Nanny job description
At The Celebrity Personal Assistant Network, we have successfully placed top nannies worldwide, so we have helped many families craft a robust nanny job description.
The following is a guide to help your family understand nanny duties, but please be advised that no two households are the same, so consulting with a domestic staffing professional is recommended.

Does your agency have a nanny job description template?
Nanny job descriptions should be robust
We don't recommend that families try to use a nanny job description template with the assistance of a domestic staffing agency.
The reason is that each state has employment laws that vary, and families need to be cautious about inadvertently breaking the law.

How much do nanny jobs pay?
Nanny salaries can vary a lot and it depends on a number of different factors. Some of those considerations include:
Successful nannies that can be an "all-in-one" candidate are typically more indispensable. So, if a nanny can create a stimulating environment, engage in educational activities, and actually help with raising children will command a higher salary.
- Will the nanny be caring for multiple children?
- If the candidate will be doing children's laundry
- A live in nanny typically works on a reduced salary
- Candidates with a valid driver's license have increased compensation
- A hybrid nanny with assistant duties like grocery shopping have increased remuneration
- Professional training in child psychology warrants a pay raise

A final word on making a nanny job description
Job descriptions for nannies should be specific about the responsibilities so candidates know the scope of the job. We should be clear that a childcare professional, tutor, babysitter, nanny, au pair, governess, and assistant are all quite different jobs; and the duties should be melded together without consideration for a higher salary.
At the minimum, a nanny should have a high school diploma; but a BA degree in Education or Child Development would be appropriate if tutoring with the child will occur. Hybrid nanny jobs include candidates who perform household chores and meal preparation; and additional compensation is also customary in those circumstances.
