Anyone who decides to hire a nanny mainly wants their children to be well cared for, accompanied by a close, familiar caregiver. A nanny is closely woven into the family’s daily life, and her exact duties depend on the employer family’s situation.
A live-in nanny lives in the household with her employers and is constantly present. A live-out nanny lives in her own home and is only present during her working hours.
Whether the choice falls on a live-in or live-out nanny depends on factors such as available space and the family’s wish for privacy, and on the nanny’s own living situation.
Both versions have pros and cons: a live-in nanny is always immediately available, but the lack of distance can lead to friction. Clear agreements with the nanny matter either way.
Looking for a professional nanny for your children? We only pick out the caregivers we ourselves would choose for our own children, requiring excellent references or training as a childminder or educator, and we get to know every candidate in person, never by Skype.
We look forward to your no-obligation enquiry, or go straight to our request form.
