A couple of nanny myth busters here... Myth 1. Nannies are just glorified Babysitters. Well let’s bust this myth right away. There’s nothing a nanny dislikes more than someone calling them a babysitter!! 🙄 A babysitter is a casual relationship with a family and someone who only helps the family out a few hours a month and mostly when the children are sleeping. A family often has a couple of babysitters that they use for those oh so rare date nights. Nannies are qualified professionals with a chosen career path, who have either had an education in childcare development or have chosen a more formal route through a nannying college such as Norland or Chiltern Nannies. They are dedicated to the family that they work for, often working long hours and becoming a valued member of the family. The expectations of a nanny differ to a babysitter. A nanny will care for the children physically, socially and emotionally. They also help with the running of the family home and support with homework. They are a key role model and nurture the children in their care. Myth two. Men Can’t be Nannies. We are currently seeing more men choosing a career in nannying, and its so refreshing to see gender stereotypes challenged within the childcare sector. What a great example and role model for your children, teaching them that any gender can do any job. I'm looking forward to the number of male nannies rise in the future. I'll be back to bust some more of those myths soon. #nanny #nannyjobs
Yes, big difference ! My daughter wanted a babysitting job when she was 14 so I suggested she put a little note through the neighbour's door. She wrote "I am very good with children as I am one myself" 😅
