Types of Nanny Jobs in London
There is a range of nanny jobs in London, and sometimes job titles can get confused if a nanny is from another country. For instance, a babysitter in the UK is someone who sits in the home during the evening while a child sleeps and the parents are out. Babysitting is a casual job, that does not require any formal qualifications.
A nanny is anyone who looks after a child sole-charge for part or all of the day. You could spend the time at the family home, or take the children out and about. In the UK, professional nannies often hold childcare-related qualifications and have several years of experience working with children. They are expected to have knowledge of child development, and be able to support children through key stages and milestones such as weaning, walking, talking, potty training, and reading and writing. Nannies can live in the family home, but the most popular are live-out.
An au pair is someone who is generally young (16 – 20yrs old), and lives in the home with the family. They have come from abroad and are in the UK to learn the language. They take on household duties, such as cleaning and cooking, with very few childcare responsibilities.
