A nanny's first priority should always be the care, well being and happiness of the child. Nannies work within the guidelines established by the parents, to help foster growth and personal development in the child.

The partnership established between the parents and nanny help encourage a sense of security in the child, and allow for normal emotional development. Many nannies are also willing to do household duties, i.e. laundry and light housework.

The nanny should be focused on completing tasks related to the child, including up keep of children's rooms, entertaining them, disciplining them, and caring for them. But, it is important to remember that the first priority should always be in the care of the children.

A live in nanny should be provided with her own bedroom and ideally a bathroom. When she is off duty she may wish to spend long periods of time in the private accommodation provided, therefore she should be made to feel comfortable.

A Governess typically lives out and is in charge of educating the children, sometimes there will be elements of home schooling. A governess may also take care of children after school until you return home.

They usually work two, three or four days per week. A part time nanny can also be employed for the mornings or afternoons; for example 5 days per week and do not live generally with the family. They tend to study or choose to work less over the years of nannying, or they simply take a variety of few part time positions on selective days.

Montessori Nanny

The Montessori trained nanny will employ an approach towards childrens education that inspires children to have a life long love of learning, by following their natural developmental milestones.
