Nannying is a form of childcare where a caregiver, known as a nanny, looks after children in a family's home. Nannies are responsible for various tasks, including supervising playtime, preparing meals, and helping with homework. They often create a safe and nurturing environment for children, allowing parents to work or attend to other responsibilities. Nannies can work full-time or part-time and may have different qualifications, such as experience in childcare or certifications in first aid. Some families prefer hiring a nanny for personalized care, as it allows for a more tailored approach to a child's needs compared to traditional daycare settings.
