Why Hire a Live-In Nanny?

There is a never-ending loop of deadlines and to-do lists while juggling job and family. You have an extremely busy schedule: working during the day, picking up the kids from school, taking them to various activities, returning home, cooking, cleaning, and preparing their breakfast, and when the kids are asleep, ordering everything online, cleaning, trying to get some sleep, and then starting over.

Do you remember the days when you could go to the gym, sleep late, or order takeout, and when you had time on your calendar for yourself? It can feel impossible to balance a work, a partner, and children. Well, with the proper support system in place, it doesn’t have to be.

We advise working families with school-age children to hire a live-in nanny or nanny/housekeeper. You’ll have time to relax as the house is tidied up, kids are picked up and taken to school, and meals are made. On weekends, you can sleep in and go to the gym. It is not insurmountable.

What is a Live-In Nanny’s Schedule?

A live-in nanny or live-in nanny/housekeeper often works a set Monday through Friday schedule. As your kids grow connected, you might want them to stay for a long time, but everyone, including nannies, needs two days off from work to recover and feel like they have a work-life balance. Seven days in your house is another reason not to choose the au pair option.

You should hire a different weekend babysitter to handle the weekends. Because they are available on weekends, this is typically a student with nannying experience. They will keep your kids busy, wake them up and play, tutor them if necessary, see to it that their homework is completed, and let you sleep in a few mornings.

What to pay a live-in nanny?

Since you are giving your nanny accommodation and board full-time or during the week, you might be able to negotiate a cheaper hourly rate. It’s crucial to remember that your live-in nanny will have a flexible schedule. A live-in nanny will unavoidably work more than 60 hours per week unless you have strict rules regarding when they can and cannot work. In such cases, we advise keeping payment in line with market rates due to the ease of the nanny’s constant availability. You and your nanny will both benefit in the long run if you respect their time by providing them with paid time off or other benefits. Our knowledgeable recruiters would be pleased to assist you with this process and provide the ideal structure depending on your particular requirements and

What is the difference between live -in nannies and other nannies ?

A career nanny is a preferable option for younger children (infants to five years old). A professional nanny will be educated and experienced in psychology or early childhood education. They will be able to set limits, teach through imaginative play, comprehend sibling rivalry, and strive to make sure the kids grow up to be content, well-rounded teens and adults since they will have experience with the age groups your kids are in. Since your kids will be attending school after the age of six, hiring a nanny or maid is reasonable. They won’t get as much from a career nanny as a younger child who spends more time at home because they attend school for longer.

What is the difference between an au pair and a live-in nanny?

Families may wonder, “Why not an au pair?” Finding a good caregiver is like winning the jackpot, despite the popularity of au pairs. You might win a nice one, but they are usually as carefree as you were in your late teens and nearly as young as your own child. Compared to nannies, au pairs don’t need as much training or experience. Even though this could be a suitable addition to your family, it’s preferable to make a single, long-term hire that will be an investment in the growth and achievement of your kids.n.
