporting children, and light household chores are included with this type of position. A nanny will spend a lot of time with your children and help maintain and develop the rhythm to your children’s day. The nanny you hire will be an active part of your children’s lives and development. Communicating what’s most important to your family in areas such as playtime, discipline techniques, schoolwork, bath time, screen time, and eating habits are issues to be discussed and will continue to evolve over time. If your nanny will help with errands, laundry, and light housework on a regular basis, be clear on what you expect and make sure the nanny can comfortably complete those tasks while caring for your children. What is a Babysitter? Babysitters are usually hired for specific time periods at an hourly rate. While the babysitter may do more than just supervise the children, this is usually negotiated with each sitter. If you’re using a babysitter for an evening out, it’s important to cover what the bedtime routine is. Most of the time, you’ll address issues, such as meal preparation, helping with homework, and providing transportation for each babysitting session. In some cases, you may have an ongoing schedule with a babysitter. The line can sometimes blur between babysitter and nanny, but the differences are more than just semantics. Whether you hire a nanny or babysitter, you’ll need to consider if you’re comfortable having someone else drive your children. You may prefer someone who has CPR training or comes with a personal recommendation. Hiring childcare gives you the chance to think about what your family’s values and priorities really are. Many parents consider their nanny part of the family, in terms of partnering in raising the children. If you’re returning to work and hiring childcare for the first time, these considerations will help you make the best decision for you and your children. I like to think of myself being in the best of both worlds.
