Babysitter responsibilities vary widely from job to job depending on the age of the children, their specific needs and the particular requirements set by the parents. As a Daisycare Babysitter you may need to provide a meal or snack for the children and entertain or engage the kids in activities and will also be responsible for following through with the family’s bedtime routine.
For each Assignment you will have a clear understanding of your responsibilities for the night, parents contact details, defined expectations and in-depth information of the needs and routine of the children in your care. With this information, you will be prepared for anything that might happen while you are babysitting. These instructions will help you understand how to carry out each of your responsibilities so you are not left guessing on your own.
At the end of the night we provide parents with a written evaluation of the night how the children were, how the night went and how the children’s time was spent with the Daisycare Babysitter. This is especially useful for young babies with feeding times and for older children as parents can talk to their children about their night the next day
Our Daisycare Nannies
Being a nanny means you have more freedom to go places, do things and enjoy the child/ren in your care without the restrictions often imposed on carers in Child Care Centres. There is no typical nanny position job description but a few things will remain the same regardless of which family you do work for. Your primary responsibility is the day-today care and well-being of the children in your care.
The actual make up of the day is reflected by the individual needs of the family and child/ren and their routine and age/s and each family has different expectations and requirements for their family. They require a Daisycare Nanny who is organized, creative, understanding, patient, reliable and levelheaded and are a match for their family.
Duties include feeding the kids, bathing the children, planning activities, helping with homework and driving children to activities and arranging play dates. Housework directly involving the children is usually your responsibility. Therefore, keeping the children’s rooms clean, doing their laundry, preparing their meals and cleaning up the dishes after the meals is usually part of the job. Don’t just let the days happen, plan activities and share your day’s events with your employers through a daily diary. Set a good example. Keep your environment tidy, your appearance respectable, act like a professional and you will be treated as such.Communicate with your family. This is one of the most important things to promote and is essential in establishing and maintaining a successful relationship with your employers.
What was in one position may not be in another so it is wise to discuss in your interview any questions you may have to clarify everything and make sure it is determined before commencing a position.You need to be prepared about what you expect in a position to be able to make the informed decision that that family is the right one for you just as if you are a much for that family.
