As childcare professionals, nannies are commonly needed in many realms to provide bespoke childcare services, including the following: 

• High-net-worth (HNW) individuals
• Celebrities
• Those managing a full lifestyle

Often, lifestyle management firms also hire nannies to provide dedicated childcare professionals for their clients.

Nannies offer the ultimate flexibility for families with extensive time or travel requirements and those with more than one residence. They allow you to tend to your work and many responsibilities while resting assured that your children are receiving the time, attention, and care they need to thrive and grow as individuals.

The difference between a nanny and a babysitter is that a babysitter typically provides short-term services that involve caring for a child for a few hours. Consequently, they may work with multiple families on a regular basis.

In contrast, nannies usually live inside the home with the family on a long-term basis and provide bespoke childcare only to that family. These professionals typically have multiple responsibilities, including managing the child’s schedule and needs.

Because nannies provide bespoke childcare services, their responsibilities typically depend on the family’s individual needs. The home manager may have other staff responsible for cleaning the home or may expect the nanny to provide light cleaning during the day.

A live-in nanny lives in the home with the family, sometimes providing childcare services around the clock for those with extensive needs and schedules.

A night nanny is sometimes referred to as a night nurse. These nannies are typically focused on providing around-the-clock care during the newborn or infant stage of development. They may also care for children with special needs during the night.
