The perfect match.
N4YK Nannies are trained as educators, child carers, teachers or pediatric nurses with additional skills such as foreign language skills, experience abroad, musical education, artistic talent, enthusiasm for sports or others.
The tasks of a nanny are divided between raising children — age-appropriate and individual support and demand — and light household activities such as shopping, food preparation, laundry care, driving and messenger services around the children (max. 30%).
More extensive housework and cleaning are not part of a nanny’s duties and are covered by the family manager or housekeeper.

She offers a high degree of flexibility, discretion, sensitivity and availability.

Employment of a nanny
The child senses very clearly what the relationship between parents and nanny is like and will develop best in an acceptingly loving environment.
A professional nanny will continuously inform the parents about the developmental status of their child and point out any existing deficits and special features to the parents. Keeping a Nanny Diary has become standard for many professional nannies. This way even working parents are always kept up to date and do not have to worry about missing a developmental step of their child. In addition, the Nanny Diary is a lasting memory for later and makes it easier for a subsequent nanny to take over daily routines and cherished rituals.
