When we think of hiring a nanny to care for a child, it may seem that the responsibility is solely "child-related"; however, if you were to break down the day step by step, you would see that a nanny does so much more.
*Wake up the children and get them dressed
*Get lunches ready for school
*Get breakfast ready and clean the kitchen
*Drive the the children to school
*Stop to do a few errands for the household
*Plan dinner for the children/family and do grocery shopping
*Organize and clean children's rooms and make beds
*Organize and clean children's bathrooms
*Do children's laundry from sorting, washing, hand-washing to drying and ironing
*Accept packages, supervise repairs and other workers as needed
*Keep a list of needed items for children and/or home
*Pick up children from school and to after-school activities
*Bring children home and provide a snack
*Help children with homework
*Begin to prepare dinner
*Assist with bath and preparation for bed
*Prepare children's clothes for next day
In all of these responsibilities, there is a need for a nanny to know how to do many things such as:
*Organize closets, drawers and rooms
*Clean a bedroom, kitchen and bath
*Launder clothes
*Cook basic healthy meals
*Make Lists and do grocery shopping
*Drive
*Tutor
*Manage activities such as household repairs
*Multi-task and have a good sense of time management
*Maintain a sense of security for the home and children
*Handle emergencies as they relate to the home and children
With working parents, a nanny is in full charge not only managing the children from every aspect but also running the household.
