Responsibilities
Provide a Safe, Loving, and Stimulating Environment for the Children

There is no other responsibility that is more important for a nanny then for you to provide a safe and loving environment for the children. This environment should also be stimulating and filled with play that is both educational and silly at times. The children must be able to play inside and outside daily while you carefully supervise them.

Responsible Child Care

Includes dressing the children and teaching them to dress themselves, diapering and toilet training. Grooming, bathing, brushing hair and providing the children overall goals in hygiene.

Meal Preparation

Caring for youngsters includes preparing their meals and feeding them, depending upon their ages. In some homes, you will be expected to prepare meals for the parents as well. Diapering and potty training toddlers and infants will also be part of your duties if the parents have babies. The children must be bathed, groomed and dressed in an appropriate manner. As the children grow older, you will teach them to do these things for themselves.

Transportation

Often, not always, a live-in nanny also assumes the role of chauffeur for the children, as you will be expected to take them to social functions, such as birthday parties, sports and other group lessons. The parents will often organize playdates with other children their age and you will drive them there and supervise. Outings to the park and other child-friendly areas are expected as well.

Caring for Sick Children

Your nanny duties include caring for sick children, and you must use safe practices to ensure that the illness doesn’t spread to the other youngsters in the home.

Light Housekeeping.
As a nanny, you will be expected to do light housekeeping where the children are concerned. This includes keeping their rooms clean and tidy, doing the children’s laundry and cleaning up the kitchen after meals. Heavier housekeeping duties may be necessary depending on the preferences of the parents.

The parents are the employers; therefore, you must consult with them about their child-rearing rules and the ways to discipline a child who doesn’t follow them

an all-around household helper

We are looking for an all-around household helper for early mornings in our Chagrin Falls home. This job would involve both household tidying/cleaning and help with kids. We need help three days a week (these can be flexible) between 6:30 and 8:30 to wake up with the kids and get them ready for school. We would love an experienced homemaker who can balance household chores (dishwasher, laundry, light vacuuming) with breakfast for two young teenagers in the morning. We would love someone outgoing and friendly (it's not easy to wake up teenagers in the morning), able to drive and cook a basic breakfast, and especially skilled at laundry - which is our main household chore, along with other light cleaning. $12 - $15. hour
