What are a London Nanny's Typical Duties?

A London nanny's duties are associated with the care of your child; Morning Routine, School Run, Nutrition, Educational Activities, Cleaning up After the Child, Night Time Routine, Additional Benefits. In addition, a London nanny can work as a nanny housekeeper when your child is at school or nursery.

Nanny's Morning Routine:

During the mornings, a nanny will come to work just before the child wakes up. Normally they will start by waking up the child and helping them to get washed, brush their teeth and get dressed. Usually the child's school / day bag would have been prepared the night before. Whilst the child is getting dressed, the nanny will prepare a healthy, nutritious breakfast to give them a good boost of energy for the day.

School Run:

In London, the children's schools are normally a walking distance away from the family home and the nanny will be more than happy to take the children to school on foot.

When families decide to hire a nanny in London, they will often look for candidates who have a clean driving licence and who are confident drivers. When the nanny is a confident driver, and the school is a little further away from home, a professional London nanny will be happy to use their own vehicle for school runs however, we advise that they are reimbursed for the fuel and vehicle use. Alternatively, some families will offer the London nanny a work vehicle which they can use for work.

It is also not uncommon for the nanny to have use of the family chauffeur or taxi service when travelling with the child.

The nanny will always be responsible for the safety of the children, their happiness and security. When hiring a chauffeur, they will not need to have an enhanced DBS or PCO licences as it they will not be working directly with the child and the nanny will be the responsible adult.

Child Nutrition:

If there isn't a family chef, or the parents do not leave meals for the nanny to heat up, the London Nannies will often be in charge of preparing breakfast, snacks, lunch and dinner for the children. It is important that the nanny is a confident cook and that they can follow instructions when preparing a meal. For the child's safety and well being it is paramount that the nanny is made aware of any allergies that a child has.

Professional london nannies will always have good knowledge of where to buy healthy groceries and will be able to order groceries online. When trying to find a nanny in London on your behalf, these questions will always be asked by our recruiters during the initial interview stage. 

The nanny candidates who we recommend, will have good knowledge of healthy meals and snacks appropriate for the child's age group.

 Educational Activities:

When families choose to hire a nanny in London, they often want to know which special clubs and after school activities the nanny has experience in taking the children to. If your child attends ballet, horse riding, swimming or any other sporting activities, it is important that the nanny understands what equipment and clothes the child will need with them.

For younger children, a nanny will play developing games and arrange activities which will be fun and exciting for the children whilst maintaining focus on development and education. Stimulating and creative activities will always improve your child's development and wellbeing.

If there is an educational program such as theatre, drawing, mathematics or any other classes, our nannies will be able to recommend near by extra curricular activities and of course take your children there whilst being responsible for their safety. A nanny will be able to help with some homework however, the educational development of children in the true sense, is the main responsibility of a governess. We also offer to find a professional governess who will mainly focus on the child's educational development and they will have a formal educational background. 

Cleaning up After Children:

A professional nanny will always concentrate their efforts on the safety and well being of your children. Due to this, they will not want to do any deep housekeeping as they prefer to be creative and offer their energy to the children.

A nanny is not a housekeeper and they will normally only be responsible for tidying up after the children or supervising the process. We also have nanny housekeepers available who are happy to take on some of the housekeeper duties however, due to the nature of the job, a professional nanny will usually be a better choice for your child.

An important point to consider is that there are a number of working hours in a day and the more time a nanny spends doing housekeeping, the less time she will be able to offer to your children. Of course, if the nannies duties are high and the job is very demanding, the nanny will simply be over worked and over stressed which will lead to the nanny not being with your family for long. There must be a good balance.

Night Time Routine:

The night time routine consists of the London nannies helping the children prepare to go to sleep. They will pack school bags, ensure that all homework has been completed, help with washing, brushing teeth and reading a bed time storey.

Before the nanny will go home, they can speak with the parents about what has happened during the day, the child's achievements and request any items that may be needed. 

If you are considering hiring a live in London nanny, it is important to note that unless you have agreed previously that the nanny will also work during the night if the child wakes up, looking after the child during the night should not be their responsibility.
