Responsibilities of a Good Nanny

Parents may want a nanny for taking care of their child while they are away from home. For parents this calls for an understanding of what a nanny is supposed to do. First and foremost a nanny is much more than a house maid or a cook. However there could be extra activities which a nanny may do, but the prime task of her is to render utmost care to the child. To qualify for a nanny’s job one has to have special compassion towards kids. She should have good presence of mind to face unforeseen challenging situations. Following is a list of duties which a nanny is supposed to carry out during baby sitting: -

• The baby sitter should be skilled enough to appease an agitated or crying baby.

• Feeding the kid at the right time.

• Maintaining cleanliness in the house to keep the kids away from diseases.

• Engaging the child in creative activities such as art and craft to enhance their IQ.

• Enchant the kid by engaging him or her in various playful activities.

• Assist the child in his or her studies.

• Teaching children how to behave amicably. This involves teaching good manners and etiquettes.

• Regaling the kids by narrating them motivational stories or reading them inspirational quotes, which are capable of lifting their mood.

There are nannies who assume extra responsibilities apart from taking care of the child. They may do housekeeping, laundry and many other domestic activities as well.

There are many online baby sitting services in the US which provide skilled and certified baby sitters to families. Apart from providing professional baby sitters to the families, these online companies also specialize in housekeeping, senior care and corporate and convention services.
