The first and most important responsibility of the nanny is to provide quality care and supervision for your child(ren).

Caring for children is a demanding and time consuming job that encompasses the following:
Helping with numerous child-related tasks such as meal preparation, feeding, bathing, dressing, keeping children's rooms tidy, making children's beds, doing children's laundry, and straightening the playroom at the end of the day. Planning and structuring play opportunities and activities that are developmentally appropriate for your particular child(ren). Interacting and playing with your child(ren), i.e., reading stories, providing creative experiences, going for walks, etc. Helping older children with homework, if necessary.

If there are hours during the day which do not involve direct child care, light housekeeping chores such as family laundry, loading and emptying the dishwasher, errands, grocery shopping and dinner preparation may be part of your nanny's responsibilities.
