What Teacher Nanny Services should I choose?

Teacher Nanny Services

This is our bespoke service that combines the bridge between teaching and nannying. General duties of our teacher nanny includes a combination of nanny services and responsibilities as well as a tutor’s responsibilities.  As opposed to a regular nanny who focuses on providing childcare services, a teacher nanny will usually focus their efforts on educating your children. Teacher nannies have two roles as they will also have the vital role of ensuring your children are safe, secure and healthy as they teach them their daily lessons just as any other reliable and responsible caregiver would.

Depending on the hours that you need your teacher nanny, they will allocate mini sessions to support your child with any topic’s in particular they need assistance with, providing relevant resources and information to further their understanding of the topic. The child can take regular breaks and then continue with learning, to ensure they are alert and aware of what they are learning.

After this session, the teacher nanny will then continue with the daily duties of which a nanny will normally do, such as light housework and assisting the child throughout the day.

Duties of a teacher nanny are as follows:

• Prepares lesson plans and follows plans for your children based on their ability.

• Assesses and monitors child’s ability to understand the material of the lessons daily.

Shared Nanny/Nanny with own child

Our shared nannies are a great way for your child to gain social skills by integrating with other children. It is also a cheaper option as the childcare cost is shared between two families. However, it is important to communicate to the other family/families that important requirements are met, such as organising holidays, where the nanny is to be based and how the nanny will be paid.

The total cost of a Shared Nanny is likely to be that of a regular nanny, although this cost would be shared by the families involved at an agreed rate. 

Here, you may find a nanny will have her own child. This usually works as a bonus as your shared nanny can see things from both the nanny and parent side of things and would treat all children as she would her own. She will have a mothering instinct and will ensure all children are treated fairly and given as much love and care as possible.

It is important to note that if your nanny has a baby, you will need stair gates or cupboard locks. If you have a large family, you will need to be understanding of whether all the children can fit in the nannies car.

• Two families share the nanny all the time, so the nanny cares for both sets of children all the time
