A nanny can help any family to have consistent, excellent childcare on their schedule. For some families, though, the ideal circumstance is to have a live-in nanny who can be available to help at nearly any time. Tried and True Nannies and Sitters, your Nashville nanny agency, can help you find the best fit.

 

What Is a Live-In Nanny?

A live-in nanny is a nanny who lives in your home. Keep in mind that this doesn’t necessarily mean the nanny will be available to work around the clock. It does, however, often offer you flexibility if you have a shifting working schedule or if you may be called away for emergencies at the last minute. For that reason, it’s a popular option for doctors and others who may be on call for emergencies.

 

Full-Time Live-In Nanny vs. Part-Time Live-In Nanny

A live-in nanny can work as many or as few hours as you hire them for. A full-time live-in nanny generally works 35-40+ hours per week while a part-time live-in nanny works 35 hours or less each week.

 

Live-In Nanny vs. Nanny Outside the Home

Most nannies today have their own homes and commute to their employers’ homes for their work hours. However, a live-in nanny can be an excellent choice if you need more flexibility in your nanny’s schedule. This arrangement can also allow the nanny to feel more like a part of the family, creating an especially strong bond between your kids and your nanny.
