Hiring families should write down the duties they expect the nanny to assume before they interview. Use this list of duties as a reference when interviewing. If you expect meal preparation, be sure to screen for that. If you expect clothes to be ironed, make sure the candidate knows how!”

“Caring for children 10 hours a day without a meaningful break is a very demanding, stressful job. Ask any ‘at home’ mother! The nanny should be encouraged to take a few minutes for herself during nap time or when her charge is in a preschool class for a few hours. Play groups, gymboree, library reading hour, and other ‘social activities’ for the preschool set are also a good way for the full time nanny to have a bit of adult interaction in her work week. The realities of full time nanny employment often overwhelm the new nanny. There are many ‘entry level’ nannies whose direct childcare experience is limited. Many agencies do not refer nannies under the age of 20. The younger nanny may be a very good candidate, but the employer must consider maturity, ...
... experience, and aptitude when evaluating nanny candidates. Most experienced nannies will not assume general housekeeping responsibilities such as parent’s laundry, errand running, vacuuming, dusting, and bathrooms. If they do accept these responsibilities they will be expecting to be compensated accordingly.”

There are articles relative to nanny duties and responsibilities in the NannyNetwork.com Library. We, the Sandra Taylor Agency, as the premier Domestic Help Agency in Beverly Hills since 1967, will continue to publish relevant counseling to parents and nannies, to help them forge lasting relationships.
