Though sometimes it’s not so great using your friends as nannies, seeing as you never actually get to go out with them. Sometimes it’s best to go with the professional nannies. However, when it comes to deciding what type of sitter you need? You may freeze up when you see how many ‘nanny genres’ there is!
Professional Nannies
When hiring a professional sitter for your child you will be able to interview the nanny beforehand as well as having access to all their previous babysitting history.
Types of Professional Sitters
Night-Time Nanny
A night nanny is a newborn specialist that is usually hired during the first few weeks following birth. They are perfect nannies for working parents during the week or parents who need a nanny for 2-3 nights a week so they can catch up on rest.
Live-In Nanny
A live-in nanny is a professional sitter that lives in your home and is available during most hours of the day and night (usually up to 12 hours of the day).
Depending on your agreement they may be in charge of washing your child’s clothes, cleaning up toys and preparing meals for your child as well as performing ‘nursery duties’. Live-in nannies are generally cheaper to hire as you will be providing them with accommodations.
Live-Out Nanny
Live-out nannies, also known as daily nannies work up to 10 hours a day during the week. They work during times that have been agreed upon in advance. Daily nannies can be in sole charge of the children and perform ‘nursery duties’, the same way a live-in nanny would.
