Types of nanny
There is a wide variety of types of nanny to choose from to meet the needs of your family.
Salaries for all types of Nanny are dependent on experience, qualifications and location. Contact us for an update. Maternity NurseSelf-employed, the maternity nurse works alongside the mother as soon as the baby is born, 24 hours a day usually 6 days a week, for a period of approximately 3 months. This helps the mother to get her baby into a feeding and sleeping routine, and works especially well for first time mothers. The maternity nurse teaches and helps the mother through the first nerve-wracking and tiring few months of this life-changing event This arrangement also works well for parents who already have a large family with a nanny already in place and just need that extra help solely for the new baby.

Her duties will be the same as a full time live out nanny, with the added bonus of 2 extra nights babysitting included in her weekly wage. Having a live-in nanny allows both nanny and parents to be ultra-flexible with hours.
Click here for Nanny search Nanny/Housekeeper (live-in or live-out)The Nanny/Housekeeper combines the role of nanny with that of a housekeeper, looking after cleaning and day-to-day care of the house and caring for the children, the amount of time spent on each largely depending on the children's ages, and thus their dependence on her. Wages would need to reflect this dual role, and with recruitment being difficult for many families, a compromise solution is to employ a mother's help.
