A nanny is a caregiver who looks after children in a home setting. They are responsible for a variety of tasks, including feeding, bathing, and supervising playtime. Nannies may also help with homework and engage children in educational activities. They often work closely with parents to ensure the child's needs are met. Nannies can be full-time or part-time and may live in the family's home or commute daily. Some nannies have formal training in child development or early childhood education, while others may have experience from previous childcare roles. Many families choose nannies for personalized care and attention for their children.
