profession nanny
this profession can rightly be considered one of the oldest, and the work of a nanny is similar to the work of a teacher. the nanny teaches, monitors the daily routine and nutrition, is responsible for the moral, mental and physical health of his ward.
consider the main types of nannies:
• daytime, working with children from morning to evening. she takes the child to school, groups, takes him out of class, deals with him, can cook food. if such a nanny is invited to a preschooler, then her duties include walking for hours, organizing proper nutrition, developing games and activities;
• night, which will be with the child from 8 pm until the morning. such a babysitter can be invited for the whole night or for a few hours;
• a nanny living in an employer's apartment provides round-the-clock child care;
• a housekeeper who combines childcare with housekeeping.
we can single out a seasonal nanny who works with the child during the holidays, and an evening babe who will pick up the child from school, staying with him until her parents return from work. a separate category is to include nurse guards, who in addition to education are responsible for ensuring the security of their ward.
