The nanny’s primary responsibility is the care and safety of the children entrusted to their care. If time permits, they will certainly do children’s laundry, tidy, and organize children’s rooms and play areas, do children’s dishes, and wipe up counters etc. Parent’s laundry, ironing, dishes, and other household chores are not typically part of a nanny’s duties. If time allows, nannies may agree to do these additional tasks; however, you may wish to consider additional compensation. When the children are old enough to go to school, some nannies like to transition into more of a Household Manager position and take on more responsibilities.
