As children grow and enter school, the family begins to decide whether to keep their nanny by adding more household duties or switch to an after school nanny. A Nanny Manager has become such a popular combination of Nanny and Household Manager, and there are several variations that we have given it a category of its own. Duties can include: preparing the children for school, driving them to school and activities, deep cleaning during the day, laundry, shopping, meal preparation, running errands, pet care, overseeing vendors and contractors, organizational projects, homework assistance, transporting kids to activities, planning birthday parties, making travel arrangements and more.

After being in school all day with 20-30 other children, your child can have a snack, get homework done in the comfort of his/her own home, go to after school activities, and if needed can practice piano, receive one-on-one tutoring in math or English, all while getting individualized attention for the afternoon, The nanny may throw in a load of laundry, start dinner, run an errand to pick up a gallon of milk or a gift for the weekend birthday party. She goes online and monitors homework assignments, and keeps up communication between school and home. She can work the same schedule all year or be full time in the summer.

A stimulating, relaxing summer is the best preparation for a new school year.Family Assistant
Also called a Mother’s Helper, the Family Assistant is is an extra set of hands for busy parents, working side by side with an at home parent, typically doing 50%-50% childcare and household duties. The parent is usually present, but the nanny is capable of caring for the children while the parent is out. She may be playing with the children, preparing meals, driving children to activities, tutoring, managing the family calendar, doing laundry and light housekeeping. A Family Assistant can be available when a parent or senior is recovering from surgery for a few days to a few weeks, and maintains complete confidentiality and is there to protect your privacy. Recovery is augmented because you have physical and emotional support as you recover at your own pace.
