Nannies Australia is created by Early Childcare Educators who believe that quality in home Nanny services is advantageous to children, as opposed to a one size fits all approach offered in early childcare centers. Our aim is to create a community of caregivers and families all seeking to have their lives enhanced.

If you’re a new parent, or a parent with a completely new schedule, it can be hard to decide what kind of help and care you and your family might need. Hiring a part time nanny or live-in nanny are both great options, but you need to figure out which one is best for you.

What is a nanny and what do they do?

A live in Nanny can be a great option for families who have rotating and irregular rosters, work night shifts or travel a lot for their job.

A live in nanny is career who specializes in early childhood care and education. They will live with you in your home, which ensures flexibility, so they can provide extra help with the family when it comes to taking care of your children.

A live-in nanny’s primary job is to take care of the children and all their related duties. This can include some basic education needs.

If a live-in nanny or au pair Australia service isn’t what you’re looking for, you can always hire a part-time nanny.

A part-time nanny will have a very similar schedule to a live-in nanny, but they don’t have the added bonus of flexible availability. A part-tiny nanny will have the same duties as a live-in nanny, meaning they will look after your children in your absence, and perform duties such as care, feeding, bathing, maintaining routine and potentially running errands and doing pick-ups / drop-offs.

Any extra work can be taken on by a part-time nanny, but these will need to be discussed prior to hire. It’s important that you discuss your schedule with your part-time nanny to make sure they are happy and comfortable to work with you, and that they also can meet your needs and expectations.

No matter the schedule, a part-time nanny or live-in nanny will become an important part of your family. Finding a nanny, getting to know them, and slowing integrating them into your lifestyle is a fun and exciting experience. Enjoy the process and find the right nanny for you today!
