Nannies and au pairs

Nannies and au pairs provide childcare in private households, caring for children’s daily needs and supporting their development. Their responsibilities include supervising play, preparing meals, organising activities, assisting with homework, and ensuring a safe and nurturing environment.

Nannies usually work full-time or part-time in the family home, while au pairs often live with the family and provide childcare in exchange for accommodation, meals, and a stipend. Both roles require patience, responsibility, and strong communication with parents to support children’s routines and wellbeing.
