If you’re new to the world of full-time nanny childcare, it can be challenging to navigate through the process of figuring out what you can expect your nanny’s job will necessitate. In reality, the role your full-time nanny plays in caring for your child or children will largely depend on the full-time nanny responsibilities the two of you agree upon when you hire her. And as your needs change and your child grows, that role can change over time. This list covers typical full-time nanny responsibilities you can expect most childcare providers will offer.

Your full-time nanny will be responsible for taking care of your child in your absence during agreed upon work hours. These duties include care such as feeding, bathing, changing diapers, maintaining a routine, putting your child down for naps, and ensuring the well-being and health of your child.

Some childcare providers also provide extra services which not all nannies will be able to give your child. These include driving your child to and from school or other classes, teaching your child another language, errands and taking care of household chores.
