Permanent Nannies
Full-Time Nannies
Full-time nannies work in a family’s home as either a live-in or a live-out caregiver. These caregivers typically work 40 hours or more including weekends. The hours, duties, and salaries are agreed upon prior to hiring by the family of a desired full-time nanny. Full-time Nannies perform childcare for one or more children as well as perform light household duties usually related to the child or children they care for. They can also perform transportation for children, assistance with homework, help them to bathe, make up their beds, and keep the house tidy. Some nannies are willing to take on additional housework for extra pay, and many nannies-especially full-time, live-in nannies may have several roles in your home as errand-runners, bookkeepers, filers, menders, and even cooks.
