A nanny may work full-time, part-time and will live inside or out of the home. A nanny nurtures your children as if they were her own. Nannies plan activities and outings, come up with educational activities, and teach children as they read, play, etc. The nanny is responsible for both the physical and emotional needs of the children. 

A nanny typically has at least three years experience in the child care industry.

What is a Professional Nanny?
A professional nanny has at least five years childcare experience, 3 or more of those years being a “Nanny”. The professional nanny has a great deal of experience, perhaps even some training in child development or education. A professional nanny considers this her career. This is not a job just to get her through college; this will be her job indefinitely.

Permanent Nanny
A permanent nanny one who is hired for at least one year on a full-time or part-time basis. This service is ideal for families who require consistent care for a long period of time. A permanent nanny is hired by the client family and paid directly by the client.

Mother's Helper
Once the mother returns home from the hospital, she may want/need a mother’s helper.  Families who will hire a mother’s helper will have one stay at home parent. Responsibilities would include helping out with the care of the children to light domestic help.

Post Natal Helper / Newborn Specialist
This type of nanny is hired to care for your baby if you decide you need some temporary help.  A post-natal helper will assist in all newborn needs that take place during the day or night. They will feed, burp, diaper, rock, sing, administer medicine (upon parent’s approval), etc. A post-natal helper may work as little as a week or may work until that new little one is on a regular sleeping schedule. A post-natal helper must have experience with newborns and may have experience with multiples and/or preemies.

A Post Natal Helper has more experience than a night nanny.  She can teach you how to swaddle, burping positions, bathing routines, and even help with getting the baby on a sleep schedule.  A Post Natal Helper may help with the infant's laundry, and any other care of the infant you might require.

The Night Nanny's responsibilities include caring for the infant(s), bottle-feeding and/or breastfeeding support for the mother, comforting the infant(s), changing diapers, and tidying the nursery. The Night Nanny can also implement a sleep schedule to help infants sleep through the night.
