Although it's a little late in the season, there are still summer nanny positions available. Live-in positions for the summer are focused on keeping the children entertained, transporting to lessons and activities and staying on track with summer reading lists as well as keeping those academic skills honed. Nannies should be flexible and willing to go with the flow while still providing the children with structure. Most nannies are asked to pitch in around the house even if this is limited to cleaning up after the children. Nannies should have basic CPR and first aid training and an understanding of sanitation, health and hygiene. Background checks for the nanny and the family are a wise move for everyone. Summer nannies are often invited to join the family on holiday with their expenses paid which is a nice perk! Willingness to search out stimulating activities and encouraging creative learning activities at home will earn high marks for any summer nanny. Live-in nannies should expect a private room and bath and preferably a private entrance. Cable, internet and laundry access are also common and reasonable expectations. Occasionally a family will provide access to a car or other perks such as membership to gyms. As of this morning all of these sites were listing summer nanny positions:

The wonderful thing about summer nanny jobs is their great potential to turn into an easy winter holiday job!
I think that this is the best nanny jobs in summer. But I have a question regarding timings. Please tell the timings for summer.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to comment. In the U.S. summer nanny positions range from the end of May and may run until the first part of September. These positions may also lead to short-term employment over the winter holiday breaks.
