Family friendly

Whether you live in or out, as a nanny you have to find your place in the family, says Jennie Lindon Partnership with parents is part of good practice for all early years practitioners. But nannies will experience partnership in a different way from the key person role in a nursery. You are employed directly by the family and you work in their home. Live-in nannies additionally share that home as their own living space. So nannies have a more personal working relationship than in even the most family-oriented early years centre.
