How does a live-out nanny differs from a live-in nanny?
Both live-in and live-out nannies share the same duties and responsibilities. There are however significant differences in terms of:
Accommodation: A live-in nanny lives with the family and typically has a separate room, and either a private or shared bathroom. The live in nanny will have access to the common areas such as the kitchen and living room. In some cases the family may provide a nearby flat, for added privacy and convenience.
Compensation: Live in nannies usually receive a compensation package that include free room and board. This may reduce their overall salary depending on location.
Flexibility: a live in nanny can be more flexible with their schedule, while a live out nanny may be more restricted by their commuting schedule.

Why Hire a Live-In Nanny?
Balancing work and family can feel like an endless cycle of deadlines and tasks. For many families, this busy schedule leaves little time for personal care and relaxation.
Live in nannies are generally able to accommodate variable work hours with wider coverage and potentially provide additional babysitting service as needed.
We highly recommend hiring a live in nanny or a live in nanny/housekeeper for school aged children. With their help your home will be kept organised, your children cared for, picked up from school and meals will be prepared.

Live in nanny
