The Family Daycare

Content: Duties are generally restricted to child care and the domestic tasks related to child care. Nursery nurses on average work 50 to 60 hours per week. In addition to specialized training, the nursery nurse will also have successfully passed the national British certification examination of the Council for Awards in Children’s Care and Education (CACHE), which is formerly referred to as the National Nursery Examination Board Certifi­cate (NNEB). In the United States, the term “nurse” is reserved strictly for licensed medical professionals. Parents’ Helpers
A parents’ helper is employed by a family to provide full-time or part-time child care and domestic help for families in which one parent is home most of the time. Parents’ helpers may be left in charge of the children for brief periods of time and may or may not have previous child care experience. Resort Nannies
A Resort Nanny is an adult who provides temporary, high quality childcare services to a child while the family is traveling to a hotel or resort. These nannies provide more than just supervisory care but work to stimulate the child and help them experience the very best while their family is on vacation or staying at the hotel. They may work with the same family year after year as the family travels back to the destination or they may work with a family only once. Sleep Trainers
A sleep trainer is a nanny who specializes in developing individual routines and systems for helping babies and children develop solid, healthy sleep habits.
