Explanation regarding live-in nannies at a nanny housekeepers agency:

A live-in nanny is a professional caregiver who resides in your home and is available to provide round-the-clock assistance if necessary. Typically, live-in nannies work for 10 to 12 hours per day, five days a week. Additionally, many families expect them to provide two nights of babysitting as part of their overall compensation.

In order to earn a higher salary, a live-in nanny may opt to work a 24-hour shift or five to six consecutive day shifts. When they are not on duty, live-in nannies are provided with their own bedroom and privacy. Some families even offer separate accommodations to ensure their comfort. Moreover, families often provide a separate bathroom and, if possible, living space to attract highly skilled live-in nannies.

When selecting live-in nannies, nanny housekeepers will only recommend candidates who have prior experience working with children in the same age group as your family.

The duties of a Live-in Nanny may encompass the subsequent tasks:

Educating the children by introducing activities like learning a second language.
Supervising and overseeing the children’s activities (including driving).
Organizing play-dates and social calendars.
Ensuring the cleanliness of the children’s bedroom.
Maintaining the tidiness and ironing of the children’s clothes.
Scheduling additional educational activities for the children.
Keeping the parents updated on the children’s developmental progress.
Preparing meals for the children.
Assisting with their coursework.

The Take-Home Package of a Live-In Nanny:

In the case of a live-in nanny, the family is responsible for providing private accommodation as the nanny does not pay rent. This arrangement is more cost-effective compared to hiring a live-out nanny due to the difference in wages. Additionally, apart from not paying rent, the live-in nanny is also exempt from covering expenses related to food and bills. Many families opt for a live-in nanny because it offers them greater flexibility. They no longer have to worry about the nanny being late due to commuting. Moreover, having a live-in nanny allows for the development of a deeper bond between the nanny, the children, and the parents, as the nanny becomes an integral part of the family.

The process of hiring a Live-in Nanny by the nanny housekeeper will commence with our consultants conducting individual interviews with the applicants who meet the initial criteria. This criteria includes having at least one year of educational background and a minimum of two years of professional experience as a live-in nanny. During the face-to-face interview, the consultants aim to assess the candidate’s suitability by discussing their work history, personal background, their understanding of the role, and their passion for childcare, among other relevant topics.

It is important to highlight that all Live-in Nannies employed by nanny housekeepers will undergo a DBS check or police check, as well as hold a Paediatric First-Aid certificate.
