PRACTICALLY PERFECT IN EVERY WAY – your Nanny/PA
How to keep your Nanny long after the children have started school!
Nannies very quickly prove themselves indispensable to the families they are employed by. They add value and bring efficiency. Chaotic households can often be calmed once the childcare is ordered. Mary Poppins was considered practically perfect in every way, and indeed for many homes, the nanny can be the sole reason life runs smoothly. Small wonder, families are loathed to let a good one go.
But what can they do when the nursery duties have morphed into school runs? They’ve outgrown the children so they’ve outgrown the role, right? Not necessarily! These days, nannies don’t automatically have to return to the childcare market to fill another position caring for young charges. These days, many morph into what’s become known as a Nanny/PA role
This new role blending Nanny and PA allows many nannies the opportunity to remain in their position, combining childcare duties with managing a busy household – and is indeed a brilliant solution for many employers.
As professional hard working nannies, they continue to organise the school run in the morning and cover childcare in the home afterwards as mentor, offering meals, excellent homework support, providing them with a caring and nurturing home environment while parents work. But what will they do while the children are at school?
Nanny/PA duties may include:
Organising daily family needs like dropping off the dry-cleaning, taking pets to the vet, arranging household grocery orders/purchases and organising household repairs.
Admin/office management
Planning and booking travel and diary schedules
Managing household accounts
They may also be required to organise events – both business and family-focused.
So you see, your much loved nanny remains indispensable, still adding value and efficiency, long after the children are all grown up.
