A Full Time live out nanny will look after your children in the comfort and familiar surroundings of their own home, on a working schedule that suits your family.
Live out Nanny
Live out nanny for parents at home
A nanny can share care of the children and related duties with the parents and act as an additional pair of hands. Households that benefit from a live out nanny are parents that run a home business, have children with additional needs, have twins, triplets, or generally feel outnumbered.
Live out nanny for working parents
If you work, your nanny can arrive before you leave for work, and go home when you return and have sole charge of your children in the meantime. Your children are cared for in their own home, and your nanny can assist with other duties related to the children, or other duties such as housekeeping.
What hours does a live out nanny work?
Traditionally, around 10 hours a day, 5 days a week, and you can usually arrange evening babysitting as well. This working pattern suits parents that work a traditional 9-5 job, but we have the solution for those that don’t. You can employ a live-out nanny that works on a more flexible basis such as part-time or to wrap-around irregular working hours.
